Resolved WN802T access point cannot access address

I just purchased a WN802T Access point and connected it to my Cisco linksys E1200 router. The instruction say to connect to the access point using address 192.168.0.233 but it times out each time. The access point shows up as "netgear" in my wireless settings but I want to access its webpage and secure it. thanks in advance.

 

The first thing I always do when troubleshooting network issues is disable any firewall and see if that allows it to connect.

The next thing you need to do is to confirm that 192.168.0.233 is its actual ip address.

Have you tried pinging it?

You could also check it using ipconfig that it does exist there.

 

i will try that, i have since changed to a netgear router, the address is also 192.168.1.1, where do i assign the Pc a static ip address at?

 

I think I got it. Thank you so much. I am running windows 7 64 bit, I went into network and sharing and changed the adapter settings on the tcp/ipv4 to the ones you recommended, then got into the netgear access point, assigned it what you said, although I changed the IP to 192.168.1.4 b/c .2 was taken, reverted the adapter back to obtain automatically and now the access point is running. thanks again

 

how do I mark this as resloved?
