    Hi!
    *I had a problem with my A-Link wireless RR24 router that it would have limited simultanious connections. So I went into router settings and applied som chaged, it fixed the problem but now I cant access options anymore by the default address (10.0.0.2). It must have changed but help me figurre out to which one.

    Ouch... I did this once too, the only way I could fix it was to hit the reset button on the bottom... not sure if this is the only way to solve this though...

    First don't use a wireless to config a wrouter. Most every time it will drop your connection during a save. Use Wired Connections.

    Verify you did not change your subnet. Run ipconfig from a cmd window. Will give your current settings. Then:

    ipconfig /release all
    ipconfig /renew all
    ipconfig

    Check your IP and Gateway IP. then try access your router again.

    If you can not access, power cycle and try again. If not RESET back to factory as mentioned by Matt. Alot of times it's your only option.
