I have some strange problem. If several clients with the same equipment, let’s say Planet WAP-4033, are connected to the same hotspot, when I try to get some of them using wire, for example at clients home, I actually get some random Planet connected to the same AP. When we connect new clients, we never change default IP address on Planet WAP-4033, it’s always the same, 192.168.0.1. When they are connected to the same AP (hotspot), there seems to be some IP conflict although we don’t use this IP range for our operations, just to setup client AP on the wired side at client’s homes. But I noticed if you try to connect by wire to some Planet WAP-4033 which is connected to the AP (associated), when you type 192.168.0.1 in your browser you actually can get any Planet WAP-4033 connected to the same AP. Even though wired Planet has the same IP address, for some reason it doesn’t answer, but it bypasses traffic to some other Planet, it seems randomly. And this is the same for multiple D-Links DWL-900AP+ on the sam access point, just different default IP address 192.168.0.50. I don’t want to isolate my clients, I want them to communicate, but how to resolve this problem? I don’t want to change IP addresses for each client device, it would be too difficult to care about addresses then. What is the best solution?
What we do now it to unscrew the antenna to cut wireless connection and then play with the clients device. Otherwise, you can setup some other clients device and maybe break his connection. On some devices it is possible to turn off management on the wireless side, but I didn’t see this option with Planet WAP-4033 and D-Link DWL-900AP+.
