Please note that you will lose any custom router settings you previously configured if you
factory reset the device using the reset button.
‘Duplicate Administrator – The device is managed by 192.168.1.xx currently’
The admin pages will only allow one user (defined by the IP Address of the connected
wireless or Ethernet device) to access the pages at one time.
You can prevent this error by logging off from the admin pages before using another
computer, or before switching between a wired and wireless connection on the same
computer.
To fix the error:
•
Return to the computer (or connection type) that you were previously logged in using,
and logout.
•
Turn the router off, then back on again – the other computer will be logged out
immediately.
•
Wait 10 minutes for the previous session to time out.
By default, it will take 10 minutes for the session to time out before you can login on
another computer. Restarting the router will clear the session time out and allow you to log
back in immediately. You can change this session time out period in the Password Settings
page under Advanced Set-Up > System in the router admin pages.
If this doesn’t fix the problem, or you believe that somebody else may be accessing your
admin pages:
•
Change the login password for the router to something different (in the Password
Settings page under Advanced Set-Up > System in the admin pages)
•
You may also like to check that wireless security is turned on, and change to WPA, and
change your WPA wireless security key to something new (see
Wireless Settings
on
page 59)
NAVIGATING THE BRIGHT BOX ADMIN PAGES
