Re: [tlug] Wireless router attached to a wired router

Hi Dave,

But that doesn't work and I'm guessing because the router is assigning
it's own IP addresses.

That's the standard system to access configuration of almost any
wireless AP or router so it should work.
Though it is not recommended to configure a wireless device over a
wireless connection, your router should enable by default a 'factory'
wireless network. If so you could try accessing 192.168.2.1 over such
wireless network, just to understand if the router works.

If the router doesn't have any problem, plug the utp cable on your pc
and statically assign an address 192.168.2.X/24 on your NIC.
At that point if any ping to 192.168.2.1 works, you should be able to
access the configuration interface of your router through your
browser.

Regards,

Marco
