This is actually part of a bigger problem, but I thought I'd go step by step. I'm trying to update the firmware of my Linksys WAP54G access point. But I can't access the set-up page. I've followed all help articles on Linksys' website, but nothing worked.
I currently have the access point wired to the same switch as my pc (I don't have any cross-over cables to wire it directly), and I've done a hard reset, which should have reverted the IP-adress back to the default (192.168.1.245). But when I try to ping the access point I get a "request timed out". The only thing the articles asked that I couldn't do was assign a static IP to my pc. I don't know why, but I get this weird error when trying to open my network's properties:
Seems like a lot is going wrong here, and I don't know where to start.
Disconnect you PC from the switch then set the static IP. It maybe that the Linksys is acting as a DHCP server giving the PC an IP. – StBlade – 2013-10-31T13:00:07.817
@StBlade Still gives the same error when trying to access the properties. But I connected it to my laptop now, and here I can access the page! – Simon Verbeke – 2013-10-31T13:09:31.013
