In this tutorial I am providing the steps to enable DHCP server in D-Link Wireless Access Point (D-Link DWL-2100AP). If we enable DHCP server in an Access Point it can be worked as a Wireless Router. To perform this follow the steps below.
1. Access D-Link DWL-2100AP
To Access the AP type 192.168.0.50 on the address bar of web browser and press enter.
Enter the user name and password when it prompt.
Default user name : admin
Default password : admin
2. Enable DHCP Server to make Access Point a wireless Router
To enable DHCP server and convert the Access Point to Wireless Router click on Advance tab.
On the Advanced Page click on DHCP Server and enable it.
Enter the following details:
IP Assigned From :192.168.0.2
The Range of Pool (1-255) :50
SubMask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.0.1
Click Apply to save settings.

I tried the 192.168.0.50 but the internet page didn't open. Now, is the wireless access point supposed to be connected to the computer through a LAN cable or not?
I'm trying this on vista!
Yes,
You should connect your wireless Access Point to your computer using a LAN cable to access its configuration page.
the range of pool: when i type 50 it shows the range must be 60-31536000. What could be the problem?
The range of pool in Dlink DWL 2100 AP Access point is only between 1 to 255.
Here we can select in which range of ip address the DHCP server.
If we select 50 as the range of pool,the DHCP server of D-link DWL 2100 AP will assign any ip address to its clients belongs to next 50 ip addresses.
So if the DHCP IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the IP range pool is 50 ,the clients of DWL 2100 AP (When DHCP enabled this Dlink access point will start work as a wireless router) will automatically get IP addresses which should be in between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.51
So please check whether the DHCP server enabled first before setting ip address pool.
