I Connected the ap directly to the pc and i entered ip :169.254.125.10 and subnet 255.255.0.0 and default gateway 169.254.255.255 and now my network is identified properly but if i ping thr default gateway it shows request time out and even if i enter the gateway ip in web browser it goes to page cannot be displayed
With reference to your concern you can try to disable the firewall and all the other security centers installed in the computer. Once after disabling then try to ping the IP address and the default gateway and check status...
Hi, I would like to know what's the router that you are using? There is another way of checking if the WAP is still detected or not. If your router has a DHCP client's table it would also be good to check if the WAP is detected and shows up on the list. You can also do arp -a again while the WAP is connected to your router (this way you can check if it is able to grab an ip address from the router).
If i connect the ap directly to the pc through wire and static ip and gateway 169.254.255.255 so i can see connection is enabled but no way to have the interface open through a web browser by openin IE and entering 169.254.255.255
If i dont assign static ip so it says unidentified network
@zee , i tried that yesterday , i plugged the ap 610n to my linksys wrt54gs directly and did arp -a but none of the devices that populated on the list has the mac address shown on the bottom of the device.
What does it mean when the mac address shown for a device on the arp -a result are FF:FF:FF:FF etc??
Did you check the DHCP client's table of the router? After all the reset that you made on the device it still does not show up? Then most probably the device is no longer talking. No longer functioning.
BTW the mac address FF:FF:FF:FF (http://wiki.wireshark.org/Gratuitous_ARP) A gratuitous ARP request is an AddressResolutionProtocol request packet where the source and destination IP are both set to the IP of the machine issuing the packet and the destination MAC is the broadcast address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Ordinarily, no reply packet will occur. A gratuitous ARP reply is a reply to which no request has been made.
