| 663270 | 2008-04-28 06:29:00 | Hey everyone. I have a wired broadband connection (slingshot) on the router (dynalink RTA1335). I got a DSE wireless access point, I connected the wireless access point with a ethernet cord to my wired router and installed this DSE software which is suppose to detect some sort of IP thing but it just doesn't seem to work. I bought this second hand so don't have much knowledge or documents. Am I connecting this access point the wrong way? Thanks. |

| 663272 | 2008-04-28 06:37:00 | This is a crossover or the adapter (en.wikipedia.org) Altho this may or may not be needed, depending on what kind of ethernet cable youre using Did you see this wireless AP in action / working?? Since its 2nd hand? |

| 663273 | 2008-04-28 07:20:00 | It mentions something about using a cat 5 or cat 6 crossover cable to connect to my computer? Why is this? | CaptainVincent (76) | ||
| 663274 | 2008-04-28 07:22:00 | It mentions something about using a cat 5 or cat 6 crossover cable to connect to my computer? Why is this? Because thats what an ethernet cable is called. CAT6 would be better If you havent got one, then what are u using? It'll probably be better to get an AP/modem/router in one. It'll be easier to figure out |

| 663275 | 2008-04-28 07:44:00 | If you are using default settings on every thing, the reason the Wireless Access point wont work is because you have the wrong address range. The dynalink RTA1335 , by default has a range of 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255. The DSE wireless access point according the manual posted above, needs a range of 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.255, with the default being 192.168.0.254 |

| 663276 | 2008-04-28 07:54:00 | It should work with an ordinary Ethernet cable going to your router. Reset the access point to factory settings, then set up a static ip address on your computer in the 192.168.0 range so you can access the WAP. | Greven (91) | ||

CAT6 would be better A standard ethernet cable is a patch cable not crossover these are wired sightly differently. |
