I had the same problem with a DLINK DAP-1160, it did not seem to reset and I could not connect, nor PING it. It turned out that the box WAS resetting, and although the default IP address 192.168.0.50 and subnet 255.255.255.0 was being set, my computer was assigning itself up a private IP address and subnet 255.255.0.0. In the manual, it does say that you must be on the same subnet, so I changed my alternate IP address for my ethernet to be static and set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 and everything sprung in to life.
To summarise: make sure the computer you are using to configure the DAP-1160 has its subnet to 255.255.255.0.
The default ip addres of the DLINK DAP 1160 is 192.168.0.50username: adminpassworn: <none>
Try resetting the D-Link back to the default settings -
Press and hold the RESET button at the back of the router with the power ONuntil the LEDs flash at the time the release the RESET button.
Connect a LAN cable from the D-Link to your laptop/computer's LAN port, openthe browser on your laptop/computer and enter the D-Link's configuration URL..
http://192.168.0.1
