WNCE4004 How can I change the static IP

Question

I do not have WPS so followed the instructions for installation without WPS.

Problem is that the device has a fixed IP (192.168.1.240) and therefore I have to set lan address on my pc to same subnet so I can talk to the device.

Followed all the instructions and set device up for my existing wifi AP which is on a different subnet. Once I apply the settings I lose connection to the device. At no point in the proceedings am I given a chance to change the fixed IP or "default" IP, so my first question is;-

How may I change the fixed "default" IP so that the device is accessible on my lan subnet?

Better, Is there any way I can get round the dreadful (evil) Genie and use a dumb browser interface?

Best, Can I SSL or Telnet into the device and do it all on CLI?

Hi&nbsp;Budgie4,

The IP should change if it is connected already to the AP. The fixed IP is just the IP of the adapter for initial installation. No need to to set a static IP on your computer since the adapter will provide IP for initial configuration.

Hi James and thanks for the follow up. I am not yet able to confirm all is well. I am still trying to diagnose a problem which is not, I trust, due to WNCE4004 but by fixing its IP address in band I want to remove one of the uncertainties so hopefully I can pin down problem. Will post again when hopefully I have solved the problem. Thanks again. Budgie

Hi and many thanks for the follow up which is appreciated. I have not had much success with my WNCE4004 and only slightly better luck with a Linksys WET54G. The problem is getting long term reliable bridge function for a multimedia device which uses UPnP/multicast to establish and maintain communication with control app on phone. No body has an authoritative answer to this problem and it is not clear to me if problem is with bridge device or main wifi AP or both. If you have any answers please let me know. I cannot be the only person seeking to control his media player with a phone app over a wifi bridge!!!
