Hi,
Check to make sure your IP addresses on your computers is set for the MN500.
The MN-500's DHCP IP addresses goes as 192.168.2.x
and the Linksys DHCP IP addresses goes as 192.168.0.x
Just check to make sure if you are using a static IP address that the 3
octet of the IP address is 2 for the MN-500. Or just make sure your computer
obtains an IP address from the MN-500.
Then you should be able to ping the MN-500 at 192.168.2.1
if you're still unable to ping 192.168.2.1 try doing a hard reset by holding
a paper clip or a similar object to the reset button and hold it for about 8
seconds. Then let go and your MN-500 should restore all it's settings to
it's default values.
Then try pinging 192.168.2.1
Good luck!
