thats how I've got it setup right now, it should work right ?

my problem is that I cant gain acess to the AP VIA its ethernet port "dont have a serial cable". but with my modem plugged into the hub it will assign IPs like a router would, so how can i get into this ap ? I have no clue what its IP is, hopefully osmeone can help. thanks guys

alright.. um.. to try and get onto the router u need to be directly connnected .. or be able to get into the wireless more then likly the ip is in the area of 192.168.1.1 192.168.254.1
but that might take a while... um.. linksys are running 1.1 and belkins run 2.1 so try somthing around that line but from there i know nothing about spectrum AP's so i appoligise for not ebing able to help :)

Thanks,
I hope u get it :)

I know this is an elementary question, but there is no harm in covering the basics.

Have you checked the documentation of the AP?

I am wondering what the point of having the hub is. Are you connecting other devices into the hub? If not, then it is serving no purpose.

[.dc]

yes i am connecting other devices int othe hub, ive also checked the ap documentation "first thing i did" they say how to use the web based "any based UI as a matter of fact to goto its ip (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)" haha so it was no help, i emailed symbol and hopefully they can help im sure they can :)

Hello .dc,

Not only is the HUB serving not purpose in this configuration, I think it's in fact a hinderance. No, it will not pass IP Addresses like a router would; it's just a dumb almost useless device especially with the price of routers these days.

Unless you're having multiple IP Addresses from your ISP; a hub will only pass the unique IP/Address given to you by the ISP, making it useless; since you can connect no other devices; based on the diagram posted.

To the issue at hand you might want to try an IP within your network on the AP which must be directly connected to your modem; eg: 24.xxx.xxx.x or Symbol's (157.235.100.1).

if you haven't got access to the AP, could it be that you need a crossover cable when accessing the device from a computer directly? to find the ip of the device, i'd say check the documentation, but I guess you did that, so try googleing it. Remember that your computer should be on the same subnet to connect to the AP. (ie. if the AP's ip is 192.168.0.1 you will also have to 192.168.0.x if you aren't you wont be able to connect, so you will have to hard code in an ip that is of the same subnet [which is the 0 in this case]).

Hope you get it figured out.

did you even take a look at the picture i posted ? anyways the modem has NAT "nework address translation, what that is... well if i need to tell you then you shouldnt be posting in the thread haha', anyway with me have that HUb connect to the modem they both act as an 8 port router.

yup ive got a crossover cable here as well so thats not the problem, its not like normal AP so its IP isnt 192.168.X.X

I know what NAT is, but why is that topic being raised in this thread?

[bullox]

if your aim is to log in to the config page for the AP, you might be able to find its IP by logging into the modem and (if possible) check a DHCP clients list, it might tell you what addresses it has assigned and to which object (likely by MAC).

good luck.

[cyrusuncc]

well assuming the modem assigns the ip addresses, then check to see what the ip address of your computer is, say 192.168.1.100.

Run a port scanner on the 192.168.1.0-254 range and it should find the access point.. that is if the access point is setup to recieve a dhcp assigned address.
