I cannot set the ip address for the DWL 2700 AP , as soon as i set the
ip address , it resets and then it shows 0.0.0.0 . According to
customer service , i got it replaced but the same problem again.
I have two Ap , 1 is working perfectly alright , the second one is

Could you clarify what eqpt. you have and what you are trying to do.
Have you 1 or 2 DWL 2700AP's and what are they connected to?
If 2 DWL 2700AP's then neither of them is a DHCP server, you can set
them to obtain an IP from a DHCP server(page 32 of manual) or have a
Static IP.
I have two APs , 1 is working perfectly alright , the second one ,
when i try to set the ip , it sets the ip, resets the AP and shows the
ip address as 0.0.0.0 and same subnetmask.
I cannot change the config or telnet it or connect it because it has
this invalid ip

Does pressing the reset button not return it to it's default setting?

Hi,
I have a flock of DWL-7100AP's, so I'll try to help you out.
First: Is this just a simple "home-type" network topology -- and even if so,
are you after subnets here?
I'm going to assume simple, with no subnets, unless you say otherwise...
What you provided: You have two DLink DWL-2700 AP's. One if functioning
correctly as an AP, while the other AP you want to use as a just a simple
client. Ok. That is very reasonable. I've used one of the DWL-7100AP's as
just a client before. These are just indoor 802.11a/g/b AP's, but same
idea. One of them actually is running outside though. :-)
What you didn't provide: How is the (working) DWL-2700AP, running as an AP,
obtaining it's IP? Is there a router somewhere in this mix? If so, thats
is where the "client" DWL-2700AP should be getting it's DHCP from also, not
the "AP" DWL-2700AP. What you are seeing could be DHCP collision.
I'm sure there are probably more variables going on, (there always is), but
thats the first thing I thought of with what you provided...
The DWL-2700AP, while it does have a "DHCP server", isn't a router. Its
more like a wireless HUB switch. I.e., I take one of my DWL-7100AP's with
me when I travel in my laptop bag. Mainly use it just to repeat hotel's
wifi, but occassionaly have set it up to make a quick LAN between co-workers
and I so we could play multiplayer games against each other. It can create
a local network, but can't route two networks together. In other words, the
local LAN can't be routed to internet using just a DWL-7100AP.

I just want to set it up , so that i can use it on other side of the
building. There are 10 computers at other side of the building, I
wanna connect them to our network(of 160 wks) and they will logon
through our domain and acccess our network as well as Internet.

I think so , i did some mistake in setting it up , I made the 1st
working AP as DHCP server and the other AP as Client.... Now to my
knowledge the problem is they both cant communicate, thats the reason
y the second AP is taking ip address 0.0.0.0 on it own.

Primary goal is to connect 10 computer to our network through the AP
and make them behave as if they are in same LAN.
