Missing settings in the DAP-1522 UI
« on: January 18, 2011, 01:41:30 PM »

I believe this was brought a number of times in the past, but I never found a definitive answer -- the DHCP settings (and certain others) are "missing" from the 1522 UI.

I'm using 2 brand new 1522's, fresh out of the box, and Both are missing these settings - one is running 1.1 and the other, 1.21; I have Not upgraded the f/w's on both for now (I actually previously had a 3rd 1522, that I have since returned, and was Also missing these settings and was running 1.31)

I have tried with 4 different browsers: IE8, Chrome, Opera, Safari -- None are showing the DHCP settings. I have reset browser settings to default several times, all in vain.

I finally resortted to call D-Link support - which itself was an adventure of its own - and am now waiting for a "callback" from their "Level 3" Technical support, all of that after being told that:
A) DCHP only exists in AP mode
B) The 1522 does not support DHCP
C) The 1522 manual mistakenly suggests DHCP support

I can work around this problem by specifying static IP's on the devices that connect to my 1522's, however I have 2 devices that will only accept a LAN IP from a DHCP service. If it wasn't for these 2 devices, I could live without DHCP on the 1522.

Ideas, thoughts, comments?

No, I'm not talking about DHCP in the Network Settings, I'm talking about the DHCP Server settings in the Advanced tab -- Look at the manual, page 31.

The settings that you're referring to have nothing to do with what I'm looking for.

And Yes, I am using IE.

Upgraded both my 1522's to 1.31, still no DHCP Server settings. Mind-boggling.

Still waiting for a callback from D-Link Level 3 support.

Those settings are only available in AP mode not bridge mode. In bridge mode, your "router" gives the devices plugged into your DAP-1522 their IP address.

in your first post you stated
"I finally resortted to call D-Link support - which itself was an adventure of its own - and am now waiting for a "callback" from their "Level 3" Technical support, all of that after being told that:

Hi jerry6, I don't know what's happen in other places, but just yesterday I've bought a DAP-1522, and not in DAP not in the manual I've seen this option .... so DAP-1522 don't have DHCP server service...

Yes, but how does the DHCP work if all devices connected at dap-1522 have for the router, that assign IP addresses, the same MAC-ADDRESS??? This is a problem for a fixed addresses plan too if the devices connected through DAP-1522 have a host name not recognized by the router that controls the network traffic.
