I just changed my old TP-Link router for a new TP-Link router deco S2. The deco uses IP range 192.168.68.100-254 while the previous router used 192.168.0. 100-254. All the other devices on my previous network were automatically transferred to the new router range except for HA. Now I cannot login to HA because it still has the old IP address for a network that no longer exists. Is there another way I can access the current IP address and update it to the new network?
Another option is to change that starting range within the router settings. I have an Archer AX11000 and came from an Asus router. I had a similar issue and found that starting range is customizable within the router’s advanced settings.
Attach a monitor and keyboard,and use mncli con edit
Under advanced settings of the router, choose modify lan ip and change the router to 192.168.0.1. Change HA and then change the lan ip back.

I can try this but am not sure it will work. The previous TP-Link router had several manually assigned IP addresses in the 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.60 range and all of them except the HA were transferred automatically.
You should be able to connect to HA after you
- Connect your PC and HA by wire to the same switch
- Manually configure the PC’s ip-address to 192.168.0.x / 255.255.255.0
- Then connect to ha by it’s ip
Can you connect HA to your old router long enough to log in and change the IP address?
They are already connected by ethernet to the same switch. HA is installed on my current PC in Virtualbox. But I did not see HA on the IP list. How to?

This worked. I changed the lan ip to 192.168.0.1 the HA showed in the list along with everything else. Rather than change the HA IP and change the lan IP back to 192.168.68.1, I just left it alone since all of the other devices showed up there. It’s working like a charm.
