Access Point I.P.

1sounder · 10-17-2009, 08:01 AM

I have a modem/router with an I.P. ending in 1.254.

I have two access points that have a default local I.P. ending in 0.50.

I changed the second AP to end in 0.51 and everything is working.

My question is should I have configured the two access points to end with 1.XX rather than 0.XX??

Modem/router and APs are different brands.

Thanks.

No, if you put them in a different subnet, they will not be accessible.

Thanks for your reply!

So I must re-config the APs to 1.xx

Why are they working now as configured as 0.xx?

What is the make and model of your modem, router and APs?

I'm also interested in seeing all the exact make/model of the equipment.

If it's currently working, what's the problem?

The modem/router is a Netopia - not sure of the model, but I think it's a Cayman 3346.

The APs are Dlink-1522

There is no problem now, but I can't figure out how it could be working when the router subnet is 1.xx and the APs are configured with 0.xx

Thanks!

Perhaps there is a route set up on the router that points to the 192.168.0.0 network?

Another point, the IP address for the WAP is likely just for configuration, and the WAP is just passing any traffic that shows up.
