On a router provided by the ISP
Given Doug's in my time zone, it's safe to assume that he, like most north Americans, is far less likely on DSL than cable, where routers IME historically have been owned mostly by users. It's only relatively recently that cable providers have bundled their own routers with/in their modems to further gouge subscribers. I've never used a router supplied by a provider, and only briefly used a provider modem. You're correct. The router is mine. By some quirk of fate, it does not have a password, so I can log into it. It turns out that the last time I did was in 2012! I don't know why I replaced it somewhere along the way. Almost all the hardware it connects is newer, so I'll have to adjust it one of these days. Just one more thing to do.
Carlos suggests that I use ip addresses similar to the automatic ones it assigns, and that makes sense, even tho it's one more character to type anytime I need to access something by its address. I am grateful for all the assistance that I've found on this path here! --doug
