Hello!
We have a allen Bradley network setup in our work place, currently we access this by a D-link Ethernet switch the old fashion cable plug into a laptop method.
I have managed find a old Linksys WAP54G access point to play around with and hoping to get this to work! Our network runs on the 192.168.0.XX range, so I have set the access point up accordingly to a static IP of 192.168.0.115 that doesn't conflict with any other Ip address on the system. The issue I'm having is I'm able to ping the access point and access it's Web GUI but once I plug it into the network i.e. into the Ethernet switch, I'm no longer able to access it or ping it, like it just goes dead. Also I'm a tad unsure what to set the default gateway too?
The objective is just to plug into the network so can access wirelessly rather than using a cable around the office. If needs must also take direct to a piece of equipment and plug in there also (on the same network).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
