I try to access the Setup menu and get an error message after entering the URL 192.168.0.234. What can I do?
Do you get the message "Page cannot be found" when you enter 192.168.0.234 in the URL bar?
This may have to do with the fixed IP address of your range extender. Each device in your home network has a number, or an IP address. Thanks to the IP address devices can identify each other and communicate.
It may be that the fixed IP-address of the range extender does not fit within the range of your (modem) router. As a result you cannot log in the settings menu. To log in, we recommend that you temporarily set a different IP-address on the device that you use to access the settings menu.
To do this, follow these steps:
Note: After you are finished with the settings menu, you must undo the changes you are now going to make. Otherwise you cannot browse the internet.
1. Open the Network and Sharing Center on your computer. First go to the icon marked at the bottom right.
2. Left-click it once.
3. The following screen will then appear.
4. Click Open Network and Sharing Center (marked blue in the image above).
5. In the window that opens click Change adapter settings (marked blue in the image below).
6. Right-click Wireless Network Connection and then Properties (marked blue in the image below).
7. Now the following window opens. Check the list of components. Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) must always be ticked.
8. Internet Protocol version 4 must be ticked. If it is not, left-click it once.
9. Now click Properties.
10. Now the following window opens. For the WL-330 range extender Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically must both be ticked.
Is Obtain an IP address automatically ticked here? Then click Use the following IP address, and enter the following data:
IP Address: 192.168.0.200
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.234
5) Click OK.
Please note! If you are already using a static IP address (i.e. there is already something filled in), you should note that data somewhere, because you will need to restore it afterwards.
Now follow the steps below to access the settings menu of your range extender.
1. Open your browser.
Open your browser, such as Internet Explorer or Safari. Type the following IP address: 192.168.0.234.
2. The following pop-up screen appears.
It will ask for a Username and Password. The default value for both fields is admin. You can change this in the Settings menu. If you have changed them, obviously you must enter the new values.
Finally, click OK.
You are now on the home screen of the Settings menu on your WL-330 (see the screenshot below).
Note: after you have finished adjusting settings in the Settings menu you must undo the fixed IP address settings. Otherwise you cannot browse the internet. Change the IP settings back exactly as they were.
