Re: Can the DWL-2100AP connect 2 wired clients to a DI-624?

JimS24@xxxxxxxxx hath wroth:

It works!!! I took a risk and went backwards in the firmware. First
I tried 2.10, which appeared to be just about the same as the
mysterious shipping firmware (2.11) that is not on their website.

Did 2.10 not work the same way as 2.11? It's not really clear from
your description.

Then I went back to version 2.00. I selected AP Client mode, like I
did when I first opened the box, and now it works.

Nicely done. Congratulations on your perseverance.

I connected 3 DHCP
clients and the AP to my DSS-5+ switch and they all got IP addresses.
The AP is set to have a static IP. I did not try setting it to DHCP.

Out of curiosity, did it connect to the MAC address of the wireless
port, or did it do the same thing at 2.11 and try to connect to the
MAC address of one of the ethernet ports?

Thanks for all the help! I'm very dissapointed in D-Link for pulling
off a marketing scam like that just to get you to buy two access
points. They should have at least left it open for the DI-624 router
which is in the same wireless G family, which is the original reason I
bought it.

Never attribute to malice, that which can be adequately explained by
sloppy testing. I can personally attest to the difficulties involved
in regression testing a product like the DWL-2100AP for every feature,
function, combination, and specification. In this case, very few of
the manufacturers even advertise the fact that you can run more than
one client behind their access point client. Little wonder they
didn't test for it. It's an old story, where a new update broke an
"undocumented feature".
