Access Dlink WAP on 192.168.0.50

Hi

I have a Dlink DWL 2100 Ap which was working fine but I did not know the user name and password. So I have performed a hard reset back to factiry settings.

Using Advanced IP scanner the WAP when plugged in to my router shows up as at 192.168.0.50, Manafacturer giver as D-Link Corp and the MAC address is given.

But I can not access the WAP through my browser. If I ping it no response is given. Does anybody have any thoughts? Of course I could simply go and buy a new one but i see this as a challenge now!

Thanks in advance.

what is your subnet? if its not 192.168.0.x, then you cant reach the ap.
try to set up a fix ip. - f.i 192.168.0.5 and try again to connect.

another possibility is that you have to use a switch between ap and computer or a crossed cable without switch

Hi it-consult

Sorry dont quite understand. Can you expand on your question

"What is your subnet? if its not 192.168.0.x, then you cant reach the ap.
try to set up a fix ip. - f.i 192.168.0.5 and try again to connect."

When you say "try to set up a fix ip. - f.i 192.168.0.5" is this to give the router a fixed IP?

IP address of router is 192.168.1.1
Subnet of router is 255.255.255.0
Start IP address at 192.168.1.20
IP Pool Counts 50
Gateway IP address is 192.168.1.1

Thanks.
