I want to connect to an existing network wirelessly and use the RBK50 ethernet port to connect a laptop. Can this be done? I can't figure out how to access the admin screen and I already have a working network, so I don't want to go through the network setup again. Just want to access and configure the RBK50 and set it to bride mode. I tried connecting to it via ethernet but it didn't work. I'm hoping I can use it for something, rather than having it just sit in the closet.
Appreciate any help.
