CC vector wifi antenna

Glad it worked.. I've been doing Wi-Fi with assorted hardware for a long time. Some of the ways it can screw up will drive you batty and then some.

I use both static and dynamic addressing and a home made wi-fi repeater (Umbiquiti Nano Station outdoor and a pain in the arse Belkin indoors)

I have multiple computers (ReplyTV dvr. Windows Chrome books and two (realy 3 but one is still in the box) Raspgerry Pi's running ham radio software so I am learning ALL the shortcuts to success.

Glad that one worked for you.

One thing.. Many places you log onto a public router and they may not even change the SSID (LInksys is a common one) I've accessed more than one config page on such a router.

That worked!! Thank you !!

I bookmarked that page (as the instructions tell you to do) when it came up so I should be able to access it anytime.

Yay!

I was considering hacking the registry but can't seem to do that on a chromebook. Support is closed for the weekend.

If power cycle means 'turn it off' that's what I did.

The config screen actually did come up once yesterday.. I have no idea what I did.

You may need to do a power cycle.
Soemtime I've found devices like that, when they connect to a Wi-FI Access point or router will change their LAN SIDE address and you need to power cycel them

some of these repeater systems change ip addresses once they connect to a access point.
there should be a reset button to hold in a few seconds to reset it.
one of the ones i have has a tool to download to find the ip address it changed to.

It will show the screen even if no wifi is available. It's turned back. I tested this at home, did pretty much the same thing and didn't have this problem. I'll probably have to call CC in the morning.

Hmm.. I'm using a Chromebook. At home I used an HP laptop. I wonder if the CB is different.. needs some config setup. I did clear Chrome's cache.

it's a directional antenna. maybe it's not detecting any wifi stations in that direction? have you turned it back in the original direction?
