Title: Extending Range, But No Internet
Post by: RobertCB on July 26, 2018, 11:04:25 AM
Hi All,

I've been struggling to set up my DAP-1650.  I've successfully gone through the wizard and set it up properly, choosing my network that I want to extend.  The Status page shows all the proper info.  But when I connect to the 1650's network with any device (have tried several laptops and phones), I can connect but do not have internet.  Switching back to the original network that I'm trying to extend, I can verify that there is internet access.  Just not through the 1650's network.

I'm happy to provide any info I'm leaving out that might help troubleshoot.  TIA!

What wireless mode did you select? (repeater, access point, or media bridge)?

Can you ping your router when connected to the extender?

Can you ping out to the Internet? try ping 4.2.2.2

If you can, try pinging yahoo.com. If you do not get replies, DNS issue.

Did you statically assign your device IP settings or using DHCP from router?

Appreciate the help, as we still haven't gotten this working yet.  Answers inline below:

What Hardware version is your DAP? A1
What Firmware version is currently loaded? 1.03 Have not updated.
What region are you located? North America
What wireless mode did you select? (repeater, access point, or media bridge)? "Extender"
Can you ping your router when connected to the extender? Not sure what this means, but am happy to check if you can provide instructions.
Can you ping out to the Internet? try ping 4.2.2.2 Again, not sure what this means, but will do so if I can get some instructions.
Did you statically assign your device IP settings or using DHCP from router? I'm assuming DHCP as I did not assign anything to the DAP (if you mean the DAP by device")  I did not even see a setting for this in the DLink page for the DAP, and nothing was done in the router settings.

Also, is this device NOT compatible with XP?  I have tried WinXP, Win10 and Apple IOS.  All devices can connect tot he DAP, but XP will not load the dlinkap.local. page (Win10 does).

I've got screenshots of the relavent pages but cannot seem to figure out how this forum allows attachments.

Lets update FW:
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=73445.0 (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=73445.0)

Factory reset after the FW is updated then setup from scratch. Let us know...

Also, in addition to Furry's response, dlinkap.local. may not work with XP for some reason. Try "http://dlinkap". And if i remember right in some cases make sure you add the period at the end of local.

To ping, use a Windows computer that is wirelessly connected to the extender.

Click on Start (or tap the windows key on your keyboard). In the "search" or "run" box, type cmd and press enter.

A window will open with a black background and blinking cursor. Type ping 192.168.0.1 and press enter. This is assumed your router has this IP address. If you get 4 "reply for...." messages, it is successful. If you get something else like timed out, general hardware failure, etc, then it failed. If you do not know your router's IP address, type ipconfig and press enter. The IP address next to Default Gateway is the IP address of your router. Ping that IP.

If it passed, try ping 4.2.2.2 and press enter. If it failed, computer cannot get to the Internet at all.

If passed, type ping yahoo.com and press enter. If this fails, something with the DNS settings on your computer. If it passes, You are successfully connected to the Internet and there may be a browser issue.

Thanks GreenBay42.  I followed your instructions (after upgrading the firmware per FurryNutz advice).  I sucessfully ping'd the DAP. 

Unfortunately when I ping'd 4.2.2.2 I got:

Pinging 4.2.2.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 4.2.2.2:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),


Any advice at this point?  When i went through setup after F/W update, I was able to see and connect to the wifi I'm looking to extend.  Both Power and Internet lights on front of DAP are green. 

TIA

Actually need to know if you can ping the local (LAN) IP address of your router. Let me know and we can go from there.

I followed these instructions and was successful:

Type ping 192.168.0.1 and press enter. This is assumed your router has this IP address. If you get 4 "reply for...." messages, it is successful. If you get something else like timed out, general hardware failure, etc, then it failed. If you do not know your router's IP address, type ipconfig and press enter. The IP address next to Default Gateway is the IP address of your router. Ping that IP.

Originallt came up unsuccessful, but used the ipconfig to find router's IP and got that working.  So Router = success , Internet = not a success.

Next steps?

On your computer when connected to the extender, go to Start > Run. Type cmd.  At the prompt type ipconfig /all

You may need to scroll a little. See if the DHCP Server address is the same as the router IP.

