Title: Upnp on Dap 1522 possible?
Post by: dyvurcz on January 06, 2009, 11:47:10 AM: Hello, I have a Dgl 4500 router in my basement level of the house. I ran a ethernet cable up to the main level to connect a Dap 1522 just to ensure the other two levels get adequate signal as well. The problem i'm having is with a ps3. For some reason everything on the uppper levels can connect to the Dap but the ps3. For some reason theres is no upnp for the Dap. The ps3 connects to the Dgl no problem it just has a really weak signal. Any ideas on how to enable upnp on Dap? or is it even possible? Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have the dap-1522 set to auto on the back? Is the dap-1522 in ap or bridge mode when you log into it?

Post by: dyvurcz on January 06, 2009, 06:23:53 PM: the ps3 will see it no prob it just fails the connection test when it trys to obtain the ip address. I'm pretty sure it's set to auto on the back.

Title: Re: Upnp on Dap 1522 possible?
Post by: dyvurcz on January 07, 2009, 07:02:54 AM: yeah absolutely the correct key. I've got a number of devices hooked to it with the same key. I have no idea why it's not working and no one has been able to figure it out yet :'(

Post by: anon on January 07, 2009, 07:19:51 AM: Try to connect with all the security off.

Post by: dyvurcz on January 07, 2009, 07:50:03 AM: ok so I disabled the security and it worked first shot! Why do you suppose this is?
Title: Re: Upnp on Dap 1522 possible?
Post by: anon on January 07, 2009, 08:27:05 AM: Might have to do with the type of security mode you're using. I know I ask before, but make sure the key being used is correct...go slow if you have to when typing it in just to be sure.
Title: Re: Upnp on Dap 1522 possible?
Post by: dyvurcz on January 07, 2009, 08:41:23 AM: yeah I tried the key over and over again to make certain. I'm using wpa personal on the dap and the dgl. It connects to the dgl no prob with the same security to i'm a bit confused

We had a problem with the settop box and the 1522, cause the 1522 will Mask the DHCP servers MAC address on the LAN with it's own. Almost acting as a proxy for the LAN side DHCP. AT&T had issues with this, as the box's would fail to pull DHCP.

I'l have to test it.

Post by: Lycan on January 07, 2009, 09:34:21 AM: Actually we just tested it, and it worked wonderfully. So the problem is with your router or the setup.

anything specific I need to have it set to for the ps3 to work? it sees it and has 100% signal but fails the ip everytime! Not sure what I'm doing wrong

Post by: arod on January 08, 2009, 01:36:45 PM: I take it since you mentioned 100% signal you're trying to connect wireless.. Do you suffer the same issue connecting hard wired?
