Dlink DWL 700 AP to use as a bridge / repeater Abstract: this procedure also applies to the dlink following models: DL524, DL524UP, DL624 Rev.C, and clearly DSLG604T DWL700AP. ________________________________________________________________
I have this access point for years, for a time 'was in the cellar replaced by the classic HAG Fastweb.
I recently had the need to repeat the signal wi-fi in a "dark" of the house. This
valid, albeit dated, unit has played the role perfectly.
configuration mode bridge (or repeater) is fast and intuitive.
Finite presentations, let's see how:
A) Introduction (reset the Access Point D-link DWL700 AP) If the access point has old settings that do not want to preserve or if not
remember the password to access them you need to reset it. On the official site are unclear information. With me it worked like this:
1) the unit is turned on, insert the tip of a pen on the back of the access point, in the little hole that says "reset". Hold for a period not less than 10 seconds (and no more than 20-25).
2) Disconnect power to the access point.
3) Put the tip of the pen in the little hole and hold switch. Wait for more than 10 seconds, still holding and the game is done.
B) Enter the access point To configure the AP in repeater mode access is necessary. To make this
normally enough:
1) connect via network cable with the appliance or by accessing the wi-fi network.
NB "In the latter case, if you just bought or the resattato apperecchio or if you still have the standard configuration, the network name will "default" , the network will also be without a password, and then open and easily accessible. " 2) had access to network (cable or wi-fi) have to go into the address bar of your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and type:
192.168.0.50 ie, the address of your Access Point's factory .
NB (for other models could be 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 , 192.168.2.1) If all va bene*, vi comparirà una schermata di richiesta di user-id (nome utente) e password.
La user-id è:
admin la password è nulla, quindi lasciate bianco e premete invio.
*NB Se non doveste riuscire ad accedere al router, e quindi vi comparisse la pagina di errore invece di quella di richiesta della user-id e passowrd, leggete l'ultimo paragrafo ("problemi ad accedere all'AP"). C)Configurare l'Access Point in modalità Bridge / Repeater Avuto accesso al router sarà necessario configurarlo in modalità "repeater", ossia che ripeta il segnale di un altro Access Point Wi-fi, the HAG Fastweb, for example.
Press Enter at the request of the Username and Password properly you should be in front of a screen like this.
A) Go in the "Home" (top)
B) and then in the "wireless" (left) as shown below.
C) In the drop-down menu "Mode" choose "Repeater"
D) Then click "Site Survey" and you'll be shown the network that are visible, looking for your (the one that you want to replicate the signal), select it and click OK!
E) In this punnto as shown in the image Next, the box should see your SSID network name of choice (in case you did not appear put a hand on your network is the monetary seen in the previous screen after you have clicked the "site survey").
F) Then lay the cornerstone of network security that you want to repeat the signal, making sure to select the correct type for Fastweb is now a WPA / PSK.
Click OK and you are done. :) __________________________________________________________

problems accessing the Access Point (me error when I type 192.168.0.50)
It could happen that although you have reset the AP and you're connected to the network "default" when inserted into your browser address 192,168 .0.50 give you an error page.
In this case, try this:
1) Go to Control Panel
2) Click on Network Connections and Sharing center
3) Click on Manage network connections
4) Look for the network "default", right click and look for "properties", then click. You should see a screen like this.
5) Seek written Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and double-click.
6) In these ores point there appears a new browser window that you have set as described in the picture below that is:
-a) click the Use the following IP address
-b) IP Address: 192.168.0.100
-c) Subnet Mask should be alone in the house he did not put: 255.255.255.0
-d) Default Gateway 192.168.0.50 (do not remember anything?: v)
7) Click "OK" you should now have access.
