I was fiddling with my modem looking for better speed and changed it to 5 Ghz . I don't have a 5Ghz radio adapter to connect to it now ,only 2.4Ghz . Many adapters don't work with Puppy and I am using xenialpup64-7.5 .
Is there a way I can connect to the modem to change it back ? 192.168 etc.
Can I use my phone maybe or does someone know a 5Ghz or Dual adapter that will work with xenialpup?

Hi
You can definitely log into your router with your phone. I have had to use that method before

Wish it worked . I just tried with 2 phones ,old though they may be ,and they only get the 2.4Ghz routers not 5Ghz. So no have not got it yet.

I think all modems have an Ethernet port for connecting to a computer. Mine have. If you connect a modem to a computer through an Ethernet cable, all you have to do to configure the modem from the computer is open a browser and enter the modem's IP address in the browser's address window, then enter the browser's password and Bob's your uncle.
