I have a Netgear router that is the main router/gateway in and out of the network. Then I have a Linksys 54g router with WiFi that we use as are main WiFi access point
The Cat5 runs from the router to the WiFi routers LAN port (not WAN). And then if you connect to that WAP you are basically on the network.
I want to be able to find out what the IP address of that WAP is but so far I can't figure out how to:
- I've tried doing a tracert to the gateway IP but I get nothing.
- I've scanned all the IP addressed in the network.
- I've gone to the Netgear main router and looked under attached devices but it doesn't say anything.
Any ideas on how I can figure out how to administer it? (I do have limited physical access but my attempt to plug into it came back with a faulty IP (in the 169 range where the rest of the office is 192.168...).
I never set this router up to begin with so I'm reluctant to just kill it with the reset button because I can't get into see what the settings are set to.
note the windows traceroute is tracert – quack quixote – 2009-10-05T20:45:00.070
yes... in "their world" they have "copy" instead of "cp" but "tracert" instead of "traceroute". weird world :) – PEra – 2009-10-05T20:46:21.267
not so much. remember 8.3 filenames? traceroute.exe is too long. :) – quack quixote – 2009-10-05T20:55:31.857
Yeah - they have/had funny limitations everywhere ;) – PEra – 2009-10-05T21:03:01.763
