Re: wireless netwrok problem


Dear Nepatsfan
Many thanks for your reply.
I have the manual, and have gone through the reset process etc and I have also gone to start. rune but all I get is not found page so it appears the unit may have stopped working correctly.

I have a wireless network being picked up by my laptop, as a default access point, with no security and I am getting a full signal, so I am assuming this is my access point due to a full signal, but if this is my access point, I still cannot get in to the setup page via 192.168.1.100 as shown in the manual.

Many thanks for oyur help.
Regards
Barry

Dear all
Not sure where I can get support, so I am posting here in the hope someone can point me in the right direction please.

I have a Newlink 11g Wireless Access Point (NLWL-ACC01) and have forgotten the wep key. I also cannot load the configuration page to reset it.

There is no support section on the Newlink website.
Can anyone help please?
Barry


Did your Wireless Access Point (WAP) come with a manual?

How about an installation CD? If so, check for a manual on the CD.

If you can't find the manual, a Google search turns up this file.

802.11g Wireless LAN Access Point User Guide
http://www.lanshop.co.uk/downloads/NLWL-ACC01/802.11gWirelessAccessPoint.pdf

According to page 5 of the manual you can access the WAP's web interface by doing the following.

Go to Start -> Run and enter the following in the Open box and click OK.

http://192.168.1.100

In the box that pops up, leave the user name line blank and enter the correct password, if you configured one earlier, and click OK. If you did not set up a password, leave the password line blank. If you set up a password and now cannot remember it, you will have to hit Reset button on the back of the WAP to restore the factory default settings.

Once you've launched the web interface, it looks like you need to click on Wireless Security in the left hand column. From there, use the instructions on page 13 of the manual to reset your WEP key to something you'll remember. You'll now need to use that key in all the devices that are connected through the WAP.

On a side note, WEP is the weakest form of security you can use with a wireless network. If possible, you should use WPA.

Good luck
