DAP-1522 is making me crazy!

I found this chain in my search as my own DAP-1522 was making me crazy.
I found the answers here unhelpful and a little harsh in the personal invective.
Yet there was no actual answer to the issue - here is how I stumbled through the problem.
I used RESET - Note: takes 10 seconds to restore factory settings.
Many routers for small lans use the subnet 192.168.1.X...
The DAP-1522 uses 192.168.0.X...
So if you are NOT on the same subnet you will not be able to access the device.
I plugged in the wired ethernet connection and manually configured the TCP/IP properties:
Address: 192.168.1.25 (can be anything but ...1 and ...50)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (the DAP 1522 itslef)
I set the slide switch to AUTO and reset to factory settings...
Now I can access the thing at 192.168.0.50 - just as per the manual.
At this point the default name dlinkap will work since you are on the same subnet.
You see, the DAP-1522 intercepts the request and if it sees its own name then it responds directly.
When I was done I set the slide swith back to AP since it is wired to my router and I use it as an access point...
Now that you are there, I think you can follow the manual to get wherever you are going.

Oops, so used to typing 192.168.1.xxx that I have muscle memory, the manual TCP/IP setting I used was 192.168.0.25 to be on the ...0.xxx subnet.
