I recently changed my router to another model (ZTE H168N).
I got my wired internet connection working, and the results given by ipconfig seemed to be fine.
I checked my default gateway and it was 192.168.1.1.
Then I tried pinging it, and all requests timed out. This is especially weird since I do have an internet connection. I then tried the same thing on all of my other devices with the same results.
Also, I cannot access the router's configuration page.
What could possibly cause this issue?
Things that I have tried:
- Disabling the windows firewall
- Power-cycling the router including all devices
- Double check the default-gateway's address
Edit: I have factory-reset the router as suggested. I did not work.
Here are screencaps of my current configuration:ipconfig /allarp-a

It's unusual but the router appears to be blocking incoming ping (ICMP) requests on the LAN interface.
This doesn't really hurt anything. But, it should be a configuration option in the router.
Unfortunately, the company doesn't even have a US support page and google returned useless information, so that's about where I stopped looking for a manual with instructions.
