cant detect access point

[mr_newbie]

in Belkin AP Manager, it says "Scanning AP" but does not detect the AP device once the scan is complete.
I can however connect to the AP manually by choosing "Connect AP" and entering the IP Address. So why wont it detect the AP automatically?

My laptop cant detect the AP either so i am unable to network it.

Note: i have tried resetting the device, and updating firmware. The AP model is Belkin F5D6130

Thanks

Are you hiding the SSID? If so then it won't show up unless you have manually configured your wireless client to know what it is.
