Lost IP address of Router

Just been playing with my wireless router and changed the IP address (I;d
previously changed it and wanted tp put it back to the default setting -
changed it from 192.168.0.100 back to 192.168.1.100) - Now I can;t connect
to it at all.

Have tried the factory reset button which seems to have worked as my
wireless laptop can connect to it but all of my wep security settings are
gone.

Is there any way I can find out what it is?

For your info - I have Broadband coming in to my PC on a newtowrk card - I
have a second network card that goes to a hub - this feeds two wired network
points to two other PC's - a third cable goes to the Wireless Access point -
Has all worked perfectly for a while until I tried to fix it when it wasn't
broken!!

Have run IPConfig on main PC - shows both network cards but but defauylt
gateway on Network Card 2 is blank - Smae on laptop but Default Network just
shows IP address on my 2nd Network card (192.16.0.1)

Any idea's

not if we don't know what the router is.

Been there, done that, decided I'd never do it again :-)

If the router is now running on a 192.168.1.x address you will have to
temporarily change the IP address of one of the PC's (use one connected
by cable) to an address of 192.168.1.y. You will then be able to
connect to the router and administer it.

If you then change the router to a 192.168.0.x address you will lose
contact with it until you change your PC's IP address back to a
192.168.0.y address.

It's fun playing but I tend to use my router on its default address
(192.168.1.1) and either use its DHCP function or set the PC's manually
to 192.168.1.y addresses :-)

Have you put the default IP address into IE? You may also have to change
the IP add of your PC to be the same "network" say 192.168.1.1 with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0

Then change the IP address of the router to be within your preferred network
address etc.............
