What our customer's say!

"So far so good ", I recently set up On Demand via this wireless bridge. My main router is a Dlink 655 Wireless Router. I am currently running WAP security. I connected the bridge to my laptop out of the box. Followed to quick install guide which surprising worked the first time. I set the 1522 to Bridge mode and during setup used the "Sight Survey" option which basically searches for wireless networks in the area. I clicked on my home network and wen through the setup. I would recommend double checking your security setting because there is really now prompt or warning indicating if the setup is correct. After the setup I connected my DirectV DVR and Sony BluRay player to the 1522. (the 1522 has 4 Ethernet ports which makes this unit particularly appealing) I went through the Ethernet settings on both devises and everything worked perfectly. I then initialized Media Sharing on Windows Media Player to allow DirecTV Media Share Devise. I downloaded a full-length movie on my DSL connection in about 2 hours. The download stream is steady and solid w/ a good transfer rate. All in all I am extremely impressed. The 655 was about $68.00 @ Costco. This configuration is working flawlessly so far with a set up time of about 10 mins if your are familiar with a router interface. So far this is an excellent unit and would highly recommend it for this configuration or similar.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, the lights on the unit are bright. Too bright. I want to see the routers activity but i don't want it to be terribly obvious. I placed a narrow strip of masking tape over the front display and it dimmed the lights just enough.

"Fits my needs perfectly", I needed a wireless bridge to connect my downstairs network where my FIOS connecting comes into the house (and where my Media Center PC is located) to my upstairs Office Network where my Workstation, Laptop and Windows Home server live.

The initial set up was easy enough if you have a little previous knowledge on wireless networks. I am using it to bridge my 11N network to a D-Link DGL-4500 Router. So far, after a couple of weeks, everything appears very solid. I'm not seeing the short drop outs that my old 11g bridge use to see. I am getting excellent speeds going over the wireless bridge as well. About the same as I see on any 11N device attached to my network.

The Gigabit switch is great as well. I get great transfer rates when copying or backing up files to my Windows Home server sitting on the same switch.

If you need a fast, solid wireless bridge this is a good solid choice.

As usual, Amazon delivered the product in a quick, timely manor. Usually I order my tech gear from places like NewEgg but it was a bit cheaper from Amazon. Less than a 2 day turn around to Massachusetts with free shipping. Service like this keeps me coming back to Amazon.

" Dlink DAP-1522 - Perfect bridge for your entertainment center", If you are in need to connect blu-ray players, xbox360, and/or home theatre systems to your wireless network, then the DAP-1522 is a perfect solution.

I already have a Dlink DIR-655 wireless N router, which made the setup to "bridge mode" take 30 seconds. You push the WPS button on the bridge, then press the WPS button on the router, and they find each other in 10 seconds, with wpa2 security enabled as well. You are done.

I bought 2 of these for 2 media rooms and signal strength is awesome, averaging 70-80% all the time. I am able to stream HD to my xbox360, watch netflix on xbox360, and pull BD-Live content seamlessly.

If you have a DIR-655 router, then this is the way to go.

PRO:
Easy to setup if you have DIR-655
Easy to keep out of site, no attennas
Good Signal strength

Cons:
Little expensive
LED's are very bright, livable though

"WAP-1522 WPA security does not work with DI-524", BEWARE! I spent 3 days trying to figure out why this DAP-1522 didn't work with my DI-524 router- both DLink products. I spent a good hour with tech support, and they were respectable. However , there were useless as I figured out their problem for them. I had the latest firmware for both the router and the AP. WPA still did not work. The PSK was being validated by the router, and the wap was connected. However, the wap would attempt to update private keys, and apparently the router didn't respond, and the wap dropped connection, because it wasn't a valid handshake. My other wireless adapters had no problem connecting to the router. So, the wap must have some special handshake with it that only certain routers will understand. So I had to buy the DIR655 and give it a try. It worked like a champ in seconds. So, you can save yourself time and effort if you buy the dir655 or whatever upgrade you choose to your 802.11g router, at the same time you buy the dap1522. Once I had it working, it has been working great. But be prepared to buy other products so that you can run a secure wireless network with the dap1522. Afterall, it really isn't completely backwards compatible.

