How do you manage a NightHawk after its been turned into a WAP?
Once ive converted it to a WAP it is nothing more than a fancy bridge... how do you access the management page at that point?
Easiest mothod would be to change the routers default IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.50, manually disable all features like uPnP, DHCP server and any other features accept for WiFi. Connect the router to your other router via LAN to LAN connection. Don't use the WAN port on the router your changing into an AP. Just use one of the LAN ports in back. Then onces it's connected you can access the APs Ui at 192.168.1.50 from any where on your local network.
thanks.. i was fearing factor reset was going to be the fix.
It seems like a bug in the firmware if you keep dhcp selected
