Alright here's the deal. My 1522 in bridge mode was being a bit spotty lately, dropping connections from my wireless while I know my signal was fine(laptop still connected). So I decided to upgrade the firmware and see if it helped.

I went to 192.168.0.50, and saved my configuration on my desktop. Then I upgraded the firmware, and waited for the page to refresh. It never did. I manually refresh the page, doesn't work. I can no longer access the configuration.

My internet still works on this PC, and its still spotty for the reasons I mentioned above(if you have any idea why its spotty I'm all ears, the signal is fine the bridge just loses its connection every now and again for a few minutes). No idea why I can't access a page. I went as far as to try to roll back the firmware update by reseting with the button on the back, but I STILL can't access the page.

How is it that I'm able to access the page to update firmware... and then never again even after I restore to factory settings with the reset?

try a different browser

Firefox and Internet Explorer yield the same results

Odd. How many units do you have that are doing this? Do you have any anti-virus suites on that machine? How about a different machine?

you may have to set a static ip on your computer if you are plugging is straight to it.

That's what I had to do.

Figured it out after an hour of messing with it.  lol

Tryed that motherfo, all it did was kill my internet connection  My ip is currently set to 192.168.0.151 via DHCP, so theres no reason that I can see why it wouldnt connect.

Lycan, just the one unit. Antivirus of course. I have tryed plugging in my laptop without any success.

I reread the manual online, and attempted to connect to http://dlinkap. This did not work either, im stumped.

Antivirus can block HTTP. Try it from a machine that DOESN'T have AV.

I'm experiencing the same problem.  In my case, the DAP-1522 is disconnected because of an Authentication failure.  Why it fails to authenticate is my problem.  The DAP-1522 will be working fine and then for no reason it will disconnect because it can't authenticate.  If I unplug the DAP-1522, it will reconnect just fine.  I haven't been able to determine any pattern as to when it fails but it happens enough that I can't trust using it as a bridge.  It's basically an expensive paper weight now.

I know it's a wireless authentication failure because it shows in the syslog.  I had my DAP-1522 set up as a bridge that was connected to a DIR-655 set up as just an access point which is connected to my router/firewall appliance.  I tried versions 1.02 and 1.10.  Both exhibit the same behavior.   For the record, my wireless network uses "WPA2 Only".

Of course it killed the internet connection, it was a static ip.  But try setting a static ip of 192.168.0.100  make sure your subnet is the standard one.  then try connecting to the bridge.

Unhook the bridge from the router  and run a cable directly from the computer to port1 of the bridge.

That should allow you back in.

once you get it configured again, switch back to a dynamic ip and then you should be set
