Tearing my hair out now.....
Bought a D-Link DI-624+, DWL-2000AP, matching pci card and 2 pcmcia cards.
I wanted to use the access point as a "hop" to extend the range of the
network from the house to a small office at bottom of garden. I duly set up
the router, no problems with connection, then went about setting up the
access point at the back in the patio to extend over to the office at bottom
of garden. I set up the laptop next to the access point but could get no
signal whatsoever from it and was only picking up a very low signal from the
router.
I connected to the access point via ethernet from the laptop and all is
well, I can connect no problems. When it comes to communicating via wireless
it just doesn't happen. I have tested this out with a pci card and just
having the access point on in access mode (it has 4 modes) and it connects
fine but I still can't access the control panel on 192.168.0.50.
I have tried all the mac addresses available to me from router, have tried
all the settings on both the router and the access point but I still can't
communicate with it unless it's connected via ethernet.
The wireless works as I can get a signal, but nothing more.
I have contacted D-Link today and got conflicting reports from them, the
first call said that these two don't work and that I need another access
point to extend the network (screw that, already paid a fortune for what I
have got here which is *supposed* to work together according to manual and
website) and that *maybe* future firmware updates will fix this issue. The
second call I made they said that my hardware revisions and firmware should
allow me to connect and use the full 4 settings of the AWL with the router
for the purpose I bought them for (and should be able to).
Scouring the internet I came across this:
http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,9046224~mode=flat
Which also seems conflicting.
Sorry for the long windedness of this but I have been trying to get it
running since 10am and it's now 11.30pm
Has anyone got these two working together? I have:
DI-624+ hardware revision A3 with latest 1.18 firmware and the DWL-2000AP+
hardware revision A2 with firmware 1.13 (latest also).
Please, any advice welcome before I have to send it all back and choose yet
another setup.
I am not new to setting up a wireless network, so it's not a newbie fault
