[HELP] Belkin G Plus --> To Access Point

Hi all,

I have a ADSL Modem and a Belkin Wireless G Plus Router. Here are the
details.

ADSL ROUTER
~~~~~~~~~
IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Belkin G Plus
~~~~~~~~
IP: 192.168.18.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0


Now, yesterday I opened the Setup page from IE (192.168.18.1) and
enabled to use it as an Access Point.
It asked to enter a new IP and subnet mask. I entered:
IP: 192.168.15.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

I can use the WiFi (shows my IP as 192.168.1.4) but now what is my IP
to open the Belkin Setup Page from IE ???

I tried 192.168.18.1 and 192.168.15.1

How do I open the Setup Page ???

Is it an ADSL modem, or router?

You don't. The only way to recover from this is by punching the reset
button and starting over. Some early Belkin routers had this
"feature". When you change the mode from router or "gateway" to
"access point", there was a screen that warned you that you will need
to punch the reset button in order to reconfigure your device. This
is NOT true for all Belkin wireless and wired routers, but since you
didn't bother supplying the model number, I can't determine if this is
the case for yours.

When asked to assign the Belkin an IP address for use as an AP, you should
have assigned it an address that is in the same subnet, but outside the DHCP
range, of your modem/router. You assigned an address that is in a different
subnet. To access the Belkin now you will either have to manually set an IP
address in your PC in the 192.168.15.x subnet, or reset the Belkin and
reconfigure it properly.

The way you set this up is OK, but uncommon. It is more common when using a
Wireless Router with a DSL modem/router unit, to put the modem into bridge
mode (non routing) and use the router as a router. Alternatively, you could
also have used a switch and a WAP rather than a wireless router.

Argh. Phil Buster has the right answer (unless you have a really old
Belkin router).

You should NOT be assigning IP address outside of the original Class C
address space. If your unspecified model ADSL "modem" at 192.168.1.1
is currently assigning IP's in the range of 192.168.1.xxx, then you
should reset the IP address of the vaguely specified model Belkin
wireless G Plus router to 192.168.1.2. You may to do this is two
steps. First temporarily assign fixed IP address to your *WIRED*
computer as 192.168.18.18. Don't worry about gateway and DNS. You
should now be able to connect to the misconfigured Belkin setup page
at 192.168.18.1. Set the IP address to 192.168.1.2. Put the *WIRED*
computer back to DHCP assigned IP's. You should get back your
192.168.1.4 IP address and should see the Belkin at 192.168.1.2.

If this is too much, just punch reset and start over.
If 192.168.1.2 is taken by some other device on the network, find a
differerent IP address to use.
