Wireless client mode with D-Link access points

Hi all,

I currently have a D-Link DWL-2000AP and a D-Link DWL-900AP Wireless
Access Point. I would like to be able to connect the two so that one
acts as a standard access point, and the other acts as a wireless
client. How do I make them work together?

Both products advertise being able to work as wireless clients, but
after a lot of work I can't make it happen. Maybe they need to be
exactly the same model for that feature?

When the DWL-2000AP is set to be the client, the DWL-900AP says that
the DWL-2000AP is an "associated station", but when I connect (via a
piece of LAN cable) my computer to the DWL-2000AP I can only ping it
and not the DWL-900AP.

Any ideas on how I might get them working together? Both products work
perfectly by themselves.

Thank you in advance,
Peter Trognolini

As far as I am aware, the DWL-2000-AP in client mode will only connect to
another DWL-2000-AP.
I have several 2000-AP's and frustratingly I can only successfully configure
the client mode to work with firmware version 1.7.

For several weeks I have been trying to bridge two networks using the 2000
AP Dlink access points and it hasn't been successful. Connection was made
then dropped, signal levels varied and their technical assistance while
responsive were not providing any solutions. I finally asked for an exchange
because the access points were not doing what they were supposed to do. My
2000AP's were HW version A1 and the exchange ones are version C 1. I set
them up and they worked and are working very well as a bridge between two
wired networks over a distance of 150 feet through at 4 walls of two houses.
Yes they will only connect in any mode to another 2000AP.
