Accessing WG302 via http since the year changed?
I am getting a "Self Certificate" page since this morning accessing my WG302's. Any insight?
If you don't have a Serial-Cable to administrate your WG302 device, then do the following steps:
1) Unplug the Ethernet-Cable from your WG302 device and disconnect all wireless clients.
2) Reset your WG302 device to factory default settings (hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds).
3) Connect the Ethernet-Cable to your WG302 device.
4) Login thru Webadmin-Interface (192.168.0.228) as: admin/password.
5) Go to "Basic Settings" an give your device a new IP-Number, i've changed my to 198.168.0.2/255.255.255.0, my FVL-328 Router has 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 - these steps are not necessary.
5.2) And now the important thing! Make sure that DHCP Client is disabled and Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS Server is set to 0.0.0.0. Leave the date at 2006 - do not change it!
6) Go to "IP Settings" and enable "Use AP as DHCP Server".
6.2) Check "Accept Both DHCP Enabled and Static IP Configured Wireless Clients".
6.3) Set an IP-Range for the DHCP Server, for example 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.150, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0. Gateway IP Adress 192.168.0.1. Primary DNS IP Address 192.168.0.1.
7) Configure Wireless Settings Setup, Wireless Settings Advanced, Security Profile Settings, Access Control Security, Password and Remote-Access as you like.
8) Go to Management/Backup/Restore Settings and "Back up a copy of the current settings to a file" (it is not necessary, but maybe you will need it in future days).
You're done! The WG302 device stays at a date of 2006 and you have any time access to the web-administration-interface. :)
