DWL-2700ap revB problems
« on: January 30, 2010, 06:11:54 PM »

Sorry this is in the wrong forum - but there is no "general" forum and there is no forum for any of the DWL products that I could see. Please move it to the appropriate place.

I have a DWL-2700ap revB that was acting funny from the get-go. After it just plain stopped connecting to the network I took it offline for a month or two. I just saw and upgraded to the latest 3.20 firmware.

Now the device will allow connections to it, and even let computers connected out onto the internet. But I cant log into it to administrate it. I looked on my routers connected devices list (WRT54 GL running Tomato 1.27) and it simply isnt there. I connect to the dlink wifi connection (yes I'm sure it is the DWL-2700ap) and bam im on the internet. Going to the network configuration/properties I see a gateway ip of 192.168.1.1 (my linksys routers IP)

I tried the default IP of 192.168.0.50 - no go. How is it possible that the DWL-2700 can connect to my network but be invisible?

Disconnecting the DWL from the ethernet network stops it from handing out connections. Sure windows 7 says it is "connected" "with limited connectivity" but the IP is a 169.xx one. I've tried plugging in to the data in port on the POE switch and manually assigning an IP to my laptop but no go.

The DWL should have a DHCP server right? What do you do if it is disabled as it appears to be?

DHCP is not on by default you would have to assign your network card an IP in the same range (ex:  192.168.0.5) and then you should be able to access it no problem.  You can then enable DHCP if you want but if connected o a router who already have DHCP activated then it is not necessary
