Trying to install my first bridge out to the new detached garage and not having any luck with setup.

[axlrose]

Purchased two ENS202's to bridge from the house out to the new detached garage. I think I am following setup instructions, but when I try to get to 192.168.1.1 to give the bridge some directions on what to do, I can't connect. Any idea?

Thanks.

In many cases doing the initial configuration of equipment requires you to disconnect a pc from your network and plug the device directly into your PC. You likely will have to manually set a ip address on your pc. After this you can change the IP on the equipment to a IP that works in your network.

Using web browser to configure equipment is not as simple as it sounds sometime, I still tend to like stupid serial ports to do initial configurations but computers do not even come with those any more.

I disconnected the network cable from my PC and connected the new hardware instead, but no go with the 192. That's how I was trying to do it.

Not sure what to suggest. This is how all these type of devices are done. Check that you have properly configured you pc is all I can think that would be wrong.

I can connect to my router just fine still. Is there a list of other numbers to try? The number for my router is .0.1

The Bridge/AP should ONLY be powered via Ethernet cable connected to the included PoE Injector.

You should connect the cable to the PC's router. If your Computer is already on a network, ensure that you have set it to a Static IP Address on the interface.

Example: 192.168.1.10 and the Subnet Mask address as 255.255.255.0.

The above is an example. You may have a different address. What is the address you use to log into the router?

I'll give that a shot again. I tried connecting it to the router without luck. Maybe that will work if I try again.
