Need help configuring Zonet ZSR4174WE

[dc4517]

Hi everyone,

I just bought Zonet's ZSR4174WE when it went on sale at Newegg as I wanted small travel unit for hotels that have just wired broadband. You can find more about it at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0000231_88.pdf.

For now, I'm trying to use it at home and I'm having difficulty configuring the AP mode. I can connect to it wirelessly. I can access the web management interface. I can make some changes and they'll stick. But the complete configuration of AP mode requires a reboot, and that's not kicking in. I'm wondering whether it's because I'm configuring it wirelessly as I know you should do that with some routers and it's best to do it hardwired.

Any suggestions? Does anyone have experience with this unit?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I just figured it out. It was indeed the fact that I was trying to change the configuration over wireless. I used a spare D-Link router that I had, configured it so that it had an IP address of 192.168.2.2 (Zonet is pre-configured as 192.168.2.1) and a dynamic IP address range of 192.168.2.100-254. I then connected the Zonet unit and a laptop into the LAN ports on the D-Link and then accessed the Zonet unit. From there onwards, it was smooth sailing.
