WN604 - can't access to set up
I can't access my brand new WN604 to even start to update it and set it up. I see that it's default address is 192.168.0.100 but I have it plugged in to a number of computers network jacks and it ...

ANYONE who is reading this, that is having trouble setting up their ng ap
WN604. here is what i did...
NONE of the instructions tell you to do this...
it was dumb luck.
my firmware version is 2.01 so this may or may not work for you.
i did a hard reset of my router to restore it.
i went to my tcp/ip on my desktop that it was connected to.
i entered in my own ip of 192.186.210 as stated.
then click in the submask and it will fill out automatic
then click ok then click ok and allow the computer to set itself with the new ip.
this may take a minute.
THEN launch IE. go to 192.168.100
enter in admin/password
then go to "wireless" and look for a gray button that says "site survey"
click it and find the wireless network you are trying to connect to and click it.
this will copy your network info over, apply it.
i do not have wireless security set up on my computers because im out in the country with no neighbors.
i then went back to my computer and went back to the tcp/ip proprerties
and click the top button (enable automatic) as it was before
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST GO DOWN TO THE NEXT BOX AND CLICK THE ENABLE AUTO ALSO ... IT DOES NOT RETURN WHEN YOU CLICK THE TOP ONE.
this will allow the computer to grab the ip as it was before. how dumb is it to have to have the computer use a specific ip address just to get to the APs IP wow. anyway, then at the same time reboot BOTH the AP and the computer and let it connect and POW i was online via lan!
GOOD LUCK!!
