Try setting the R6220 back up how it was so the WAC104 can connect to it. Then you should be able to log into it and reset it via the menu

Thanks Plemans.  I put the repeater's MAC into the router and saved it.  I'm able to connect to the network on the old SSID and password, but it is different than what is configured for the router now.  I can't seem to find the web interface for the repeater to connect and configure it.  It isn't responding on 192.168.0.100.  I tried to scan the network/dhcp logs for the MAC, but didn't see it.

    did you change the router's ip address? 

    Check what the R6220's current ip address is. Your r6220 and the wac need to be in the same subnet

      I did change the IP from when I had the repeater on the network originally.  Should I change the router's IP back to the old address?

        Yes, change it back to the one you had it one. the wac has to be in the same subnet as the router to access it
