Hello all
I'm banging my head on this one. I naively thought this would be simple.
My home plug stopped working so to provide wifi and Ethernet upstairs I stumped up for a Draytek VigorAP 810 access point.
I've tried setting it up as per the instructions and have all the cables connected correctly but I just can't access the admin web page using the IP 192.168.1.2
My virgin router is on the default 192.168.0.1 and everything else on my network including my iMac is subsequent IP's.
The instructions state "make sure the computers subnet IP address is the same as the VigorAP 810 management IP, eg 192.168.1.X"
So, I've changed my IMac IP address manually to 192.168.1.19 but I still can't access the admin pages as instructed. I get the message "safari can't connect to the server"
Also changing my iMac IP address is going to mess with other things on my network and I'm not savvy enough to know what the changes will affect.
Can anyone offer me some help please?
As you've guessed I'm not too knowledgeable about computers or networks and after an hour of googling I can't find any help.
