Q: Incorrect IP address in AirPort Extreme Base Station

I am using a Vista PC. I have been using the Airport Extreme  already. Recently I try to make some changes when it starts up. Accidently I pressed the wrong keys. when making changes,  and it ends  up  I can't connect to the selected wireless device anymore. As shown on the Airport Utility start up page, I find the last digit of the IP Address as shown there is incorrect, viz. 10.0.1.200.  This should be 10.0.1.1 or 10.0.2.  How can I made correct it? This is because it just keeps asking my password & when I enter it it just fails to connect. Someone please help me.

A:

At this point, I would suggest that you perform a "factory default" reset on your AirPort Extreme and set it up again. You should be able to access the Extreme with the AirPort Utility after doing this reset.

    You would change the IPv4 DHCP range on the Network > Network Options ... page in the AirPort Utility. By setting the range to: 10.0.1.2 to 200 (the default), the LAN-side base station address will become: 10.0.1.1

     

    Temporarily connect your PC directly to the base station via an Ethernet connection so that you can then access it with the AirPort Utility.

    Thanks for your response. But the problem, I don't know why I can't go to any of  the previously available menu. I can't go any where else except it keeps asking for my password. And it no longer works.

    May be I should add that  I am online via the DSL instead of using the AirPort Extreme router because of the error setting in the AirPort Extreme Home.

    I want to go back online using the AirPort Extreme router.
