MyRV Modem Access

[<HT]

When I try to access the LCI MyRV Router (in my case 192.168.1.241) I receive "Request Denied". Does anyone know if there is a way to access the LCI Router? I'd like to change the SSID to something more meaningful to me than MyRV_xxxxxxxxxxx.

Are you trying this via wifi or LAN cable? System changes are sometimes not allowed via wifi. Try with a computer and Ethernet cable if that’s not how you are doing it.

WiFi. i.e. I've connected my Laptop to the MyRV_xxx Router via WiFi and would like to access it's admin screens via it's IP.

I'm not familiar with the LCI gear but 192.168.1.241 sounds like an odd IP address for a router. Did you try 192.168.1.1? That's more of a default IP for a router. 192.168.1.241 is more like the address of one of the clients.

Yes, I tried 192.168.1.1. Same response (Request not allowed)

Have you done a tracert to a know site watching the hops? How did you get the IP address of 192.168.1.241?

I've seen an owned routers with 192.168.1.254; 10.0.0.1; 10.0.0.254 and a few other IP addresses. Have you tried any of the 254 addresses?

I'm a bit confused by the terminology being used. I see on Lippert's site that there's a "Cloud Gateway", "Cellular Gateway" a "WiFi Gateway Hub", a "OneControl Hotspot RV Wi-Fi Kit"...it's really confusing. none of them (that I can find) use the term "router".

Can you provide a link to the lci1.com site to the exact component you're referencing?

The one labeled “Cellular Gateway” has multiple Ethernet ports and a wifi antenna. Likely has router functionality

[Jlawles2]

Looking at the picture, the WIFI Gateway would be the wireless router. Note it has an SSID and PW.

The Cellular gateway with the twin antennae is the "modem" portion and may or may not contain WIFI.

Note in the first pic by Howard, the WIFI gateway is under the Cellular gateway and looks like 1 unit when it's 2. Note the loop yellow and black lines from top row to bottom row in the pic.

@HT
The LCI router address should be 192.168.1.2 If you change the SSID you MUST keep MyRV_ otherwise the LCI system will not talk to anything. If I remember correct I think the user name is: admin and the password is: admin or maybe password, not sure of that as it's been awhile since I changed mine out for a PepWave.
Hope this helps

<HT, agree with the above comments. When I was updating mine, I had to connect the LAN cable from the laptop to the router directly and then log into the LCI router's OpenWRT admin interface. Additionally, the 1.1 and 1.2 addresses cannot be changed and as mentioned, you must leave the SSID "MyRV_" prefix because it's hard-coded in the app. You will not be able to use the OneControl phone/tablet app unless you retain that prefix on your SSID. You can update the value after the underscore to anything you like. For example, "MyRV_CrazyLife" will work just fine.

When I swapped out the default router with my PepWave, I had to set the Pepwave to 192.168.1.2 to match the LCI configuration. Everything including the Cloud Gateway and online web access continues to work fine.

Connect the ethernet cable and log into 192.168.1.2 with "admin" as username. You may have to accept the security warning in some browsers to get to the admin page. Once logged in, you can change the SSID, add a unique password for router access, etc.

For reference, Lippert manufactures the electronic controls for most if not all of the RV's built in Elkhart. For Grand Design they are programmed by Lippert to the specs GD provides. Each control is built for each model so they are for the most part not interchangeable. If you have a control issue it is best to contact Lippert, they do have good support.
