How to fix date and time problems on D-Link DWC-1000?
First, confirm that your D-Link Controller can reach the Internet. If you've just configured the controller, wait at least 5 minutes, then check the date and time under Administration > Date and Time > Time Zone. Verify your internet access settings. You can also try toggling the “Daylight Savings” switch to Enable or Disable, and then click Save.
What to do if D-Link DWC-1000 Controller has discovery problems with access points?
To resolve discovery issues with access points on your D-Link Controller, ensure the controller is connected to the LAN. If the access points operate in different VLANs, reside behind an IP subnet, or operate in standalone mode, make sure you've entered the appropriate IP address range. If you're using a firewall, unblock the UDP port number for each access port in the firewall. Also, ensure each access point is using a unique IP address. If not, add the access point to the managed list, change its IP address, and then run discovery again.
What to do if I am unable to save configuration changes on D-Link DWC-1000?
When entering configuration settings on your D-Link Controller, always click Apply before moving to another menu or tab; otherwise, your changes will be lost. Also, try clicking Refresh or Reload in your browser, as your changes may have been made but the browser may be caching the old configuration.
Why are the LAN port LEDs not on on my D-Link DWC-1000?
To troubleshoot LAN port LEDs not being on for your D-Link Controller, check that the Ethernet cable connections are secure both at the wireless controller and at the switch. Ensure that power is applied to the connected switch and that the switch is turned on. Also, verify that you are using the correct cables (straight-through or crossover).
How to fix a D-Link DWC-1000 Controller when the power LED is off?
Confirm that the power cord is properly connected to the D-Link wireless controller and plugged into a functioning power outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.
