D-Link Xtreme-N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point (DAP-1522) Wireless N300, Dual-Band, Fast Ethernet

Pros: Much, much faster then my old 801.11G network. Purchased this and a Dlink 825, both work well and are dramatically faster. Use this device to my AV rack to provide connectivity to my HTPC, TiVo and AVR. 5Ghz band was a huge selling feature for me, BlueTooth is 2.4Ghz and my keyboard works on that frequency. My old 802.11n card would interfere with the keyboard all the time during heavy transfers. On 5Ghz, no interference at all! About 4X the speed of my old 802.11G setup (actual transfer speed), I get about 8MB/s over 5Ghz wireless connection from my 825 to this device.

Cons: Requires a BIT of networking knowledge to configure. Doesn't have an external antenna (reception is very good in my 2000 sq/ft house, but the ability to add an antenna would be nice for longer runs). Isn't free? :)

Overall Review: This device is the best way to bridge your network from one location to another. Excellent web interface (very simple) that gives you all the information you need and nothing else. Very happy (overall) with the 5/2.4 Ghz dual band setup.

Pros: Device is easy to configure. Didn't burst into flames when I plugged it in.

Cons: The device has multiple Versions and the feature you want may not be in the version you get. Moreover, the version you want isn't specified on the box, just a sticker on the device itself.

Overall Review: I went to D-Link's website and looked at the manual for this device BEFORE I bought it. I specifically needed an AP that had a guest mode so I could have people get to the internet but not my network. The manual on D-Link's site for the DAP-1522 states very clearly that this device HAS a guest mode. But when I got the device, opened it, connected it, configured it and then went to the Advanced settings to set up the guest mode... there was no guest mode. That feature is apparently only available in the Hardware Version B, not version A which I got. I called D-link's support to get this information. I don't remember being asked when I ordered from Newegg which version I wanted. Nor do I imagine they know which versions they have in the box without opening them. Is it Newegg's fault for sending me the ver A? I don't think so. Is it D-Link's fault for making a major change in the device and keeping the exact same part number? Absolutely! How about calling it DAP-1522B or something so people know there is a difference.
Now, they are telling me I can send it back to them and they'll gladly send me a refurbished ver B back. Um, no? Don't want a refurb one. Don't want to have to pay shipping back to you either. I'll just stop buying D-Link products and hurt you the best way I know how.
