Hello!
I have two belkin wireless routers at my home network, one is as a router and the other one is as an access pointer. I can use either connection to get online, there is no problem at all. The only problem is I forgot what's the IP address I assigned to the access point, I want to find that out.
I tried to type "ipconfig /all" when I'm connecting with the access point, it only shows me about Default Gateway, which is IP for the router. I saw no information about the AP. I also tried to use IP scanner software to scan my IP range, 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.254, it only returns my router and my system are alive, it seems the AP has been set not to response ping. :(
Is this anyway I can find IP address for my AP? Thank you very much.

Run your ping scanner again. The run the command "arp -g" on the machine you ran it on. you should see the IP and MAC address of the AP, if it even has an address. an AP doesn't need an address to function.

Hi, spidey07. Thank you very much. I tried but I still didn't see anything about my AP. :(
The IP scanner program I used is Advanced IP Scanner and Here is what I got from arp -g:
Interface: 192.168.10.101 --- 0x3
Internet Address Physical Address Type
192.168.10.1 00-11-50-0a-46-00 dynamic
There is still only information about my router, I checked the MAC address is my router's MAC address. I don't see anything about my AP. BTW, I'm connecting to the network with the AP now, not with router.
Could you let me know if there is anything else I can try? Thank you very much.

Connect via a wired connection and try again. Some APs won't allow any communication to the AP from wireless clients (not even arp) for security.

Thank you very much spidey07 and JackMDS.
I tried wired connection but it still not working. I reseted the router and reconfigured the AP. Thank you very much.

what wireless client are you running. Many offer that ability (to see IP of associated AP)

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I actually want to get into the home Belkin AP "administrationn page" so as to put a password.

But I can't know the ip of the belkin AP. I ave run an ip scan but it does not help me.

Please help
Merci
