Nmap:

Run from the command line:
nmap -T5 -sP 192.168.111.0/24
Subsitute your class C IP block of addresses.

1.192.168.1 is something like what you would get if you have a
corrupted or misaligned firmware image. There are WAP54/WRT54G
recovery proceedures on various web piles. Looks like you'll need to
scan all 6 billion IP addresses if your actual IP address is that
badly mangled.

You might also try:
apr -s 192.168.0.1 xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
to set the IP address to the MAC address of the router. Test it with:
ping 192.168.0.1

Recovery mode is accessible by stomping on the reset button for over
30 seconds. Your IP should be 192.168.1.1 after reset. This works
with the WRT54G, should work with the WAP54, but I'm not sure.
