Unable to connect to my own access point!

sid · 9 May 2007 at 17:47

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.

It could be loads of things. It's extremely unlikely to be anything to do with the TA612V though.

Hmm such as lol?

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.
