Yes, of course I'm using MAC filters, but as I thought I mentioned before, I've already put the unit's MAC address in the router's Allow list, so that shouldn't be the problem.  Though, I haven't tried turning off the MAC filter to test, but like I said, why does every other wireless device I have work fine, except this?  Any other suggestions?  Thanks again!

I'm thinking about purchasing a DAP-1522. I have a DI-624 wireless router. I'm going to use this for my Panasonic blue ray player in another room. How easy is the setup to do this? Is it automatic? Thanks!

You're trying to do almost the exact same thing I'm trying to do and I've had absolutely no luck yet.  So, if you get it working, let me know what you did!  :)

Ok so here's how I believe you have your network setup, please correct me if I'm wrong.

DAP-1522
- IP: 192.168.1.50
- subnet: 255.255.255.0
- gateway: 192.168.0.1
- Bridged wirelessly to your router
- Connected to SSID of router

Netgear router
- IP: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1?? <--Please verify what the IP address of you router is. Your previous post in this thread says it's on a 192.168.1.X network unless you've changed this.
       *To my understanding netgear by default is sitting at 192.168.0.1 please confirm


Are all your clients pulling ip's from your dhcp server or did you statically assign them?
If you connect a PC hard wired to the DAP-1522 can you ping the router?

You are correct except for gateway (my wireless router) IP is 192.168.1.1 (not ...0.1).  It's not a Netgear router, it's the Belkin N+ wireless router.  And yes, most of my clients (except for my printer and one other device) are all DHCP and none are statically assigned (or dynamically assigned) to 192.168.1.50.  And the only way I can do anything is if my PC is directly connected to the DAP, and I can't ping or connect to anything on my network or get an internet connection from there.  Hence it's not connecting to my router (at least that's what it seems to be doing).  The only option I may try is enabling 'guest access' on my router and configure it with something much easier than standard WPA2/WPA encryption and see if that changes anything on the DAP.  If it CAN connect via that way, but not the regular route, then at least it's something and narrows it down a little.  If you have any further suggestions, please let me know.  Thanks again!! :D

If your wireless router is set to 5Ghz, the DAP-1522 will not connect to it with WPS.  I couldn't set it up manually either.

I ended up setting both my wireless router and DAP-1522 to 2.4Ghz, put the devices next to each other (not connected by a Cat5 cable) and clicked the WPS button on the DAP-1522. Presto.

Went back into the setup of both devices, switched both back to 5Ghz and they're still working fine.

My router is only 2.4Ghz, no 5Ghz, and if I remember correctly, not only did I try this already, but in the Setup, it wont allow me to change it to either 2.4 or 5, it defaults it to either/or (Auto maybe?) and is grayed-out.  This is the same for most of the wireless settings when I set it up manually, except for the SSID, pass key and a couple of other things.  I've done the WPS button and tried the Site Survey (it sees my router fine and I select it and hit Connect, though it doesn't seem to change much) and things still don't work.

I've lost all hope in making it work, so I had to turn to my last ditch effort which is using my Ethernet over Power jacks to get the data via wired to the DAP-1522, and then connect the rest of my devices to it.  Thus it's basically just a switch now.  I hate using Ethernet over Power so I hope to fix this later on, but I've spent way too many hours as of now to keep trying.  :(
