I've got the aforementioned access point and I'm trying to use it to extend my wireless coverage. There is a Netgear ADSL modem and router sitting first, but I'm slightly too far from it to get a good signal so I've got an ethernet cable dragged and I'm connecting it to the access point.
It connects, but the problem is that the network is not secured and I don't know how to access the setup utility to change it. I did RTFM, but the default IP given there doesn't work. Is there a way to find out what IP I should use?
I should also add, that I don't have credentials to access the Netgear's setup (it's a shared accommodation and the admin is unreachable), so I can't see connected devices and their IPs.
As far as I know that's router's IP (the Netgear that's on the top) and it's already set up with a password. However, my access point (Linksys) makes a hole in this security by creating an open network - that's what I'm trying to fix. – Maciej Gryka – 2009-08-13T09:42:50.857
@maciej: Ah Ok, then I suppose you have to go the way @Pär describes – fretje – 2009-08-13T10:08:33.603
