[OT] IP address

Hi,

I don´t remember what´s the Access Point IP address so I can´t connect to
it.

I can´t reset the Access Point becouse I don´t remember the configuration
and it´s working well.

What can I do ?

Thanks

1. Start a Command Prompt.
2. Type this command: ipconfig
3. You will see your PC's IP address. It will look
like this: 192.168.0.44. The first three numbers
are called the "Subnet". Make a note of it.
4. Type this command:
for /L %a in (1,1,254) do ping xxx.yyy.zzz.%a -n 1 | find /i "bytes=" &&
pause

xxx.yyy.zzz is the subnet you found in Step 3.

The command in Step4 will pause whenever it finds a valid
IP address. One of those is your Access Point.

When finished, create a configuration text file for your access
point. In it you record every setting such as its IP address,
its password, its WEP settings etc. etc. so that you never
again get into the situation of having to re-invent the wheel.

A faster way!

Just use "ipconfig /all" from the command prompt.

The IP address for the DHCP server and/or the GATEWAY should be your
access point. This is the case for home office APs.
