If you’re anything like me, when it comes to installing a new network device, you always toss the installation CD in the trash can knowing that it can only be a Bad Thing for anyone but the illiterate. I bought a Linksys WAP54g yesterday and was surprised to see that they no longer bother to supply a “quick start guide”, or any printed guide for that matter. I could really care less, except I need to know the default IP of the device.

After some fiddling I determined that the default IP was 192.168.1.245 and I was running in no time. I thought to document it here to save others the pain of connecting and performing ping scans to determine what IP to connect with.