Is your DNS servers the same IP as your router? If not just tell me the first 2 octaves (xx.xx.y.y).  You should have 2 addresses there. The first one is the one i need.

Log into the extender. Go to Maintenance > System Check. Under Ping Test, first try the IP of your router. you should get a successful ping. Then try 4.2.2.2 and see what you get.

If it is successful, then there is something going on with the computer.

Do you have ANY kind of filtering on your router that you know of? Schedules? Parental controls, etc?

On your computer when connected to the extender,

Wired or wireless connection?

Title: Re: Extending Range, But No Internet
Post by: GreenBay42 on August 02, 2018, 01:20:28 PM
Wireless.

Do you have your computer connected to the extender via Ethernet?
Title: Re: Extending Range, But No Internet
Post by: RobertCB on August 02, 2018, 01:22:37 PM
OK, wireless it is.  The only time I had to connect via ethernet was uploading the new firmware (per on screen instructions). 

Bear with the delays, as there is no internet when connected to the DAP, so I have to go back/forth to get you the info you're asking.

No problem on the delay. I'm stuck at my desk for 2 more hours.  :)

Post by: RobertCB on August 02, 2018, 01:33:17 PM
OK, that was pretty quick to get results....

DHCP  & Router are same IP (192.168.0.50)
Ping'd 192.168.0.50 successfully.
Ping to 4.2.2.2 "Timed out".

No parental controls on router or any scheduling or what not.
Title: Re: Extending Range, But No Internet
Post by: GreenBay42 on August 02, 2018, 01:36:59 PM
The router is 192.168.0.50? This is usually the IP of the extender.

If you can connect directly to the router (wired or wireless) and just do the start > run > CMD > ipconfig

What is the default gateway IP?

What brand/model is your router?
Title: Re: Extending Range, But No Internet
Post by: RobertCB on August 02, 2018, 01:46:22 PM
OK, thought you wanted me to connect to the DAP and check those IPs?

When I switch back to the router (the network I'm attempting to extend that has internet access), the DHCP Server is 192.168.1.1

When I connect to the DAP (the network I set up in the DAP's control panel), the DHCP Server is 192.168.0.50

Am I missing something here?  I cannot get to the DAP when connected to the router, and vice versa.
Title: Re: Extending Range, But No Internet
Post by: GreenBay42 on August 02, 2018, 02:05:46 PM
OK the problem is they are on different subnets (192.168.0.x vs 192.168.1.x).

The repeater SHOULD be passing on the DHCP settings from your router to your clients and this is not happening.

Post by: RobertCB on August 02, 2018, 02:09:29 PM
Excellent, problem diagnosed!

Now, would you have any idea how to go about fixing this?  Can I change that setting in the DAP?  Or will it need to happen in the router?  I do not have access to the router's settings, and fear that it will not be possible to change it there (office environment).

Sorry I clicked Post before finishing...

Just to verify your settings on the extender:

Log in and go to SETUP > Wireless Setup.  Make sure the wireless mode is Extender.

Unfortunately I do not have a unit. I asked a tech and they do not have any of these in inventory.

When you do log into your extender, under SETUP, do you have a Network Settings option?
Title: Re: Extending Range, But No Internet
Post by: RobertCB on August 02, 2018, 02:19:02 PM
Just got back in from the location of the DAP, so I'll have to head back out to connect to it.  But I can confirm that I'm on "Extender" in the settings.

Is there a way for me to attach an image to a post?  I can send you a screen grab of the settings?

Also, when connected to the Extender, go to start > run > CMD > type ipconfig. Is the IP address 192.168.0.xxx or 192.168.1.xxx? 

If it is 192.168.0.xxx, at the prompt type ipconfig /release. Wait a few seconds. This will clear your DHCP settings on your computer.
Now type ipconfig /renew. This can take a minute. Your new IP settings should display and hopefully you get a 192.168.1.xxx IP address. Try connecting to the Internet.

If the renew process takes a long time and then times out. The router and extender are not connected properly. Log in to the extender and go to SETUP > Setup Wizard and rerun it.

How far is the extender from the router?

Sorry for the delay, I was out on vacation last week and am now picking up where we left off....

I've connected to the DAP and verified that there is a WIreless Settings" panel.  Here is a screenshot of it:

Could I be having issues with the way the IPv6 is set?
