    Default Dreambox Wireless Network Problems

    Hi Guys,

    Im currently setting up my dreambox's to my home network.
    I have a D-Link DWL-2000AP+ and a DWL-900AP+, i followed this guide



    and was able to set up the 2000AP+ to work on my DM7020. But when i tried setting up the 900AP+ i have problems even though the tute if for the DM900AP+.

    When i connect the lan cable to the dreambox the LAN light doesnt turn on 900AP+, but when ever i connect the lan cable to the computer the lan light comes on straight away for the 900AP+.

    Ive tried different lan cable and tried it on both the DM7020 and DM500 but on both the light doesnt come on.

    If anyone has any suggestions i will be willing to try them.

    Cheers

    Hi All,

    You could try setting one as "access point" and the other set as "client" - also, is the decoder using an IP address or have you got that set to DHCP?

    I have got a Dlink DSL-G604T as access point and a Dlink DAP-1150 as client both using IP addresses and using a crossover cable and that works ok with my DM500.

    crossover or straight cable dont really matter as both will work.

    Hope that helps

    cheers

    yep crossover cable fixed the problem of the lan light not appearing.
    But now when i try and connect to the dreambox from my computer the emigma web interface doesn't come up for the DM500's i tried swapping the WAP's around and they both worked successfully on the DM7020 so they are not the problem and i recently had a router connected to the DM500 so the lan port isnt the problem.

    Im unsure of what the problem is any ideas ???

    EDIT:

    Found my problem, forgot to add the DM500 to my wireless internet devices

    Cheers
