Title: Woes using DAP-1522 as a bridge with WNDR3700 Router
Post by: snpperhd on May 20, 2011, 09:54:07 PM

I've been playing with this setup for over a month with no real success.  I'm trying to use the DAP-1522 as a wireless bridge to provide connectivity to my entertainment center which consist of a PS3, Directv DVR and Internet ready TV.  I tried the setup as described in the manual, but not getting to the internet.  Initially I was able to connect the 1522 as a bridge, but the connection kept dropping, especially anytime I actually used the internet (downloading a VOD movie).  While troubleshooting the dropping issue, I changed all the 1522 settings and now it cannot access the internet at all through.  The WNDR3700 is routing my home network fine...it is setup on the 192.168.1.x address space.  I understand the 1522 came setup for 192.168.0.x, is the 192.168.1.x/192.168.0.x thing jacking things up?  I initially had the 1522 setup with the 192.168.1.x IP from my home network and the gateway set to my WNDR3700 (192.168.1.1)...should it be on the 192.168.0.x?  I have updated the firmware to 1.31. 
I'd like to start from scratch, so any guidance at this time would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I am now able to connect but still getting drops.  I have since disabled 'Wireless MAC Cloning' which was enabled by default.  We will see.  Thanks for replying.
