    The computers at my home are hooked up via ethernet cable to an Airlink AR504 router. I have a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) hooked up to this router, for my laptop.

    I'm trying to access the Linksys settings, but whenever I type 192,168,1,1 I get the Airlink router's settings. Their gateway IPs are the same. How do I access the Linksys settings? I was able to do this before.. Not sure why it changed.



    (I'm trying to access the Linksys wireless, so I can get my Wii to use it. It suggests changing the 'channel' to 1 or 11 for it to work. The Airlink doesn't even have a page for changing channels, if I were to use that.)

    how is your linksys router connected to the airlink router is it by LAN to LAN or LAN port of the airlink to internet port of the linksys there is a possibility that the linksys router has a static ip set on it or there is a possibility that linksys router is getting an ip address address from the airlink router now in order to access the linksys router we need to determine the ip address set on linksys router or the ip address its getting from the airlink router.

    it's LAN to LAN.

    i went into the airlink settings, i saw a 'DHCP clients list'
    it says:
    192.168.1.100 Wii
    192.168.1.101 OFFICE
    192.168.1.102 laptop

    ok i got now its connected LAN to LAN therefore you did set a static ip address on the linksys, now to access the linksys you need to determine that ip address. Try to remember that ip address you set if you cannot remember try to check on the airlink router if there is an option to see all the attach devices connected on the airlink router and hopefully you could see, but if you cannot see it or remember that ip address the last option is to reset the linksys router and reconfigure it again as access point.

    easiest way to get the ip address of your routers is to open the command prompt and type tracert google.com
    the first 2 hops (ip adresses) will be your 2 routers
