How do I configure my Linksys WRT160N to be a wireless access point?how do i find IP of wired access point300 megabit/sec access point with only 16 megabit/sec transfer speedLinksys WAP54G v3.1 no access, power and link LED solidCan't find PC on networkI lose access to my router's config interface once I set it to “Access Point”Configuring a Wired Access Point - Linksys WRT54GSubnet bridging Raspberry pi access pointMy wireless interface can't see access pointCreating a captive portal splash page for rasberry pi running hostapd as wifi access point
This is actually part of a bigger problem, but I thought I'd go step by step. I'm trying to update the firmware of my Linksys WAP54G access point. But I can't access the set-up page. I've followed all help articles on Linksys' website, but nothing worked.
I currently have the access point wired to the same switch as my pc (I don't have any cross-over cables to wire it directly), and I've done a hard reset, which should have reverted the IP-adress back to the default (192.168.1.245). But when I try to ping the access point I get a "request timed out". The only thing the articles asked that I couldn't do was assign a static IP to my pc. I don't know why, but I get this weird error when trying to open my network's properties:
Seems like a lot is going wrong here, and I don't know where to start.

Not so much going wrong. Just Windows being annoying. WAP54G does not act as a DHCP server, which is why you need a static address (or at least, an address in 192.168.1.X that isn't 245) set for the PC.
This assumes the WAP54G is on stock firmware, and has not yet been DD-WRT'd – in which case it will move to 192.168.1.1 (IIRC) I've been much happier with mine since I DD-WRT'd them, and dropped the speed a tiny touch (underclocking in the overclocking tab.)
Try the "details" button and (if that doesn't also have an unexpected error) see what the PC address is reported to be. If your normal network setup is in the 192.168.1.X range, connect your router/DHCP server back up and get an address that way.
