| MR814v3 & WGR614v4 - disable smart wizzard
I've got multiple Netgear AP's including the two models listed above that I've just pulled new from their boxes.
What I want to do is configure them without connecting them to the internet. Thus far I'm unable to shutdown the "Smart Wizard" feature.
I've downloaded the instructions from the Netgear site (doesn't say which models it applys to) and still no luck.
Even after changing the ADMIN password, can't get to a point where I'm able to open a browse, put in the IP adress of the AP and pull up an ADMIN login screen.
Any help?
Here's what Netgear has posted:
Most router owners prefer the SmartWizard. Not to mention, it's continually being improved to be more useful for special sitautions.
However, there are cases you want to bypass it:
• When it puts you in a loop where you can't reach Basic Settings.
• If you are an advanced user who needs custom settings.
• Your network is not connected to the Internet.
To Avoid the SmartWizard
Unplug the router power cord.
Turn off the computer.
Plug in the router to power.
Attach the computer to one of the router's LAN ports.
Turn on the computer, but do not open a browser.
Go to Start > Run, and type »www.routerlogin.com/basicsetting.htm. The browser opens and goes straight the the router's Basic Configuration page. (If the Basic Configuration page does not appear, repeat instructions from Step 1.)
Important: Click Apply, even if you don't make changes. Otherwise:
• The wireless features are not enabled.
• The settings are not saved.
• The SmartWizard runs next the next time you open a browser. |
