• We recommend the following:
- Internet Explorer® 7.0 or higher
- Firefox
- Chrome
- Safari 4.0 or higher
• Windows® Users: Make sure you have the latest version of Java
installed on your computer. Visit www.java.com to download.
• If you are using the DAP-1665 in Access Point Mode, verify physical
connectivity between the access point and your router. The
LAN LED on the device should be illuminated, indicating that a
connection is established.You should also ensure that your router’s
Ethernet port is enabled and functioning properly.
• If you are using Wi-Fi to connect to the router or access point,
ensure that your are connected to the correct wireless network,
and that there are no connectivity problems. If you are still unable
to access the conguration utility, try connecting to the router or
access point using the included Ethernet cable.
