Heres my setup

My ISP is virgin media with cable modem.

The cable modem is plugged into a Netgear TA612V VOIP router's Wan port.

A Netgear WPN824 Router is plugged into the Switch of TA612V and is basically configured as a Access point with DHCP disabled on it (enabled on the TA612V)

The IP addresses of all connected item are in the 192.168.61.x range

The netgear access point is .11 and I am unable to connect to it by typing the address into the web browser??

I can connect to the main router fine but I am unable to access the Access point. Is it likely to be the firewall on the router messing it up?

BTW I don't desperately want to connect to it, If I wanted to I could reset it and connect to manually with cable. Theres nothing wrong with AP as im using it now.

Would this have anything to do with the fact that it is now behaving as a switch?

No, even as a switch and wireless AP you should still be able to access it.

Do you have any ideas as to why it won't let me connect?

Im thinking it could be a firewall issue. I have tried connecting to it using a cable connection as well but i still will not work.

Yes i know ... Do a Factory reset, Put details in .. And change the channel to 1... if it doesnt work then ... Check your computer your trying to connect with .

Jay!


Thanks, i'll try that sometime, its just that doing a reset now will destroy my network setup and i don't have time to fiddle around with it.

Cheers for that, i'll keep it in mind.
