I've brought an access point, Edimax EW7228apn to improve the wireless upstairs and act as a hub in the bedroom.

Main router downstairs is an Asus RT-N56U and I have a wire running to the loft which is plugged into the Edimax AP.

The Edimax setup utility suggested an IP of 192.168.2.1 (all the asus ones are assigned 192.168.1.~~~) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 with a gateway of 0.0.0.0

It is working in that things can connect to it and access the internet but I can't get to the web interface from anywhere, 192.168.2.1 just times out. Whats wrong?

Ah, so I've changed the asus to assign 192.168.1.1-253 and i've set the AP to have a static ip of 192.168.1.254 and that seems to be working, I can get to it via the PC downstairs now :)
