I have a LAN setup in my office which has 10.10.14.0/24 network and internet connectivity. I have one port of the switch connected to WAN port of my Wifi Router. So, one IP address 10.10.14.x has been assigned to router on WAN port. Internet seems to work fine when any mobile is connected to WiFi router. From my mobile, I can access WiFi router on 192.168.1.1. So on Wireless front, I have 192.168.1.0/24 network.
I have a PC in 10.10.14.0/24 network having IP address 10.10.14.y.
How can i login into Wifi Router (10.10.14.x) via PC (10.10.14.y)?
Do you want to access the administration interface ?
I don't think the Router allow to display the interface from a computer connected From the WAN port, since it's "The outside".
You need to define Port forwarding, if your router has a static ip address or the ip is known, you could add it to the port forwarding rules.

I want to write an app, that establishes direct TCP\IP connection between two devices over the internet.
I have a server to exchange IP addresses and ports, but is it enough to establish a connection?
How to handle cases, where both devices are on the one IP (connected to the same Wi-Fi hotspot)?
Also, I don't understand how open ports on the device could be accessible without port forwarding settings on hotspot? Is there any range of ports open for apps usage?
You are correct about port forwarding for most cases.
TCP/IP is OSI Layer 4 protocol. You need to be able to send data to the sever application with a known IP address and port number. Now when on the internet, this can get more complicated because you normally do not directly interface with the IP address that the rest of the internet reaches you at. This is your public IP address. The modem you have from your ISP likely implements a NAT
, which turns your private address into your public address. You modem will block all TCP SYN requests unless there is forwarding rule specifically for it.
This is just the typical case, you can also look into setting your modem up for DMZ mode and even implementing your own reverse proxy like nginx.
Is there a way to use a wireless router as some sort of Access Point + Repeater?
I have a LTE Box with a SIM Card that has a build-in router which is pretty shitty.
I now want to connect a proper router to this LTE Box (via WIFI, since the LTE Box has no LAN Port) to get internet access and then connect only to the router (via LAN Port, since I don't trust in WIFI).
The answer depends on your W-Lan Router.
Some devices got a function called WDS -> Wifi Distributed Service.
You need to specify the signal and the login data for the wlan router who should distribute the original signal.
Is it possible to set up a simple client server application to send text and other data over a wireless network in a LAN situation between two computers without setting up any network shares? By just knowing the IP address?
Yes. WiFi is just like any other network, you use TCP/IP over it to implement any network protocol you like.
I am able to establish connection between android and PC via Wi-fi. But this is done by hard coding the the IP address of the PC (server) in the android program. But I wanted to get IP addresses of the PC's available on the Wi-fi network programmatically. So please let me know how to scan for PC's on the network and get their respective IP address.
can you not multicast a UDP packet on the network which the server listens for and responds to with a packet containing the ip address of the server in order to set up the connection?
You should be able to find help on that topic, with some options here here and here
I got a WiFi router connected to my PC.
What I want is to send from another device some data to my PC through the Wi-Fi adapter.
Program on the device is developed using EVC++. The one on PC - on VC++.
EDIT 1:
PC has an IP address.
Another device s IP is set at program execution. I mean WiFi IP address. And then connection to WiFi router is proceeded.
EDIT 2:
What if it uses an ethernet and wifi together?
How should I make a connection through WiFi?
WiFI is no different to usual Ethernel network.
So you just usually find out IP of other computer (in config/ask user/DNS), establish usual TCP/IP connection and send data on.
