Title: DIR-825 as AP, wireless clients can connect to internet, DIR-825 itself can't...
Post by: theboyk on July 11, 2016, 09:20:25 AM

Hey all,

Just wondering if there's any way to allow the DIR-825 to access the internet when it's only being used as a wireless AP? Wireless clients connect to the DIR-825 can connect to the internet, without issue, but the DIR-825 itself can't (can't ping IPv4 or IPv6 addresses from the DIR-825, can't connect to NTP servers, etc.).

Anyone know how I can get the DIR-825 online (mainly, just want to get a connection to an NTP server so the time is correct).

Thanks,
Kristin.

When running the following: Turning a router into an AP. (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=40856.0)

The WAN port is no longer used or needed in this configurations, so features like firewall, time, NAT, DHCP server, QoS, filters and WAN pings are not usable since they are dependent upon the WAN port connection.
