Re: [wireless] WRT54G cannot access setup page
When you change the IP address of the WRT it really isn't freezing. you are changing it to a subnet that is not on the PC that it is connected to. So you need to reboot the PC. If you have also disabled the DHCP server in the WRT then you will need to assign a static IP to the PC in the same range for it to connect to the WRT.
From the link I posted.
Now once you change the routers IP address you will loose the connection to the wireless router, that's OK. Type in the new IP address of the router in the address bar of IE. This will bring you back to the routers setup pages. Find the section that controls the DHCP server and disable it. You are now done changing all the setting on the wireless router.

| I finally got it going. After I changed and saved the WRT's new IP address, I disconnected the laptop I used to set it up (ignoring any error messages). I then rebooted the WRT and after that the wired router. I then was able to connect to the WRT's new IP addy from another computer connected to the wired router. I did this without having to reset the WRT. Guess I didn't realize that I had to do so many reboots for the configurations to take. It was a bit of a dance, but it worked.
