Customer setup:

Internet connection to DI-524.
Two wired computers and 3 wireless laptops connecting to the 524.
Customer purchased a multifunction copier *without* a built-in wireless interface.
Customer wants wireless connection to the copier.
Copier vendor says the only way is to connect a wireless AP to the copier's ethernet connection.

Set up the DAP-1522 using a direct connection to a PC. DAP-1522 set to Bridge.
Status on the DAP-1522 shows it connected to the wireless network with the correct SSID, channel, and security level.
Disconnect the DAP-1522 from the direct connection, and attach the DAP-1522 to the copier.
D-Link tech support told me the copier IP had to be set between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.99, and that printers had to be configured within that IP range for the DAP-1522 to work correctly. I set the copier IP to 192.168.0.99

Cannot make a connection to the copier.
Pings to the copier IP and the DAP-1522 IP time out.

Questions:
1)Is the DAP-1522 the correct equipment to connect these devices?
2)If not, what would be the correct hardware?
3)Have I missed something in configuring the DAP-1522?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

it should work if the computers trying to connect to the printer have the right software installed for that Ethernet capable printer

If the pings die, then no software will help...

Are you using a firewall on the pinging computer? If that firewall is (temporarily) disabled, is the ping still failing? Have you connected a PC to a LAN port on the DAP (while DAP is disconnected from DI-524 LAN) and work on the DAP-web-pages to see if it finds (site survey) the DI-524?
