 Works as expected June 9, 2008

I've configured the DAP-1522 as a wireless bridge to a DIR-655 (2.5Ghz). I've got a PS3 and a Satellite DVR connected to two of the four ethernet ports on the DAP-1522. I have configured the 1522 to use WPA2 security as well.
Setup was a little tricky, but it was my fault not the fault of the 1522. If you choose to manually configure the 1522 be sure you follow the directions and connect the 1522 to your computer and with your computer configured to use a static IP address in the 192.168.0/24 subnet. I mistakenly had my computer still trying to use DHCP when connecting to the bridge and it took me a little while to figure out what was wrong. My computer couldn't get an IP address and so Windows kept assigning an address from a different subnet, so I was not able to establish a connection to the DAP-1522's default 192.168.0.50 IP address.
The 1522 works as expected. Performance is very good with a max of 162Mbps through 3 drywall walls (approx 40 ft) to my entertainment center as displayed on the DIR-655 console. I haven't run any local network bandwidth tests to verify the throughput yet, but I can easily stream HD content without blocking between a PS3 and a wired media server. Previously I was using the PS3's internal 802.11g network interface, and HD media was not viewable as it overwhelmed the 11g link.
I did notice that the orientation of the DIR-655 and the DAP-1522 did make a difference in the reported signal strength and data rate as seen from the DIR-655 console. So after you've gotten things to work, don't forget to run some experiments to determine the best position for the devices to get the best performance possible.
Works well as an access point, too! May 25, 2008

I already have a wired router (D-Link DGL-4100 Broadband Gaming Router, 4-Port Gigabit Switch), so I bought the DAP-1522 to add Draft-N wireless connectivity to my existing wired network, through its ability to act as an access point. It is small, light, and has no projecting antennas, so you can put it just about anywhere. The built-in browser-based wizards made setting up the network easy - I chose to go with the 5 GHz band to avoid interference from our cordless phone and microwave oven, and to limit the network to draft-N devices only - and the results are really impressive. We carried a laptop all over the house, including upstairs in a two-story house, and it got the maximum signal strength everywhere. Internet access seems to be every bit as fast as over a wired connection, as I would have expected since draft-N connections are supposed to be quite a bit faster than the internet connection itself (via cable modem). Highly recommended!

Just received this product - using it as a bridge. It took a little longer that I thought it would for initial boot up so don't worry if that happens to you. I used WPS and it automatically went to the lower band. (I have a D-link dual band N router as well (DVR-825.) WPS did connect quickly - but I had to go in manually and change it to the higher (5 ghz) band. This really didn't take much time at all. I think I spent a total of 10 min setting this up. 5+ min of waiting until it did its first complete boot up and the rest just with WPS and manual setup. It installed quickly and no issues.
On a very positive note, I noticed the 5ghz band to have about the same strength as the 2.4 ghz band. The bridge is in a room about 75-100 feet away through 3 drywalls - both bands were at about 60%. Now that might not sound great, but typically the 5ghz band is much lower than the 2.4. I am extremely happy with the results I have seen. I am using this connected to my slingbox so heavy media use. I tested it out and it was a great picture. I really like the feature that I can hook 4 devices into this. I haven't tested this feature out yet, but I am looking forward to it.
All in all, this product works well with my D-link router and it was very quick to setup. It is my opinion that if you are looking for a good router and bridge that work very well together, even in the higher 5 ghz band, then this is the best ones to get. Almost shocked at how easy this bridge was to setup.
Best wireless Product ever made! May 8, 2008

I have a D-link Xtreme Gigabit router connected with this device and the speed is blazing.
I bought the linksys game adapter that only has one ethernet port, but I found this product on D-link's website. I returned the Linksys adapter immediately. It's only available online right now, but this product is a must have if you have multiple devices that require internet access. The price is only around $100, has 4 ethernet ports, and it's uses 802.11n. The linksys adapter has 1 port and it cost $99. The Xbox 360 wireless adapter is $99 and it uses 802.11g. It's a no brainer! I have a Xbox 360, Directv HD-DVR, and my new Samsung 52in 6 series connected to this bridge. I'm about to add a Slingbox. Best wireless product of the year!

HI all. Happy New Year.
Everything these days has an ethernet port and not necessarily is wireless. The solution is here....this bridge paired with an D-Link DIR-655 router is the best answer, in my opinion.
I had apple base stations and ditched them for the DIR-655 and the DAP-1522. See my review for the DIR-655.
The DAP is very easy to pair with the DIR and works flawlessly. I have 4 devices plugged in to the ethernet ports on the back....a xbox360, a ps3, a blu-ray player, and a dish-network box. I have done some speed tests and I am impressed...I am getting well over 150mbps locally. The DAP is 1 floor and about a total of 100 feet away from the router. NO ISSUES.
I wont go into too many details on setup...but I do recommend a firmware update on this right out of the box...as I would with any new hardware. If you buy the router...update that also...first things first. ;-)
Great product, great pricing.
My only issue....bright led lights...but there are ways to overcome that problem with tape, etc....
Check it out....its the same price as a wireless adapter for the xbox 360...but you get 3 extra ports. :-)
GREAT GREAT GREAT!.
