Title: DGL-4500 as access point and wireless
Post by: bearman on January 05, 2010, 05:42:13 AM

I setup my 4500 192.168.1.2 as an access point connected to a dgl-4100 192.168.1.1 on the LAN.  I turned off dhcp on my 4500 and enabled dhcp on my 4100.  When I wire my laptop into my 4500 with static IP, everything works. (internet and Lan sharing).  But when I wirelessly connect it to the 4500,  I cannot get the internet, cannot ping 192.168.1.1 but I am able to ping 192.168.1.2.  Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?

Made sure the DHCP range of the primary router does NOT include the lan ip address of the access point router.  DHCP in the access point router should be disabled, and the lan cable from the primary router should be plugged into the 4 port switch (NOT the WAN port) on the access point router.

For example, my primary router has a lan ip of 192.168.0.1 with a DHCP range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 and the access point router has a lan ip of 192.168.0.52.  Works great.
