Sorry, this is slightly offtopic but someone here might have a similar
setup. I have the wireless access point F5D7130 (connected to a zoom
adsl router.) No problem with any of that- it works brilliantly.
However, I don't seem able to access the WAP, which I understood I
should be able to do by entering 192.168.2.254 in a web browser. It
tries to connect, but gives up after a couple of minutes. Any idea what
I'm doing wrong, or do some models come with a different IP setting?

TIA

The last one I connected to got it IP address by DHCP as default. Or you
have to use the utility supplied.

You will need to set your *Wireless* Client to the same subnet as the
WAP before you can access the Web-based interface. Perform the following
steps from the computer you wish to configure your WAP from:

Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP
1. Go to the Windows control panel and double-click on the Network icon
or the Network Connections icon.
2. Right-click on the Local Area Connection for your Wireless adapter
and select Properties.
3. In the General Tab select the Internet ProtocolTCP/IP settings for
your wireless adapter and click on the Properties button.
4. Select the “Use the following IP address” radio button.
5. Enter and IP address in the same subnet as the Access Point. For
Example: 192.168.2.200
6. Enter the following subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 then click OK
Note: Once you have completed configuring your WAP, repeat steps 1
through 3 above. Then select “Obtain an IP automatically” or set a valid
IP for your computer on the same subnet as the network you are

Thanks- that did the trick. Oddly, the instructions are all in French,
but I can handle that. Thanks.

Except the model clearly says it is the UK one.
