 "it just works" 2009-07-21
By Dan (San Jose , CA)
just installed 2 of these in my home network (one as 802.11n only access point @ 5ghz, the other as a wireless bridge). setup for both took about an hour, fairly painless. got the N network up and running with no issues. the bridge connected to the AP quickly and without a hitch. i did a file copy between 2 desktops via the 802.11n wireless network, Vista says an average of 8.77 mbps, and a 32.7 gigabyte ISO file took 1 hour and 6 minutes to copy without any hiccups. this should be more than ample to stream a blu-ray movie over the wireless N network.

 "Nice product but?????" 2009-07-12
By Thomas M. Taylor (Phoenix, AZ)
I have had this little gem up and running for about a month. Set up was a real pain, but after having nothing to do for about 8 hours, i was able to get this device up and running.



The print server works just fine. i use it on a multi function printer, but have not tried the multifunction part yet.



4 stars only because of the set up was a royal pain.

 "Do not buy for Wireless Bridge" 2009-07-08
By William J. Bennett
The wireless bridge function is nearly worthless. I had an AP in the next room and it rarely found a signal even though my laptop next to it had full strength on wireless. When it did get connected, it would only stay that way for about 5 minutes then drop with no indicatiors.

 "Excellent Wireless Bridge; Poor Instructions" 2009-07-06

I've set up 4 of the DAP-1522's in bridge mode, 1 for me and 3 for friends and family, all connected wirelessly to D-link wireless routers (DIR-655 and DGL-4500) utilizing WPA2 encryption.



WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) makes setup a breeze if your router also supports WPS (you don't even have to access the web-based coniguration utility). Push the WPS button on your wireless router until it starts blinking and within 120 seconds, push the WPS button on the DAP-1522 until it starts blinking. Within a short time (less than a minute?), the DAP-1522 connects securely and wirelessly to your router.



In my setup, I have a 2 standalone blu-ray players, a PS3 and a Denon 3808CI receiver connected to the bridge with Cat6 or Cat5e cable. My wireless router is located about 50 ft. away in an upstairs room. Both blu-ray players and the PS3 have wireless built-in, but I was getting better signal strength using the bridge. Also streaming Netflix (including Netflix HD), Pandora and YouTube through the blu-ray players. All four components can also stream media from any other pc on the home network.



Where D-link fails is when you have to actually manually configure or want to update the firmware on the DAP-1522. The instructions, imho, are really unclear and dealing with D-link support over the phone is a test of patience. Basically, if you have a router and need to access the web-based configuration page of the DAP-1522, you'll need to connect it to an open router port. The switch on the back of the DAP-1522 should also be set to AP (access point). Once that is done, type in the ip address, 192.168.0.50, into the address field of your browser and you'll get to the login page of the web-based configuration utility.



Other than the instructions, the product has been working as advertised and having 4 ports instead of 1 like other bridges is also a major plus.

 "Good product, hard to find, but not all hoped for" 2009-07-03
By R. J. King (Los Angeles, CA USA)
The DAP1522 from D-Link is an inexpensive yet effective way to get multiple wired devices connected to a wireless internet signal from another room. It's simple and easy to set up, and doesn't take much space.



That said, it was hard to find, because many retailers that claim it as "in stock" really have it on backorder, which could take weeks or months to get (and D-Link may not even be supporting this product anymore).



It's great for gaming systems, advanced TVs or set-top boxes that don't have built-in wi-fi. It's also useful for setting up a wired network in a separate room from where your cable or DSL comes in for fast file transfers and streaming HD video.



However, if you want to run a home server, this is not the box for you. Some internet sources claim this box supports WDS, but it does not. It's only a client bridge, meaning MAC addresses and local IPs are funneled into one at the DAP1522. Your router will only see whatever device happened to send information last, preventing you from doing any port forwarding or advanced packet routing to the server.
