tried to setup a 4 port belkin wireless router as an access point only, to connect to another wireless router, it took the change, changed its IP to 198.168.2.254 but now I cant see the belkin at all via the maintenance page address
tried the reset at the back but no luck, is there any way to get the danged thing back to factory default if you cant see the maintenance screen?
fwiw, this Belkin unit has been a real headache,
Any particular reason to not disclose the model number of your Belkin nightmare?
Stomp and hold the reset button for at least 15 seconds. The more the better.
What happens is that if you had read the destructions that came with your unspecified model Belkin router, you would have discovered that the access point mode disables the web config interface. Put it in access point mode and you lose control of the device. Brilliant design work.
However, all is not lost (after you reset it back to defaults). You can convert any wireless router as an access point by simply:
You're supposed to be able to hold the reset button down for 30 seconds or more for the router to reset back to factory defaults. If that doesn't work, then you may have to use the Admin of the router and set it back yourself. If neither one of them do not work, then you might want to slam the router up against the wall and see if that will do it for you. :)
