Hello,
here´s my problem, I hope some one can help me.
I have 5 computers in my homenetwork. They have a shared internet
connection via a Sitecom 8 ports broadband router with DHCP. Everything
works well. One of the computers though is a laptop and I´d like to have
that one wireless, so I bought a Sweex wireless router.
I connected the Sweex wireless router on the Sitecom broadband router
via the uplink port in the WAN-port of the wireless router. The browser
address to configure the Sitecom router is 192.168.62.1. I gave the
laptop a fixed IP-address (192.168.62.2) so no two DHCP servers are in
my network. I set the default gateway on 192.168.62.1 which is the
IP-address of the wireless router.
On my laptop I can see that the signal is excellent but I can´t ping my
wireless router with ping 192.168.62.1 (Page cannot be found) to
configure the wireless router...
My Sitecom router ´sees´ the wireless router and gives it the IP-address
192.168.0.8 with DHCP.
My questions are: what is the default gateway for the wireless router?
Is that the IP-address of the Sitecom router (192.168.0.1), the
IP-address the wireless router gets from my Sitecom router (192.168.0.8)
or the IP-address by default from the wireless router (192.168.62.1)?
Why is it not possible to ping the wireless router and configure it with
my browser?
Do I have to make a networkbridge in my laptop or is that not necessary?
I hope someone can help me.
