Help with Wireless Repeater

[CiviCity]

Hey guys,

I have bought a

Winstar WN518N2 Wireless N Wi-Fi Repeater

a few days ago and its giving me a major headache trying to set it up.

In the installation guide (which is very poorly explained), its telling me to setup a manual TCP/IPv4 connection on my computer.

This is exactly what it is being said:

Plug your computer with the Wifi Repeater with RJ45 cable. Type Ip address is 192.168.10.x (x is from 2 to 254). Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Type routers LAN IP address (the default IP is 192.168.10.1) into the default gateway field. Open web browser and type 192.168.10.1 and the login screen will appear.

I have tried that and when I go in my browser and type 192.168.10.1, i get an endless loop turning and at one point it tells me that the webpage cannot be displayed. This is the configuration I tried:

Ip Address:

192.168.10.2

Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

Default Gateway:

192.168.10.1

On the backside of the repeater, there is also another ip address mentioned,

192.168.0.1

So I have tried setting up my IPv4 with something like:

Ip Address:

192.168.0.2

Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

Default Gateway:

192.168.0.1

That also did not work.

My main router is a Dlink and has DHCP setup as 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.50

Im completely out of ideas and in need of help...

Thank you

Dont set a default gateway, just the IP and subnet.

If your main routers' ip range is 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.50 and you set up the wireless to 192.168.0.2 you aren't in range of the ip addresses. Try setting ipv4 to something like 192.138.0.10 or something. But to be honest, you should be able to just unplug the wireless from the home router, reset the wireless, replug it, and the home router should reassign the wireless a new ip.
