Super User Asked on December 18, 2021
I am trying to convert my old router into an AP but I am running into some problems.
Here is what I have done so far:
When connected to the main router I can see and access (and configure) AP.
The problem is I can’t wifi connect to the AP as I get "couldn’t get IP address". This problem doesn’t exist if I turn on DHCP on the AP. How do I tell the AP to use the main router for DHCP?
AP is D-link DIR-850l
Edit 1#
I did a few factory resets and redone the setup from the start, disabling UPnP, playing around with different LAN IPs… the result is the same. I have the latest firmware for the AP router and there is no option to add LAN default gateway. DD-WRT is not available for this router. I even created a WAN subnet to verify that the AP router is working and in this mode I can connect normally via wifi and browse the internet.
For reference here is AP router manual http://files.dlink.com.au/Products/DIR-850L/Manuals/DIR-850L_A1_Manual_v1.00(DI).pdf
