Hello--I purchased an WRV210 to set up as a wireless access point on our office network, to replace an older competitor's unit. Since we already have DHCP on the network, I've elected to attempt to configure this device using my own laptop. Here are the steps I've taken, which is approximately the same steps as the pamphlet lays out:
1) connect my laptop to one of the four ethernet ports on the back of the router
2) power up the router (I've disabled my wireless on my laptop, btw)
3) open a browser and type "192.168.1.1"
nothing comes up. It cannot connect.
So I pulled up a command prompt and pinged 192.168.1.1. No answer.
So, then I pulled up the ethernet adapter configuration, and set the adapter to the following:
IP address: 192.168.1.31
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: (left blank)
still no response from the unit. So then I assigned the default gateway to the address of the router, 192.168.1.1. Still no response.
Please Help!
