Reverting Wireless Router from AP Mode

NathanSAFC · 08-28-2008, 09:07 AM

Hello.

I am in serious need of help. I've honestly tried to fix this myself but to no avail and therefore would greatly appreciate any help.

Basically after encountering a few connection problems with my Wii Console I decided to have a play around with my Belkin N Wireless Router. To cut to the chase I've accidentally set my router as an Access Point which has cut off my Internet access (I've changed to a direct modem > computer connection for now).

The real problem is that because of this I cannot go back to my configuration page because the connection has been lost and thus cannot revert it back.

I've tried the reset button on the back of the router but nothing has changed.

I've did a few Google Searches and it looks like someone had the same problem...

The only thing is that I don't really understand it.

Can anyone help? It would be very much appreciated.

Hold the reset button for at least 15 seconds with power on, it will revert to factory defaults, which will allow you to access the setup page again.
