How to assign SSID after factory reset Wireless Access Point(WAP54g)

If you performed a factory reset, open a browser window and type in the following in the address line:

http://192.168.1.1
or(Depending on model/version#, etc)
http://192.168.2.1
and hit enter.

Username: admin
Password: admin

This will allow you into the gui and you can then configure it from there. Hope this helps.

You don't need an SSID (the routers should have a default one such as linksys)
You do need to connect to the router (you can connect to it as you said it has open auth)
After that go to your web browser and type:
192.168.1.245 or 192.168.1.1 (these are the most frequent IP's used by default to access a router)
after that username (blank) password admin. So no username just password.

192.168.0.1 gives the GUI of firewall

192.168.1.245 or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.245 gives connection timed out in browser.

According to your description above, this is what you need to configure/manage your WAP. I also wanted to add that it is usually best practice(at least for initial setup) to configure the initial settings via an ethernet cable and not attempting to do so wirelessly. As, any changes that are made will drop your wireless connection.

I am typing this from a wired connection system in the same network. I am not able to get the interface wherein I can set a wi-fi network name and SSID, as I have explained above. Wi-fi works without issues which indicates that there are no issues with the wireless acceess point

Telling us what Wireless Access Point it is will help us give exact instructions, but what I expect is happening is that your WAP is sitting quite happily on your network, configured as 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1 or something similar, HOWEVER, you are in a corporate LAN, therefore your PC that you are working on has an IP Address which is in a different subnet, i.e. 10.100.10.x or 172.10.10.x etc.

Therefore you need to put a static IP Address on your PC for a short period, in the correct Subnet Range (i.e. 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x) which will allow you to log in to your WAP, and give it an IP Address on your normal LAN range, and set the SSID, WPA2 encryption etc.

Let me know how you get on.

the ip addresses are in the range 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254

You still haven't told us what WAP it is, so we're still guessing.

However, assign yourself an IP Address on your Local PC, in the 192.168.1.x range (for example 192.168.1.22) with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, no default gateway, no DNS etc.

Then try to access the WAP by attempting to connect to 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.229 or 192.168.1.254.

If that connects to the WAP, give the WAP an IP address beginning 192.168.0.x and reboot it.  Set your network settings on your PC back to 192.168.0.x (probably via DHCP) and then you will be able to configure your WAP using the 192.168.0.x address you gave it before.

If you cannot access your WAP when you have configured your PC as 192.168.1.22, then reconfigure your PC as 192.168.2.22, and then try to access 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.229 or 192.168.2.254.

This is the WAP we use

So, when you access the gui you cant configure the AP(IE: SSID, DHCP range, etc) settings? Everything you need to do and access is in that same gui.

Thanks for the correct solution.
