DAP-1522 Will not reset!
« on: March 31, 2010, 06:37:36 PM »

Hi, thanks for reading and I appreciate the help. Last night I changed the DAP-1522's IP from 192.168.0.50 to 192.168.1.1 and the device never worked again! I could not access the browser menu at all with either IP under any mode (auto,bridge and AP).

I have tried pressing the reset button for 10 seconds while turned on, also tried it while turned off and even tried spamming the button while its on and none of them reset it to its default IP settings.

Did I miss something? Is there some other way to get it back to default settings that I am not aware of?

Also I have my DGL-4500 as the main router but for the time being I just need to find a way to see the browser menu.

Thanks in advance ^_^

If you reset/change the IP address of the DAP-1522 you will need to change the IP-address of your client computer to be in the same range. Also the 192.168.x.1 is mostly reserved for the base-router your AP/Bridge connects to. So you could have better changed it to 192.168.1.50...

After changing your DAP IP-address to another 'range' you need to change your client to be in the same group, i.e. 192.168.1.y (temporary until you can use the AP/Bridge to forward auto-assign your IP-address).

My suggestion is that you hard-code your LAN ip-address to something like 192.168.1.30, and try to access the 192.168.1.1 of the DAP. You will need to temporary shut down your 'real' WLAN router, so as to avoid confusion of the .1.1 address...

Make sure after you have set things right to change your LAN to the original auto-assign IP, if that was done previously.

problem is that even with my router offline (4500) I still can't connect to the DAP-1522 browser menu and yes I did try the IP address of the new settings. Regardless though the reset button should erase my IP settings but unfortunately it did not so im completely out of ideas.