"I got 3 of these!", I created a home network with one DIR-655 and three DAP 1522 to cover every corner of my home with dual band wireless-N.


Room #1: Office:

Dir-655 router, DSL modem, main computer as the media server.
1st DAP 1522 working as an AP (IP can be assigned by router's DHCP server. But I set it to a fixed 192.168.0.49 so I can get to it faster).

The reason I add this DAP 1522 is to add 5GHZ band intended for HD streaming. DIR-655 already has the 2.4 GHZ wireless-N band for other laptops.


Room #2, living room

DirecTV HD receiver with TiVo
PS3
42" LCD TV
Sling Box Pro HD (to be added soon)
2nd DAP 1522 as 5 GHZ wireless bridge #1. IP set to fixed 192.168.0.50.

Bridge #1 connects to the AP (first DAP 1522) by 5 GHZ flawlessly. I don't have a way to test the real speed yet but I noticed performance similar to wires I had before.


Room #3, Master bed room.

2nd TV
SlingCatcher (to be added soon)
3rd DAP 1522 as 5 GHZ wireless bridge #2. IP set to fixed 192.168.0.51.


What I got (or about to get) from this setup,

1. HD streaming from main computer (media server) to living room TV through PS3 using Wireless-N 5.0 GHZ. Already tried Hulu.com with PlayOn and video is smooth. Playing videos on main computer hard drive through PS3 works fine too. Had issue with wireless-G to do this before. Fixed it with a wire. Now wireless again.

2. HD straming DirecTV programming from SlingBox pro HD in living room to bed room's SlighCather and 2nd TV, using Wireless-N 5.0 GHZ

3. HD streaming from main computer (media server) to bed room TV through SlingCathcer using Wireless-N 5.0 GHZ

4. Internet access through out the house using wireless-N 2.4 GHZ only (270Mbps-300Mbps nominal speed), using wireless-N 5.0 GHZ only(270Mbps-300Mbps nominal speed), or dual band wirelss-N (Not sure if it's 270Mbps-300Mbps nominal speed x2, don't have this yet.

5. HD straming DirecTV programming from SlingBox pro HD in living room to any computer in the world (when I travel).

This is the best network device I got after the DIR-655 router!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Easy setup, good range, does the job", Used to connect an Xbox 360 and a ReplayTV unit in another room to the home network. Setup up was incredibly easy using the One touch wireless setup connecting to a D-Link Xtreme N router. My house has a lot of interference but this unit seems to have decent range and speed. The only potential negative I can think of is the front panel LEDs are exceedingly bright.

"Requires visible SSID", I'm using the DAP-1522 with a DIR-655 router, both updated to the latest firmware as of this writing (1.21 for the 655, 1.02 for the 1522), and found that the DAP-1522 absolutely will not connect to the DIR-655 (either via WPS or manually) with the router set to invisible mode. Only when I allow the DIR-655 to broadcast its SSID will the DAP-1522 connect. I hope D-Link fixes this in a future update, as I prefer to run the router configured for maximum security. Hope this helps someone out there not waste as much time as I did.


"great product", This is a great product. It took a few minutes to install but overall it is great. This works perfectly as a bridge or an access point and includes the best features around. I recommend this product to everyone!!!!

"Great product, setup was a little confusing", Bridge works as advertised. Great speed as it is able to utilize the 802.11n signal from my Belkin router. I currently have my desktop and a server connected to it. Initial setup and instructions were a little confusing though. Novice computer users who don't know how to change their IP settings might get frustrated. I, myself, am pretty knowledgeable with computers, and even I found the instructions not as straight-forward as I would have liked. For whatever reason I was trying to change the settings on my router to access the bridge setup page, but I over-thought it and you can just as easily access the page by connecting the bridge to your computer and changing the local static IP address settings on your system (to 192.168.0.xx). Once I got everything setup, no further maintenance is required. I was amazed at the difference in speeds compared to 802.11b/g. Never going back there.

"Great No problems since installed", Hit the pair button on my D-Link DIR-655 and the pair button on this DAP 1522 and it paired perfected, although it took quite a bit of time if I remember correctly.

Been months and I have yet to have a problem, I use it with my PS3 and xbox 360. I don't see a difference playing games on my other ps3 and xbox 360 wired to the router.
