D-Link Wireless Access Point DAP-2553 Setup Interface - Configuration - BEFORE YOU PROCEED, I SUGGEST YOU BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND - Many productive work hours have been lost due to this faulty access point
If using a Windows machine:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Network and Sharing Center
3. Click ''Change adapter settings."
4. Double click on "Local Area Connection."
You should see this (picture below):
5. Highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TPC/IPv4)" & Click properties
6. Enter the values below:
7. Connect your D-Link Wireless Access Point to your PC with an Ethernet cable
8. Open up a web browser and type this into the URL address line: http://192.168.0.50
9. At the login page use these credentials: User Name: admin
*Note: the default password is blank and the default user name is admin.
10. Once you're logged into the access point, you can configure your device.
Note: I posted this because there appeared to be a problem configuring the access point following the instructions provided. I was unable to connect to the login portal following the instructions provided.
If you want to secure your access point, you have to login to the portal/interface and set an encryption password/network password.
