I don't know how to reinstall the linksys access point!!! Our wireless network that we made simply disappeared, so I'm trying to re-make one. However, when I tried that with a flash drive, it couldn't work because I have to plug it into the access point, which has no USB port. So now I'm lost. Help please!!!

T
o access the Access Points Setup, and the LAN IP address has not changed, then computer must have an IP address of 192.168.1.XXX. If the Access Point is plugged in via Ethernet to a Linksys Router and the computer is also connected a Linksys router via Ethernet, then the PC should already have a correct IP address (unless the LAN IP Address of the Router has been changed). If unsure, please assign the computer a Static IP Address so it will have an IP address in the same range as the Access Points IP Address.

If the Access Point is being connected to a hub/switch/router via Ethernet, then use the cable that was provided with Access Point. If the Access Point is being connected to the computer directly, then a Cross Over cable must be used. Cross over cables can be purchased at most electronic stores.

Remember: When ever a change is made in the Setup of the Access Point, the Apply button must be used to save the settings to the Access Point.

1. Open a web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape)
2. When the browser opens, go to the "Address" bar and input the IP address of the Access Point.
   Default IP addresses:
   • WAP11 v2.8 - 192.168.1.251
   • WAP54G v1.1 - 192.168.1.245
3. A "User Name" and "Password" prompt will appear, leave the "User Name" field blank and input the Access Points password (The default password of a Linksys Access Point is admin) into the "Password" field.

Connect your PC to the the acess point's LAN port, through an ethernet cable (normal network cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends). Turn the access point on. On the PC, start an internet browser and type "192.168.1.245" on the address bar. At the login screen, enter "admin" for both User Name and Password. The web interface should appear.
If you need further informations on how to set your acess point up, and your user guide happens to be missing, you can download it from this location, after selecting your access point hardware version.
Hope you are able to sort your problems out.
Cheers! Carlos
