WRE6505 Access and Login

I don’t know the IP address of my WRE6505.

1

Click

Start > Run

, enter

cmd

, and then enter

Ping zyxelsetup

.

2

The default IP address is

192.168.1.2

.

Note: In Repeater mode, you can access the login screen by using the IP address

(192.168.1.2) or by typing “http://zyxelsetup” in your browser IP address bar.

While in AP mode, connect the WRE6505 to your router (configured under same

subnet) and type “http://zyxelsetup” in your browser IP address bar.

3

If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you might get the IP address of the WRE6505

by looking up the IP address of the default gateway for your computer. To do this in most Windows

computers, click

Start > Run

, enter

cmd

, and then enter

ipconfig

. The IP address of the

Default

Gateway

might be the IP address of the WRE6505 (it depends on the network), so enter this IP

address in your Internet browser. Login (see the Quick Start Guide for instructions) and go to the

Device Information

table in the

Status

screen. Your WRE6505’s IP address is available in the

Device Information

table.

•

If the

DHCP

setting under

LAN information

is

None

, your device has a fixed IP address.

•

If the

DHCP

setting under

LAN information

is

Client

, then your device receives an IP

address from a DHCP server on the network.

4

If your WRE6505 is a DHCP client, you can find your IP address from the DHCP server. This

information is only available from the DHCP server which allocates IP addresses on your network.

Find this information directly from the DHCP server or contact your system administrator for more

information.

5

Reset your WRE6505 to change all settings back to their default. This means your current settings

are lost. See

Section 12.4 on page 80

in the

Troubleshooting

for information on resetting your

WRE6505.

I forgot the username and password.

1

The default username is

admin

and default password is

1234

.

2

If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See

Section 11.6.3 on

page 70

.

I cannot see or access the

Login

screen in the Web Configurator.

1

Make sure you are using the correct IP address.
