  • Page 12: Wireless Installation Considerations

    Section 2 - Installation Wireless Installation Considerations The D-Link wireless MediaBridge® lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines: 1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link MediaBridge® and other network devices to a minimum.

  • Page 34: Troubleshooting

    Section 6 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-1513. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have a different ® operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.) 1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility? When entering the IP address of the D-Link MediaBridge® (192.168.0.50 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
  • Page 35 This should open the login page for your the web management. • If you still cannot access the configuration, unplug the power to the MediaBridge® for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing the configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different computer. 2. What can I do if I forgot my password? If you forgot your password, you must reset your MediaBridge®. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults. To reset the MediaBridge®, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the MediaBridge®powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the MediaBridge® will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the MediaBridge®. The default IP address is 192.168.0.50. When logging in, the username is Admin and leave the password box empty. D-Link DAP-1513 User Manual...
