    Configuring the Access Point
    « on: December 16, 2011, 08:16:14 AM »
    As you can see I can access my modem and my router. But I don't know what to type to access my access point.
    I can connect to it with internet but I really want to configure it, it's already high up on the ceiling and I don't want to go to the attic and go unplug the adapter just so I can configure it.
    I found this http://192.168.0.229 but seems to me that my PC has to be connected to the Access Point through LAN, I tried accessing it through wireless connection but it doesn't work.

    I'm not sure I understand. What is it you need to configure? Exactly what are you trying to do? Your system should see the access point in your Networking applet in control panel

      You should be able to do that from within the networking applet

        Connect by LAN then open browser and type the local IP Address of your Netgear wireless router to be able to change or configure.
