Ok im trying to do the setup procees tht came with the instructions... I get to step 2a and it says enter 192.168.0.227 and i do but nothing happens! It talks about changing the static ip address and subnet mask but i have no clue what its talking about. All im tryin to do is make it a repeater as it says clearly on the box i can... i already have internet on my computer but i want to pick it up on my ps3. Please help

Setu static Ip on PC and hook ip directly to the wgxx192.168.0.2255.255.255.0192.168.0.1

Hi, I'm going to pile on this thread because I have the SAME TOPIC problem and figure might as well NOT add yet another thread about setting up the WG602v4. (frankly, there seems to be issues with this device.)I have setup wireless routers typical of what an ISP provider sends. I have also wet up 1 nasty Canon wireless printer too. However, I'm about to return this 602 under warranty because I cannot get to Base 1 in the Setup. In fact, I don't think I'm even in the starting lineup.Anyhow, my experience/problem:OK, need to setup static IP 192.168.0.210 as per instructions.I connect a single LAN cable from the PC (XPpro) to the 602.I go into network properties TCP/IP and select manual IP address and set it to ...210 with a gateway of 255.255.255.0 as per the instructions.Then I try to access the 602 via FF and IO both @ 192.168.0.227NOTHING HAPPENS - no connection.I've tried all the 192.168.1.1 etc. combinations for automatic IP router setup and that does not work either.All the lights on the 602 illuminate which gives me the feeling that it is not broke but requires some bizarre set of parameters set to access it.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,TomPS. I was hoping to find this out for myself by playing with the 602, but since I cannot access it, I'll ask if I can use it as follows: First, I'm not sure what I would call the application. "CLIENT?" Anyhow, I would like to connect it to a PC with a LAN wire and then have the 602 connect me to a wireless network. I would be using the 602 like a "wireless PCI card" for my PC. Will it do this?I also have another application which I think is a BRIDGE where I have two isolated wired networks and I want to connect the two networks over a wireless connection. Network 1 already has a wireless router supplied by DSL provider. Network 2 would have a Switch connected to the 602. Is this something the 602 could do?Thanks again in advance (!)TomPPS. On, one more nasty thing happened. My DSL router was not wireless - just 4 LAN wire ports. After I was done trying to access the 602 with 2 or the 3 PC's on my network, neither could be reconnected to the original network! I thought all I would have to do would be to set IP to automatic and that would be all. Could not get either PC back to network. Tried for hours... Finally found a wireless router ISP provider has sent me as an upgrade that I never used. Installed it. And everything worked.What in the world happened? It also makes me fearful of messing with the 602 since I didn't have network problems until I tried to access the 602. I don't think the 602 was ever connected to the original ISP router.Thanks...

Have you tried holding the reset pin for 30-60 secs?

Yes, I did the reset pin. I can't say if I held it for 30-60 seconds, however. I guess I could try it again.

hitting the reset pin for a second or so usually doesn't wipe out the NVRAM, you usually have to hold it, and i recommend anywhere from 30-90 seconds.

see rouer reset on my sig below.

0-60sec in various duration is for resetting

Right. Maybe something has buggered his config settings, which is why I am recommending a reset now before sending the device back. Its always best to reset, restart, and retry before sending the hardware off.

support will never issue RMA until you do certain process and reset it ALWAYS #1 on the list. :)

SUCCESS!

Two things I attribute this to:

Also, did it on yet another PC, this one at the office.

NOW, I can really get into trouble. I hope Client Mode will let me use the unit (wired to PC) like a common PCI wireless card.

Thanks much for the Reset Guide !!
