There is no need to utilize bridge mode unless you are just testing to make sure that it works or you're trying to communicate wirelessly with a desktop computer. The only time the D-Link is required to be in Bridge mode is at an actual competition. Are you broadcasting wireless from a router connected to your computer with SSID 3461? If so, have you configured the bridge to connect to SSID 3461 (with any security that you have put in place of course)?

Are you using wireless or have you wired it?

Don't use bridge mode.

To use the DAP in bridge mode, you need a wireless access point for it to connect to, and you need to configure about twice as many things as you had to for AP mode, half of which are not in any of the setup instructions because you're not expected to be using bridge mode unless you're at a competition event, and all the configuration is intended to be taken care of for you by a special computer workstation dedicated to the task.

Just use the DAP in Access Point mode, okay? :)
