I have my DAP-1522 in wireless bridge mode, connected wirelessly to my DIR-825. They are connected on the 5ghz frequency, in Wireless N only mode. They both work just fine, until I unplug the power from the DAP-1522. When I plug it back in, the DAP-1522 will NOT reconnect unless I do one of the following:
1) Connect directly to the DAP-1522 via ethernet cable from a laptop/desktop and go into the settings page via a browser. I don't even have to reconfigure anything, as soon as I punch in my password, the DAP-1522 magically re-establishes the wireless connection to the DIR-825
2) Connect directly to the DAP-1522 via eithernet cable from a laptop/desktop that already has a connection to the DIR-825, either wired or wireless. As soon as an "already connected" device plugs into the DAP-1522, it magically re-establishes it's connection.
There may be other weird ways to reconnect, but as far as I can tell, just pushing the WPS buttons on either/both devices doesn't work. As far as I'm concerned, that shouldn't even be required. Both devices already have their respective wireless settings in place, shouldn't the DAP-1522 just reconnect when power is restored? Is there a setting I don't know about on the DAP-1522 that controls this?
A few more bits of info... I've updated the DAP-1522 to firmware 1.20, but the SSID's weren't hidden before that anyway, both the 2.4 and 5ghz SSID's were set to "Visible" on the DIR-825.
Any help is much appreciated. I don't know what else to put in here, just ask me if there's more info needed.
