Default Gateway / IP Address Issue
I have a 2019 MacBook Pro that I bought second hand. I have been using it extensively on WiFi and everything has been fine. I decided to try it with a wired connection so I bought a USB-C to Ethernet adapter and plugged my home network into it. The Mac (in Network Preferences) showed a connection, however the Gateway was a different Class C subnet than my home network and the IP address assigned was also in that subnet. The result was no internet connectivity thru the wire.
I have tried everything I know to change the default Gateway (both in Network Preferences and via Command Line but nothing has worked. I’ve even tried manually assigning the Gateway, Subnet Mask and Mac’s IP with the same results. Physical connectivity is green, but no IP connectivity.
I'm at my wits end. Wondering if there was some hard coded gateway/DHCP server from the previous owner/ISP. Below is a screen shot showing the router and IP Address that keep coming up. My subnet is 192.168.1.x
Does anyone have any suggestions?
