Trouble Shooting

I

am using a non-Windows based computer?

How do I configure IP Address and Wireless

settings on the Access Point?

1. Assign your computer a static IP Address of 192.168.10.x (where X is an available

address from 1 to 254).

2. Follow steps 5 and 6 in Section 5 Configure the Access Point to log on to the Browser

configuration for the Access Point.

3. Follow step 7 in Section 5 Configure the Access Point to configure wireless settings.

4. Click

network and then click

Apply

.

5. Click

to save all changes.

I specified the IP address http://192.168.10.100 in my Internet Browser's Address Bar, but an

error message says "The page cannot be displayed". How can I get into the TEW-455APBO's

web configuration page?

Check your hardware settings again by following the instructions in section 2.

2. Make sure the LAN and WLAN lights are lit.

3. Make sure the TCP/IP settings are configured properly (see Q1).

4. Since the Access Point's default IP address is 192.168.10.100, make sure that no other

network devices are assigned an IP address of 192.168.10.100.

If my network's IP is different than the Access Point's range, what should I do?

You should still configure the Access Point first. After all the settings are applied, go to the

Access Point's configuration page, click on TCP/IP settings and change the IP address of the

Access Point to match your network's IP.

After I successfully configured the Access Point to meet my network settings, I can not

connect to my network using wireless computers.

If you have a DHCP server in your network, you need to go into TCP/IP settings again and

re-select "Obtain an IP address automatically" to allow the PC to regain an IP address from

your DHCP server.

All the settings are correct, but I can not make a wireless connection to the Access Point.

1. Double check that the WLAN light on the Access Point is lit.

2. Power cycle the Access Point by unplugging the power to the Access Point.

Wait 15

seconds, then plug the power back in.

3. Contact the manufacturer of your wireless network adapter.

Make sure the wireless

network adapter is configured with the proper SSID.

The default SSID of the Access Point

is

TRENDnet.

I changed the password on the access point, but I can no longer login.

What should I do?

Reset the unit.

Unplug the power to the access point.

Unscrew the connector that is labeled

reset. Press on the white reset button.

Plug the power back in without letting go of the reset

button.

Wait 10 seconds, then let go of the reset button.

The default user name and

password is admin.
