Can't find the IP address of my access point in my network

Question

HJi, here is my configuration:

I've a fritz router (the root ), and use a powerline to connect it to another room. To the second power point I've connected a Dlink g624t to create a wifi network in the new room. Everything works fine but I can't find the ip of the dlink to change the settings (I wanna create a password for the the wifi).

I've red other questions similar to this here and find this program ( Angry IP scanner ). I've tried but i can't find anything. It seems that the node (the dlink) doesn't exits! But it's connected and working!

Solution 1

Or you can simply scan your whole network to figure out what adresses are responding:

nmap -sP <your network>

Where you network is something like 192.168.1.0/24 or `192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0̀

Solution 2

If you know the IPs of all other devices on your network and are connected through the Dlink to get on the network you can use:

arp -a

This should give you a list of devices and IP addresses associated with them. You will need to run this command from a command prompt in windows or from the terminal in OSx/Linux

Look into the devices documentation. And read the help center.

Connect you pc directly to the fitz router and try again.

You must have connected to the D-link configuration screen to set it up as a bridge or access point (you haven't said which you're using): use the same method of connection to configure the wireless settings. If all else fails do a factory reset and configure wireless before changing operating mode.
