Configuring D-Link DAP-1360

January 22, 2012

Just wanted to put this fix on the record. Trying to reconfigure a D-Link DAP-1360 access point as a repeater. Couldn’t even get to the configuration screens with a cable connected directly to my computer. Searched the tech BBSes and finally found this recommendation for configuring my computer:

IP address: 192.168.0.51
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.50
Leave DNS set to automatic.

Bingo!

(There’s another recommendation to set the computer’s IP address to 192.168.0.99, which I didn’t try.)

Now, tell me why D-Link itself doesn’t document this somewhere? And why do they make this so freaking difficult? Inexcusable.
