I had a problem this morning where my D-Link DAP-1522 access point had to be reset to factory defaults. After clicking the reset button on the back and having it reboot, I was unable to go to the configuration page following the instructions (visit 192.168.0.50 and log in). Totally inaccessible.
I ended up calling D-Link support and they explained how to do a more manual connection to the access point. Basically the DHCP server wasn't enabled so I wasn't able to get an IP address when connecting directly to the access point so I had to mangle my network settings a bit long enough to connect and set things up.
- Connect your computer to the access point with an Ethernet cable.
- Go into the adapter settings for the network adapter you've connected to the access point.
- Update the TCP/IPv4 settings on the adapter so it's not DHCP anymore. Use these settings:
- IP = 192.168.0.99
- Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
- Gateway = 192.168.0.50
- Now open up a browser and go to 192.168.0.50 as you normally would to get to the configuration page. It should come up.
I kinda wish that had been in the instruction manual, but since it's not, there you go.
