How to access a local IP address outside the range?

Hello,
I detect an IP address on Wifiman desktop, I know what it corresponds to but I cannot access it. The address is 192.168.1.20 while my range of local IP addresses is from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.200. How can I access this IP address?

In fact, not exactly. If you want to access an IP that is not in your subnet (so in your case not in the range 192.168.0.0/24 - that is, between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254), you will have to go through a router. The question I have is: how do you detect this IP? Do you have access to the equipment that carries it? If your need is to have this equipment on your local network, you need to give it an IP in the right range.
However, be careful. The range you are talking about (192.168.0.2 to 200) is your DHCP range, the one in which IPs are automatically assigned. If your equipment needs to have a static IP (a camera or a printer for example, it's better to have a static one), you should choose this IP outside of the DHCP range but within your subnet, so an IP between 192.168.0.201 and 192.168.0.254.

Hello,
If it's a router that manages the IP by connecting to this router. By changing the address range of the box if the concerned device has a static IP.
Hello,
as the flat-tailed rodent said, if you detect this address, it's because you're accessing it via a router, or you're doing an arp-scan on a range larger than your IP network, 192.168.0.0/22 for example, and this machine is poorly configured.
I don't know this wifiman, we would need to see how it scans, whether it's via ARP or ping, knowing that you can prevent a machine from responding to ping, but not to ARP.
However, ARP only works within the local network, not crossing routers, while ping does cross routers.
Edith:
wifiman is this Ubiquiti app then?
Either you reconfigure this IP address to put it in your network, or you add a router, but then you'll need to add a static route to access 1.20
And there you go, there it is ....
But misery, how annoying the line spacing is !!
Okay, so your goal is to connect to your Wi-Fi AP in order to configure it.
So you need to change the IP address of your phone, tablet, or computer to have an IP in 192.168.1.xxx.
Then you will be able to access it. Your Unifi access point and your device also need to be physically on the same network. Generally, the simplest way to do this is to connect the access point directly to the wired network card of a laptop.
Thanks? Unfortunately, the access point is in the attic and my laptop doesn't have an RJ45 port, like most laptops nowadays.
I'm not going to be able to change my computer's IP address to 192.168.1.xx because this address is not within the allowed range.
Should I change the IP address of my Freebox to be able to change the range?
The access point of the bridge is not external?
That's surprising.
In factory configuration, doesn't it have a default SSID and a DHCP server?
Otherwise, when we have one (or more) ultraportable computers today, it’s a good idea to also have a USB 3 or USB-C to gigabit or 2.5G RJ45 adapter; it’s always useful, as proven.
With my first ultrabook, that’s the first thing I bought.
No, but outdoors, I mean outdoor, it's (much) better for a Wi-Fi bridge.
The UniFi controller can be installed on any PC in principle, there's not necessarily a need for an app.
It seems to still exist despite the apps.
Oh, OK, so it's a wifi bridge then?
If you want to reconfigure the upstream AP (the one connected to the box), if I understood correctly, it's the one that reverted to factory settings, you just need to reconfigure a PC with a static IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 network, for example 192.168.1.200, and you'll be able to reconnect to your AP to reconfigure it in the box's network.
Did you do it like that the first time?
If you're trying to do it from the app, it depends on how it works; either the initial setup is done via Bluetooth, in which case you need to bring your mobile close to the AP to access it via BT, or it's done via WiFi, in which case you need to connect your mobile to the AP's WiFi network, which should have an address assigned by DHCP in the 192.168.1.0/24 network.
Or, as Castor mentioned, reconfigure a static IP on the mobile, like 192.168.1.200.
And there you go, there it is....
But oh dear, those line breaks are such a pain!!
Thank you for all your help. Indeed, I may have needed to do it this way the first time, but that was at least 6 or 7 years ago, I must admit I've forgotten a bit. If I change my computer's IP address to 192.168.1.200, how could I then return to its address of 192.168.0.144 if I’m no longer within the defined range seen by the Freebox?
I've finally been able to access my address 192.168.1.20. I actually used your method with my computer's new IP address at 192.168.1.144, the subnet prefix length set to 24, and no gateway or DNS. I was then able to modify my Wi-Fi bridge settings, changing it back to 192.168.0.20 so that it would be visible on my network.
Thank you so much for your help!
Hello, install this by taking the setup.exe:
go to the left to scan ip
and scan this ip.
post some configuration screenshots.
thanks
Here are more details:
I am using a Freebox Revolution as a router. The address 192.168.1.20 is a Wi-Fi antenna that is wired to the box and communicates (normally) with a receiving Wi-Fi antenna 10 meters away. Two surveillance cameras are connected via cable to the output of this receiving antenna. I can’t see either the receiving antenna or the cameras on my network. I replaced the RJ45 cable that connected the antenna to the box yesterday because I could no longer see the transmitting antenna on my network. This cable was dead, and I think that the loss of connection must have reset the antenna's address to its factory version with the address 192.168.1.0, whereas it was previously set to 192.168.0.20 as static.
Therefore, I cannot change the IP address of the transmitting antenna because I cannot access it.
The distance is 100m, not 10m, sorry.
100m is the absolute limit for copper network
Forget the previous comment, it's WiFi, I misread.
