Hi,
I have just setup my netgear WGR614v4 router as a wireless access point
connected to my primary wired router.
The problem I'm having is that as soon as I change the wireless
router's LAN IP and turn off DHCP (the wired router is the DHCP server)
i can't log into the control panel any more!
example:
LAN IP was: (default) 192.168.0.1
changed to : 192.168.1.99 (wired router's DHCP range is 1.2-1.98)

i would have expected to be able to log in to the wireless ap at
192.168.1.99 after I had set that address as I may need to change
settings such as ssid or the WPA passphrase etc...

What actually happens is this:
I type in 192.168.1.99 and the browser says 'Netgear Router Setup" for
a second and is then redirected to netgear.com!
This tells me that the message is getting to the router, but for some
reason it thinks it's not supposed to be accessible!!

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
