Contacting netgear

Two years ago I successfully set up a netgear WG602 wireless access point
with a WinME computer and a netgear WG511 wireless pc card. I'm replacing
the winME computer with a new winXP computer and using the same pc card. I
want to configure the WG602. The manual tells me to type the access point
name (netgearxxxxxx) in the address line of my browser but then I get "The
page cannot be found" message.

Also, when I try to download an upgrade for the firmware at 192.168.0.227 I
get the same message.

Does anyone know how to get around this? I'm unable to connect from the pc
card to the access point, so I assume I must reconfigure.

Have you looked at page 22 in your users manual?

Thank you for your answer Sooner Al.

I verified that the IP addresses were in the same subnet and the subnet
masks were the same.

Still could not connect to configure or download.

I pushed the reset in the back of the WG602 and unplugged and replugged power.

Still no help.

Do you have anything else I can try?

Since I pushed reset I was able to establish a network with the default
values. Of course I still need to configure so as to have security. But I
still can't connect to netgear by typing the access point name.

Any help, please

Can you access the AP using its IP?

Have you cleared your browser temporary cache?

Some devices only allow you to configure them via a wired Ethernet port and
not over the wireless link. That is how I have my Buffalo WBR-G54
configured.

Thank you for the response, sooner al

I haven't been able to access the AP using its IP.

I rebooted the computer to clear the browser temporary casche.

I am trying to configure through the wired ethernet connection.

Still no luck.

I suggest you post to the Broadband Reports or Netgear.com support forums
for possible help...

I've looked at the Netgear forums and other people have the same problem and
have gotten no resolution. I found there is a firmware upgrade download to
fix a security problem, unauthorized people could configure your access
point. I downloaded the upgrade but could not install it because it required
access to 192.168.0.227. I wonder if the security fix denies access if you
don't have the upgrade, but you need access to install the upgrade!!!!!

What do you think?

=?Utf-8?B?QWxsZW4=?=

I have no idea since I don't use that router. Your best bet is to
post/lurk/etc on the Netgear forums...

Good luck...
