foofer's advice, quelonzia got me a wireless bridge for my birthday, so I could finally get my desktop system back online. (Thank you, sweetness!)
The specific unit is a D-Link DAP-1522, purchased new from Fry's after a recommendation fromBuy More's Nerd Herd Best Buy's Geek Squad.
I cannot configure the wireless settings for it.
It hooks up fine to the computer, and the Setup Wizard sees. the household wireless network, but the settings the Wizard imposes don't seem to take. It tells me that it's connected when I go to the bridge's Status page, but it doesn't actually connect.
According to the manual, when I go to the wireless setup page, I should see a nice, long pageful of wireless settings:
What I actually see is a pair of "Save Settings/Don't Save Settings" buttons, a header saying "Wireless Network Settings", and nothing underneath:
Something Is Wrong, obviously. Is that Something in the Operator or the Device? Am I screwing something up, or do I need to just return this and get a new unit?
