Hi all - I posted this in the 1522 forum a few days ago with no response. I thought I would post it here (no 665 board yet?) to see if anyone can help.
TIA
I am having problems getting to the internet using a DIR-665 and DAP-1522 connected to desktop PC. I believe I have everything connected and configured properly, because it shows connected on the bridge status page, AND the desktop is getting an IP address from the router, BUT I cannot access the internet. I get the little exclamation point (windows 7) in the system tray icon.
DIR-665 settings – 5ghz, 20/40, channel 34, WPA2 with AES cipher
DAP-1522 – switch set to bridge mode – I used the wizard to connect manually to the 665, the only thing I had to manually choose was the correct SSID and input the passphrase. I also had to input the default gateway on the setup page as it was blank. The 1522 has a fixed IP of 192.168.0.50 and is outside the route DHCP range so that should be fine.
I have tried powering on and off both routers, resetting the devices and ensuring the most current firmware, etc…
I just don’t understand this problem. It must be connected as the 665 sees the computer and assigns it an IP address within the DHCP range. But it will not connect me to the internet. Before anyone asks, I have another desktop attached to the 665 with no connection problems at all.
FWIW – I cannot ping either the 665 or the 1522 from opposite ends if that makes sense. So the DAP-1522 connected PC cannot log into the 192.168.0.1 DIR-665 router or vice versa.
Questions –
1. If is shows connected on the bridge status page with full info, channel, SSID, etc.. is it safe to assume it is truly connect or could this be false information.
2. Should the 1522 Bridge static IP address show up in the LAN table or the WIFI client table or neither?
3. The desktop shows up in the LAN table – I believe… is that correct?
Thanks in advance to any/all help.
