I have setup a few access points to work with Verizon's actiontec router.  But this Dlink AC3200 doesn't make it easy.  Can anyone point me to the correct settings. Thx

Is the ISP ONT bridged?
Checj ur lan cables. Use cat6,

I had an asus ac66u connected to my fios router as an AP and didn't change the fios router to anything else.  What needs to be don't to bridge it?  I have the dlink connected lan to lan on fios router.

Do you still want to use the 890L as an AP only or as a main host router?
If you want main host router, then you'll need to have your ISP bridge the ONT service and connect the WAN port on the 890L to the ISP ONT.
If you want the 890L just as an AP, then you'll need to set AP mode on the 890L, then connect LAN to LAN to the ISP ONT. Then look on the ONTs DHCP IP address table list for the IP address it gives the 890L to access it's UI while in AP mode.

Yes I would like to keep it as an AP.  Where is the setting for AP mode?

[FurryNutz]

On the Internet page. There is a drop down menu for DCHP then AP mode. Select AP mode. Soon after you select AP mode and save settings, have the LAN cable connected to the ONT. Then after the reboot. Look on the ONT for a new IP address. That will be the address to access the 890Ls web page.

By Internet page you mean open my browser and login into router?

[FurryNutz]

Yes...

[Mkstretch]

Is it where it says, my internet connection is?

Is it where it says, my internet connection is?

[FurryNutz]

Yes.

Bridge mode will not be listed.

Is it where it says, my internet connection is?

[Mkstretch]

I'm not getting that option.

[FurryNutz]

What option do you see? Bridge or AP mode?
What region are you located?

[Mkstretch]

I see neither.  I do not have device mode option.  I am in New York

Could you take a screenshot or a picture of your screen?  What does it say in the top left corner of the screen? DIR-890L HW:  FW:

"I upgraded to firmware 1.02 then struggled for a couple hours to manually hack it into AP mode. It only had Router or wireless Bridge mode. I failed to get it all on the same subnet the way I wanted. As I gave up I realized D-Link had released a new firmware 1.03 during the hours I was hacking away yesterday. 1.03 enables AP Mode but removes the Bridge mode option"  Found here.


Yup, looks like a firmware bug of some kind. See firmware release notes.
