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.

Pros: Once this is set up, it works great. We've had it going for 6+ months now and almost forgot it was there. No reboots or loss of connectivity.

Cons: Clunky set up and instructions. On the product page, there is a virtual set up but some of the specifics seem to be left out and trial & error is needed. A lot of others appear to be having issues setting it up as well.

Overall Review: I've created created a complete tutorial for anyone interested found here: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=39740.0 Hope this helps!!!

Pros: If you want to stream HD video or currently attempt to stream HD video over your PS3's built in wifi (802.11g) and get stutter or errors - this is for you. I was running using a Linksys 54G router prior and regular xvids/divx files ran fine but any converted mkv's or other HD media would stutter.

Cons: A little pricey - especially if you need to upgrade your router to get the increased speed benefits. Setup is not the most straight forward - especially by the lack of clear instructions in the manual.

Overall Review: Running a PS3, Xbox 360, laptop of a 54mbps G card and my iPhone. Connection to a D-Link 655 ~25 ft away through 2 walls gets me ~60-70% connection @ 54-81 avg mbps. A far cry from the 300 stated. However I've thrown countless 1080p HD with DTS audio files at it with out a single stutter. While my old Linksys 54G setup with PS3's built in wifi would leave files stuttering quite often. If pairing with another D-Link router with WPS - the routers web interface will attempt to connect to the 1522 if you follow the wizards but fail. To have both devices connect via WPS - use the physical button on the router first, then the bridge. Done.

Pros: Small, come with mounting screws, works great as a wireless bridge to connect PS3, Xbox etc... to network when wireless router in another room. Getting between 100-200Mbps throughput between router & bridge. There are specifics you will need to follow to get the full 300Mbps.

Cons: Documentation is lacking. It comes on a CD, or you can DL it from the D-Link website. The "Bridge" mode light blinks orange when in use, which typically means error/problem. Would prefer green or blue.

Overall Review: I have a DLG-4500 router, and wanted this to connect, my PS3 and TV to my network so I can stream video to them from the computer room. MP3 did fine, but video (before the DAP-1522) would buffer etc... Tried to set up manually, but didn't seem to work too well. Here is what I did: Configure the router with the security type you want. Then hook up power to the DAP-1522 (no CAT5 connection yet) and use the WPS, works like a champ. Unplug power and move to location, plug power in to unit, hook up Computer/PS3/BluRay etc via CAT5 to LAN port on 1522 and away you go. In bridge mode it WILL use the static IP of 192.168.0.50. If you are trying to configure manually you will need to leave it as Static IP. Once I did the WPS, it was a breeze.

Pros: First I'd like to say to anyone needing a honest review of this unit, please take heed. This device is so simple to set up it's unreal. I got this unit running in 10 minutes flat. Upgraded the firmware, went thru the manual (vs automatic) setup wizard and I was done. The connect is fast as well and I have it mated to my DGL-4500.

Cons: The WPS didn't activate but who cares. Too much automation is bad in my opinion. I just set the device up manually.

Overall Review: I saw some reviews guiding people on how to get this bridge setup in bridge mode and here it is again. When you receive the device, plug it in, download the latest firmware to the PC you are going to use to upgrade the firmware. Next, plug the PC directly to the unit. Go to your network card properties and change your IP address to 192.168.0.51 (forget about going to 192.168.0.50). The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0, then hit ok. Open a web browser then type http://dlinkap and you should be at the config page of the device. You can upgrade the firmware from the firmware section and use Setup to set up your device. Very easy. After you finish the setup, go back to your network card and set it back to DHCP then click ok. Anyone that says they have a high level of technical experience and can't set up this device needs to take more training on basic setup of home networking devices. A router is harder to set up.

Pros: I get good reliable speeds with this thing. Used it to connect my HTPC, PS3, DVR, and Voip over 5ghz N to my router upstairs about 30' away. Even with a lot of signal loss I was streaming high def videos perfectly that wouldn't play correctly at all over 2.4 ghz. At half signal you are going to destroy 2.4 ghz speeds.

Cons: The UI on this thing leaves something to be desired, I took an egg because it is truly bad. Setup can be a pain the first time around for something that should be very simple. The second egg I docked is from the ac adapter failing after about a year, I had to buy a replacement from radio shack for about 20 bucks. I could easily see people thinking their device died and giving up on it when it was just the power cord.

Overall Review: The 5 ghz range is poor but that's standard with all 5 ghz devices. Also nowhere on this thing's description does it say "simultaneous dual band", so why dock eggs for it not being able to? People shouldn't be bashing this device because they are ignorant.

Pros: In the bridge mode, the "site survey" function helps me orient the device to get the best connection with my wireless router. I have owned these for more than 2 years and they are reliable. 4 ports of gigabit speed so I can connect multiple devices.

Cons: I wish they had external connections that would allow me to add external antennas. Internal only antennas mean that I have to orient the whole device for best reception.

Overall Review: I use them as bridges to avoid running ethernet cables. II use them with a Dlink DIR 825 wireless router.
