Unable to ping external IPs when used as a wireless AP
« on: March 14, 2013, 08:52:36 AM »

Both my DIR-655 and DIR-815, when setup as wireless access points, are unable to ping external IP addresses and thus cannot contact the dlink ntp servers.  I've disabled UPnP, disabled DHCP, changed the LAN IP address to an available address on the network. The wireless works, devices are getting an IP from the network DHCP server and can surf the internet.  But the DLink router itself cannot ping any external IP addresses.

The NTP services are dependent upon connecting to the WAN port, not the LAN ports. So in AP mode, this won't work, however if you temporarily connect a LAN cable from the main host router to the WAN Port on the AP while in AP mode, reboot the AP, it should acquire the NTP services. Once its done that you can disconnect the WAN cable.

FYI: Bridge Mode vs Relay vs Acess Point (AP) / Routers vs Dedicated Acess Points (AP)
