IP address for linksys wireless-g access point

ShatterProof

Hi,
I'm trying to access my access point to allow allow another laptap access my wireless network. I have it limited by mac address.

I've tried the usual 192.168.1.254 & 192.168.1.245 and got nowhere. When connected to the access point I've ping everything from 192,168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 but nothing responsed.

Any body know what other address it might be ?

Thanks.

(i know i should have noted it down the last time i connected )

Click Start - Run - Type "cmd" click ok.
At the command prompt type "ipconfig" without quotes and click enter.

The Default Gateway is the routers ip.

is it doing dhcp and giving you an ip address?

if not you could use something like wireshark to capture traffic when you connect to the router and see what address and network are being broadcast when it starts

Assuming Windows:

Start > Run > "cmd" > "ipconfig" and look for the default gateway address, this is your router.

EDIT:
Too slow

ipconfig is returning 192.168.1.1 as default gateway but cant connect to that address via browser

Are you connecting through the lan cable or wireless? Some routers wont let you log on to the router when using wireless.

linksys normally use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 as default, but it could be set to anything. as has been mentioned, ipconfig and it's your default gateway address.

If its an access point it won't give a dhcp lease therefore You'll need to give your network card a static ip in the 192.168.1.x subnet to access it.

Nope, that is a customised address, routers / ap's will always have an IP either at the beginning of or end of a subnet. Must have been changed at some point.

The IP on your router on a wireless setupis the IP of your default gateway.

It usually is 192.168.2.1

Rightclick on your Network icon to bring up the properties box. Select Status, When that appears go to tab Support. There you'll find your default gateway address.

Ehhhh Thanks?

Strangely enough not, the actual default ip for a Linksys access point is 192.168.1.245, all references online point to this:

That's true for the Linksys WAP54G

But other models differ:

The default gateway shown in the network support would show the one to use or google your model number.

I do not have a linksys router ....... its an access point and

1) the actual default ip for a Linksys access point is 192.168.1.245
2) access points won't give a dhcp lease
3) you have to manually give your network card a static ip in the 192.168.1.x subnet to access it

Cheers.
