1366436 2014-01-30 07:17:00 Anyone know the quickest way to add a new DLink DWL-6600AP into an existing Cluster of APs?

Does the unit need to be assigned an IP address in the same segment to the rest of the units first?

The default IP is 10.90.90.91, managed to get into the config screen and there is a "Start Cluster" button, but it does not appear to find any other APs.

Have to check if the ethernet outlet in the room is live, the port label does not have a corresponding outlet at the patch panel, so could simply be that the port is not live.

May be I just have to RTFM ... www.dlink.com

Discovered that we have to purchase a licence and install it on the main controller to activate new access points . Sigh, wasted hours trying to get them to talk!

This is adding to an existing system on the site, so changing to different product is not an option, there are "LOTS" of devices connected to the same SSID seamlessly. The additional APs are just to extend the coverage. They have some other el cheapo access points on site already but want to take advantage of the Unified management of the system.
