WORKING: Dlink DAP-1150?? IMPOSSIBLE

[LoknathT]

I had purchased a d-link AP to make use of as a client to attach my system to my home wireless network. Straightforward installation, simple setup. I cannot even have right of entry the damn things interior setup. In AP mode vista is reporting a mysterious network, in client and repeater mode I get the similar additional than by means of arrangement tribulations (so theoretically not associated) Typing in dlinkap as stated does nothing. I immediately read the complete users manual and not merely did it not restrain no matter which to help me by means of my situation at the entire, it is in addition tremendously terrible and almost certainly helpless to someone. What do I do at present. I am not a networking person, additional than I was convinced I would be familiar with sufficient to attach this so called simple apparatus.

You are trying to attach to an accessible wireless network, or generate an innovative one. Try to attach to the home network is not a tribulations (not yet anyways). You might cannot even have right of entry to the AP/repeater/client to set it up. That the tribulations I would encompass consideration you would immediately position a PCI wireless card into your PC and utilize it to attach to the existing wireless network. I cannot observe what role the innovative to have right of entry point would play in the entire of this. I maintain telling myself that and I be able to attach it easily by means of the spare pci wireless card I contain here, other than I required to try set it up so as to utilize the onboard lan so I be able to make use of the express gate software.

Whilst using an AP to attach (or bridge) to an obtainable wireless network be able to run. The supplementary AP must frequently be the similar brand of AP or router. They must in addition have the similar ssids, and sanctuary settings. On the other hand this does not explain why you cannot have right of entry to the AP's config page. Create certain if you are merely connecting the system to the AP by cable that it’s a irritated in excess of cable, and that you assign a manual IP address to the system in the similar range as the AP e.g. 192.168.0.90.

The entire the network gear is Dlink, I would set the similar ssid etc if I might administer to attach. I might give the physical IP a try and observe how I go. Immediately going to locate out what my IP was previous to and in addition learn regarding setting them up physically. I purchase one of these routers the recent past and spent a small number of hours today trying to get the thing running in client mode. Switch it to AP mode and then plug it into a router by means of DHCP and it determine to grab an IP address. Then attach to it via wireless (as the Ethernet is the outbound interface) and find the way to its DHCP IP (it appeared in my arp register).

It seems that if it cannot contact a DHCP server it determines to acquire the IP 192.168.0.50. Try that as well (additional than you tranquil necessitate being associated wirelessly). Flick the switch in excess of to client mode and login to the interface the entire in excess of again. Setup the wireless network and hypothetically it be supposed to be okay. I might not get it to work using WPA (it said it was associated additional than my apparatus might not observe the router at the additional end) other than WEP worked. I had the similar tribulations by means of a Linksys Ethernet Bridge.

I did not encompass to setup several static IP address, on one occasion it was assigned the IP, and was observable from my router I basically used that to attach to the setup interface and comprehensive the client mode settings. Its running at present as I am typing this from a laptop that is plugged unswervingly into the AP (in client mode) Thank you for the entire the advice, its much esteemed. Would in addition similar to add that even though the hardware is at present doing what it is meant to be doing, it was not worth the endeavor or hassles. I imagine dlink necessitate a superior kick in the arise.

I immediately acquire this today and apparently I am having the similar tribulations as Smashcrab. I encompass the DAP-1150 associated to my netbook (so I be able to organize it) via Ethernet port and the Ethernet cable make available by Dlink. Does not work. I read in the on top of that a "crossover cable" is necessary and yes I originate a cable in my drawer and it was red which is a crossover Ethernet cable. This is where I am so far and I am certain everybody else be supposed to of got it running by at present, additional than this is where I am. So I am going to try organizing it at present.
