Hi, I recently started trying to set up a BelAir20E, and am having some trouble. The device is not marketed to consumers, and doesn't come with a printed manual, but the complete user guide is supposed to be available online. Unfortunately, the link to it is dead, and Ericsson, the new owner of BelAir Networks, hasn't responded to my request for support. I figured I could just run ipconfig, get the default gateway, and open a management page at that address, but it didn't work. Although I have web access (wired only) and I can see a default gateway listed, no management page opens when that address is typed into a browser. (The address is 50.151.6.1, and I tried with Firefox, Chrome and IE). It just spins for a few secs, then fails to resolve, and none of the other common addresses that would normally be the default get me there either. Even if I figure it out, I won't know the user name and password without the BelAir user guide. I was planning to try root/admin or root/admin123, but I have to get to the management page first. The routers spec sheets are on the web, but I Googled exhaustively for a user guide with no luck. Does anyone there have a PDF of the manual for this device, or know how to log into it, and what the default user name and password are? Thanks in advance, Jayne
P.S. I think this model is the same as the Motorola cw20E, if that helps. Couldn't find a manual for that one either, though.

In the "better late than never" category of resurrection posts, the manual can be found here:

The BelAir 20E can be accessed by logging onto the actual router (not the BelAir) (probably 192.168.1.1) listing the currently connected devices and finding out the assigned IP of the BelAir (e.g. 192.168.1.7) and then plugging that into your browsers address bar.
Then enter your admin credentials (default is root/admin123).
BelAir20E is not a router but an access point and I quote from PDF.
