I stumbled upon this forum while googling for information about my issue and I am impressed with the level of expertise on these forums. I therefore hope you don't mind my re-posting an inquiry I raised on the D-Link forums. I suspect that I am likely both to get an answer here and, particularly, to get one that actually might be helpful.
My D-Link DAP-1522 bridge is connecting just fine to my D-Link dual-band DIR-825 wirelessly (albeit only on the 2.4 ghz band, but that's another story). Unfortunately, the two cabled music servers connected to the DAP-1522's ethernet ports apparently cannot see the Internet. They DO see the rest of the network and all three of the DAP-1522 and the two music servers are pingable. Further, I can use other wired and wireless devices on both the 2.4 and 5 ghz bands to control the two music servers using VNC and a browser interface. Unfortunately, however, I can't seem to receive internet radio stations or check for firmware updates on the servers, so I don't believe they actually can see the internet.
My internet provider has me on a static IP address, but most devices on the network are on DHCP. However, I have assigned static IP addresses to the router, a range extender, a printer, my NAS, the two music servers, and the DAP-1522. Since I've assigned all of the static IP addresses in the devices themselves, I have not reserved any addresses on the DIR-825 router. Also, after several failed attempts to get the DAP-1522 connected wirelessly using manual settings after I initially set it to its static IP address, I finally got it to connect wirelessly to the 2.4 ghz band using WPS.
Since everything behind my DSL modem is just humming and all devices are pingable, I have to think that I ought to be able to get out to the internet with the two music servers just by making a simple settings change or two. All other devices on the network that need to see the internet do so, and with great connections, so I figure I must not be too far off. Is there something in particular that you can recommend I check? Thanks for any help you can offer, and just ask if there's additional information needed from me.
