Trouble with a cheap WiFi router ...
Posted by joeblo20 on January 21st, 2006


Hi, I got a Gigafast WF719-CAPR wireless router recently and since
then, I had trouble installing it (although it seems quite simple, I
know ...) The most frustrating problem right now is the impossibility
to access the IP address of the router (192.168.1.***), even if I plug
the Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports and adjust the PC settings
adequately (default IP address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253,
default IP subnet mask : 255.255.255.0) By the way, I don't want the
desktop to be wireless. It can stay plugged to the router all the time.
I have also a IBM laptop ready for wireless (so I don't need any USB
adapter, right ?). The PC runs on Windows 2000, the laptop on Windows
XP. So, what's going on ?

Typically, the IP address of the router itself is 192.168.1.1 so you
can't be assigning that 192.168.1.1 address to any other device on the LAN.
