Can't access router used as access point
I took an extra linksys router and reconfigured it as an access point.
I assigned it 192.168.1.2. The main router has a network map and it shows a device on 192.168.1.2, but when I enter 192.168.1.2 in my browser it doesn't log on to the access point. I get a timeout error. The router works as an access point, but it is showing up as un secure. I want to get back into the router and set a wireless password. |

Can you ping it and get a response? On my Asus router, it says; "In Access Point (AP) mode, RT-N10P connects to a wireless router through an Ethernet cable to extend the wireless signal coverage to other network clients. In this mode, the firewall, IP sharing, and NAT functions are disabled by default. In Access Point (AP) mode, the DHCP-assigned IP address changes. Install and use the Device Discovery Utility in order to detect the wireless router's IP address." The Device Discovery Utility is DL'd from he dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/Wireless/Discovery.zip Don't know if it'll work with your Linksys. If not, maybe Linksys has a similar utility. God, I hate troubleshooting network problems :-( -- SC Tom |

I love so far from the road that someone would have to be in my driveway to log into the network. I guess I have two choices, reset the router and start over or just live with having it unsecured.

I've got a similar problem with a Linksys router that I've had for years. If I address it with 192.168.0.1 I get its login screen, but read-only. The password input field is greyed out. Since it worked fine with Win 7 I assume it's a 'feeture' of Win 10. Any ideas? -- Robin Bignall Herts, England |
