Browse All TopicsI am having trouble connecting to my routers home page. I had a problem before and was advised to go to the home page (192.168.2.1) and utilise the 'use as access point' function. I tried this a couple of times and didnt have any luck. When i came back to it one afternoon i just simply couldnt get on to the routers homepage at all, the connection just times out. Can you help? Thanks.

Belkin Wired/Wireless Router - Model #: F5D7231-4.

questions:
is this a new setup? if not, then goto start-->run type cmd and hit enter
at the command prompt, type ipconfig
if your ip address is NOT 192.168.2.x then do the following:
you have to set your LAN on your computer as a 192.168.2.x address first
after you set it to a .2.x then you can access the router
if you do not know how to manually set the ip address here is how:
right click network place or network neighborhood
right click on local area network
double click tcp/ip protocol and change to a static IP
