- Discover IP of Access Point?
- Posted by Thief_ on September 27th, 2005
We have a LinkSys Access Point setup in the office but we want to change its
WEP setup but no one knows the IP address. Is it possible to find the AP's
IP address?
Regards

The standard address is 192.168.1.250.
However, it's unlikely that in an office environment that the network
administrator didn't select a custom address.

Unless you changed it from its default, it's listed in the instruction
manual.
If your office is small then you can detect all live IP addresses
in the current subnet with this command:
for /L %a in (1,1,254) do ping 192.168.0.%a -n 1 | find /i "bytes=" && pause
(this is one long line).
After ignoring the workstation addresses, use a browser to test the
unknown addresses.
Lastly, it is good practice to document all Access Point settings
(IP address, network name, keys etc) in your system documentation.

Tried that. Only gives the firewall address not the AP!

If you do a Tracert to any public Internet site, the first hop should
reflect the AP IP.

Hi, I would have thought that, and correct me if I'm wrong, running CMD then
running ipconfig would give you the default gateway?

Yes, you are correct, just suggested Trace Route to actually test the
traffic path.

This will only work if the access point is also a router.
If it's only a switch then its IP address is used for administration
purposes only and plays no part in the route.
