Hi @Ron601 

 

The IP address you've quoted 192.168.11 is missing a final block, so I'd presume you might need to use 192.168.1.1 maybe? - it should have 4 blocks of numbers not 3.

 

Having said that, you shouldn't need to connect to any IP address to use a WiFi hotspot, what is it you're trying to do?

If that's not a typo as @bristolian suggests, try 192.168.8.1 or 192.168.0.1.

If your wifi is able to connect, you can find the IP address of the router via Commend Prompt - IPConfig/all

 

BUT it will usually be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
