I have been trying to troubleshoot my router this days again.

I don't know what I did for it to start connecting to my computer.  But I still get issues.  

I can't connect to thisnode.info 

I have followed the troubleshoot tutorials again and when I run the command ip -4 address show scope global or ip route. I get the follow up address 10.5.5.0/24 

I don't know which to use to connect.  Nevertheless, I have tried 10.5.5.0 and 10.5.5.24 but none of the above still connects.

I have tried ip -4 route show scope global. But I get no result. 

When I run the route -n or netstat -nr , i get 10.5.5.0 or 169.254.0.0 as the kernel IPS. The gate way is 0.0.0.0 for both IPS and genmask is 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.0.0 respectively.

Nevertheless, when I try connecting to  the router using ssh root@10.5.5.0 I get network is not reachable.  

When I try 10.5.5.24 or 169.254.0.0 , I get no route to host.

When I run sudo netdiscover I get 10.5.5.55 as the IP of the tp link router. When I ssh root@10.5.5.55 , I get connection refused. 

My knowledge is finished.  So I  really need help on setting up this router. 

Note I have very limited knowledge in networks so my questions might be dumb at times. 

 one the things I  will love to achieve is to do my final year project on libremesh. 

Thanks and waiting to hear from you 

At your service
