I got myself a wireless access point today. While I did swear I'd never buy DLink again, I cheated on that promise because Dlink stuff stacks on top of each other.
So here I am, trying to figure out how this stuff by trial-and-error. >.<
Ok, so my network looks like this right now:
ADSL Modem (DSL-300T)
|
|
Router (DI-604)---PC (Dell )
|
|
Switch (DES-1005D)
|
|
WiFi AP (DWL-2000AP+)
My only WiFi-enabled product right now (unless I drag my old PC out of storage and try and configure it using a USB WiFi dongle I was tricked into buying), is my xbox 360. So I have fiddled with it instead up until this point.
I have accessed the AP through my browser and configured basic parameters such as SSID and WEP key, and when I scan for networks using the 360, I detect the SSID I just configured. I just can't connect to it.
I've tried bypassing the switch and connecting the AP straight to the router. There's not supposed to be a router in the AP, so I don't think that should interfere. Especially as I can access its web interface. Or well, I could; I set the AP to using dynamic IP just to see what happened, and now it's disappeared. D'oh! Guess I'll have to reset it and do everything from scratch again...
Any hints here of what could be the problem?
Thanks!
