 Too easy to setup!Nov 13, 2009
I bought this to connect my DVR and slingbox in my livingroom to my wireless network. The setup couldn't have been easier-- although, this assumes you have an existing wireless router that supports WPS (Wifi Protected Setup). It literally was as easy as pushing the button on the bridge and pushing the button on the router, and waiting for them to synchronize. Then, just plug in your wired devices, and that's it.
In my case, I was bridging it to a Linksys WRT310N, and connecting a Dish Network VIP622 DVR and Slingbox. I don't know how much more difficult it would be if the wireless router you're connecting it to didn't support WPS. You'd have to delve into manual configuration in that case.
Works great-Not the easiest thing to setupNov 02, 2009
The D-Link DAP1522 Xtreme is working great. I have it hooked up at my entertainment center connected to my Dish DVR and a streaming TV player. It is located about 30 feet from my router, thru 2 walls and doesn't seem to have a problem with the signal. I would have given this 5 stars but the D-Link DAP1522 Xtreme was a bear to setup. If you buy this item you had better have some advanced technical skills. It doesn't help that the manual is very confusing. The manual (CD) has a lot of information, but is not written for the average user. All in all, if you have the patience to wade through the setup, you will be happy with the performance.
 Used and BrokenOct 26, 2009
I ordered the DAP-1522 and the Dlink DIR-655 so I can network together my growing collection of connected electronics. I had no issues getting the DIR-655 up and running. I am happy with it so far. The DAP-1522 is another story.
First, the product I received from Amazon was USED! There was no plastic wrapping box and all the cables were undone inside. There was even somebody's handwriting on some of the documentation. I think it was his/her SSID. So this did not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling for the next step.
I guess the reason this DAP-1522 was used is because it does not work. At first, I was able to connect to it hardwired through the DIR-655 using the 192.168.0.50 address. But for the life of me, I could not get the two to connect wirelessly. I tried everything that was suggested on all the forums including disabling the clone MAC address. Nothing worked. After a hour or so of trying, I suddenly could no longer connect to the DAP-1522 through the hardwired connection. Now when I power up the unit, it does not even know if it is a bridge or an access point, regardless of the switch setting.
I have nothing bad to say about Amazon.com. I have been shopping on Amazon for over ten years and this is the first time I received something that has been broken by a previous person. Amazon has a great return/ refund policy that helps the pain a little. But given my experience with this product and the similar issues I have read on all the forums, I would NOT recommend DAP-1522.
 very good product, no IPv6Oct 19, 2009
I'm using it mainly to connect a PS3 to a MythTV server for HD Streaming as the 802.11g on the PS3 wasn't quite cutting it. It was very easy to connect to a DLink DGL 4500 by pressing the WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) on the dap 1522, then pressing the same button on the DGL 4500 within 90 seconds. After pressing the WPS button on both devices, the DAP 1522 configured itself and all is working seamlessly except for one thing. The network that the DGL 4500 is on has a 6to4 router connected to it. IPv6 is NOT able to cross the bridge. If the DAP was IPv6 capable, I would give it 5 stars. Nonetheless, I am able to stream the HD video from my MythTV server to the PS3 with bandwidth to spare. If WPS is not an option, the configuration page is simple and it's easy to manually setup the wireless.
DLink, please add IPv6 support to all your existing consumer products!!!

Defective product and poor customer service.Oct 13, 2009
I purchased a defective DAP 1522. After spending two days with technical service talking to technicians with such heavy accents that I could not understand them, it was determined that the product was defective and I could send it back for replacement. The "company policy" is to have the customer pay to send Dlink's defective merchandise back to them. I was told that I should have read the warranty on this product before purchasing it. I went through two Dlink DIR 825 routers before I finally got one that worked. Shame on Dlink for such poor quality control and poor customer service.
