Max number of clients in a AP5131 is 128

some times your computer's firewall gets in the way, try disabling it then ping again.

Ideally, there shouldn't be any configuration needed. Access points are transparent and only work as a bridge between wireless and wired network so devices should obtain their IP info from your DHCP server not the access point by default.
If you face problems, then there might be a DHCP server in the access point, disable that.

good luck

Hi

You can set up the AP 5131 through Hyperterminal by accessing it through COM1 to start,
19200 bits per second
8 data bits
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None.

Good Luck. :)

Greetings, It is entirely possible that it has a RAM error but again this may be part of the power spike problem. Its not unusual for RAM to be affected. I don't suppose it is connected into a power spike connector? It would be wise to invest in a good one with throwouts on all plugs and use it specifically for all your PC set up. I had two router/modems affected last year ( in summer) whenj lightning is not around one would think! But there is more lightning in summer than winter according to the Gurus's of weather.

I now have all sensitive items plugged into an expensive power board with double protection fuse/cutouts and so far all has been well.

If the unit is under any warranty I would be taking it back and just complaining that is stopped working suddenly, without explanation or intervention on your part. Let them replace it. Dont ask about spike arrestors in the same shop HAHA as they may suddenly refuse to exchange it.

Ram chips are not cheap anyway, and both chips could be damaged as well as internal componenents. I don't suppose you can smell any burn in the unit? (not always evident)

Cheers

Just pull the power supply plug out for thirty seconds. It works for me. You are correct I don't ever use the reset button. In fact the techs at Verizon told me to just pull the plug out.
Hope this is what you wanted,
Please leave rating...thank you

1) Must be powered
2) Must use crossover cable
3) Connect to WAN port...

else, download the manual, get a serial cable, and connect to the console port using hyperterminal on 19200,8,none,1,no protocol...
