Re: Wireless bridge not allowing IP change

I had a similar problem while trying to change the bridge IP the other day. After trying several different things for several hours I got it working.

1st, for some reason, IE is the best way to go for trying to access the device via a browser, not 100% sure about firefox, but I do know that Chrome is out.

2nd, Make sure you have the bridge connected to your computer like the directions say, Computer connected to the DS, DS to the Router and Bridge to the router

3rd, this was our problem, if you change the address of the router before you change the address of the adaptor, you can no longer access that adapter with the 192.168.1.250, or at all seeing as the default for the router ends in 250, and the max you are supposed to set the router for is 50, because changed the gateway to 10.xx.yy.4, meaning all the IP address of devices connected to the router will start with 10.xx.yy and not 192.168.1 .

The adapter must be connected to the computer through a wireless router of some kind, so if this is what you did, find a wireless router that is still in its default configuration, go through the steps to change the IP of the adapter, and reconnect it to the Router from FIRST to make sure everything works.

Hope this helps
