Well I am not John, however, if you connect the desktop or laptop to the
AP with an ethernet cable and set the PC or laptop to a static IP in the
range of 192.168.0.x, being sure not to use .50 since the access point
uses this. Set the subnet mask for 255.255.255.0 and the default gate
way to 192.168.0.50., then you should be able to get into the WEB server
of the access point. You may have to change the access point LAN IP to
match your network if is fixed static at 192.168.0.50 out of the box.
From a working PC on the network go to a command prompt and run the
following command ipconfig/all, note your IP address, subnet mask,
Gateway and DNS for further use. I your IP address listed in the
IPConfig is something like 192.168.1.10 then you will need to change the
AP LAN IP to 192.168.1.50 instead of the default 192.168.0.50.
Hope this helps,
Danny
