WNCE4004 How can I change the static IP
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...

- Budgie4Jan 03, 2017TutorHi 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

Community Team- Budgie4Jan 19, 2017TutorHi 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!!!
