I had not made any additional settings on my laptop, did not change any tcp settings, change any network or subnet codes (the only change I made was to turn off wireless). I then checked the browser, and BAM, just like that, I had a lightning fast connection. I confirmed to make sure wireless was turned off (I was a few feet from the 655, so I had to check). I then opened some software to confirm that there was a new device on my network, and it clearly showed the new DLink device, with no issues. Finally, I opened up the DLink 1522 software (entering the 192.168.0.50 into my browser) and the correct page came up, showing all of the appropriate readings. So much for spending the afternoon!
The next test was to turn off the device, then re-power, mimicking the physical move it would soon make to the media room to strengthen my signal to my Sony BDP for Neflix, and my receiver's internet connection (which must be by Ethernet - while the Sony can operate on wireless, the signal has been slow loading up Netflix). When I powered up, the orange light immediately began to flash, another light showed the connection to one of the four ports connected to my laptop, and the laptop Ethernet signal worked flawlessly. For now, no need to re-push button or re-establish, it just worked.
Finally, the move to the media room. I was not sure if the signal would be much better than the wireless signal I currently had - after all, the bridge takes the same wireless signal and just outputs it to Ethernet. However, both the Sony and Onkyo receiver are in a heavy wooden cabinet, and this may affect the wireless signal - the 1522 could be positioned anywhere nearby, not enclosed. So I powered up the 1522, noticed assuredly the orange light flashing indicating bridge mode, and attached first the Onkyo receiver. It immediately read the signal as being present, and I happily coasted through the menu offering internet radio, Napster, Pandora, etc. I tested Internet Radio, was amazed at how great a few stations sounded, and tried Pandora. Once I logged on, this too was nearly CD quality (and showed album art on my HD TV).
Next I connected the Sony BDP, and walked through resetting this Blu-Ray device to receive Ethernet instead of wireless. It took a few tries, at first not receiving, and then receiving a signal but no internet. On the third try, it indicated a wired connection. I first went to YouTube, and the screen came right into the index page for YouTube. With wireless, it took several seconds to fully load that menu. I clicked on "most popular" and instantly was watching an incredible video of a boat off of Japan roller coasting through the biggest tsunami waves. No little spinning dial (the Sony icon for loading), just instant video. I next tried Slacker, and again, no delay to getting to the menu. The station loaded instantly (again, with wireless there was some lag time), and sounded just as well as the wireless. Of course, these are less demanding sources, mostly for audio. The final test would be Netflix, which in wireless mode takes at least 45 seconds to go from clicking the link, seeing your queue, selecting a movie, then loading the movie. Sometimes longer. The Netflix interface each time lets you know it is connecting, loading, loading and loading. With the 1522, it cut the time in half, maybe even less. And the connection was perfect, with hardly any ghosting (or whatever that effect is - the picture looks like a watercolor painting instead of sharp and clear colors). I was able to switch from an episode of Lost to an episode of 24 in less time than it would take to physically swap out DVD's of the same two series. This is Netflix streamed as it was meant to be.
I was curious, and did one final test. I connected my laptop to the 1522 (which now lit up a third blue light on the front connecting to the laptop) and ran some internet "Speed tests". Then I compared my wireless card in the laptop (after unplugging the 1522) and also did the same speed tests. There was not much difference, so I must assume that the 1522 may not necessarily boost the wireless signal it receives. The difference was that I could move the 1522 wherever I liked anywhere in the room (subject to the length of Ethernet cable) and clear of other electronic devices, and that thick wooden cabinet, which makes a difference in signal reception. Obviously, I cannot move the Sony or Onkyo to get a better wireless signal as they are firmly on a shelf in a cabinet. Of course, YMMV, but I recommend testing the 1522, as it may indeed boost the wireless signal enough to make a huge difference, since my use of Speed Tests was not in any way scientific.
Bottom Line, if you are looking for an enhancement for distant wireless streaming, or you have a component(s) that can only do internet via wired Ethernet, the DLink 1522 can be a GREAT SOLUTION.
Installation #1:
As with other reviewers, the installation can become quite tricky if you aren't really familiar with networking terms. I am extremely proficient with computers, but lack networking knowledge. The DLINK's customer service is top notch! When I set up my bridge it was very simple. I have a dlink 655 router and a desktop computer hardwired(which means there's an ethernet cord constantly attached to the router) into the router. I plugged one end of the bridge into the router and accessed the web configuration page(just type dlinkap into your address bar of your browser). Simple. The web configuration has a wizard that guides you through the entire process...I pressed the arrow button on the bridge, and pressed the arrow button on my router and done! Unplug the unit take it where you need it, plug it in, and BAM...connected...WITHOUT WIRES! My router is close to 60-70 feet away, through doors and walls. My N wireless card in my laptop reads around 3-4 bars in the room I have my bridge in, when I connect my laptop to the bridge webpages load even faster. Absolutely no hick ups within netflix on my blu ray player. Downloading content is fast.
Installation #2:
After feeling like I could conquer the world with the easy setup I had encountered at home, I proudly walked into my friends house to connect his unit. I figured a good 10-15 minutes like it took me would be all the time I needed to spend. Boy was I wrong. He did not have a PC hardwired to the router, so I used his laptop (if this is you, make sure you have an extra ethernet cable if not, buy one). I connected the laptop to the router (which is a linksys G router) and connected the bridge to the router with the supplied ethernet cable, and then attempted to connect to the web config page using dlinkap in the address bar. No luck. It kept on telling me that there was a connection problem with my internet. I tried hardwiring the bridge to the laptop and accessing the webpage like that, no luck. Finally after using every curse word known to man, I called customer service. HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF! They guided me step by step on how to set up a static IP so I can access the webpage (which the manual lacks), also, the bridge stayed hardwired to the laptop NOT the router while I was setting up the bridge. After a 20 minute conversation with customer service, my friend was up and running. His bridge is 20 feet away from his router, in the same room. He just doesn't like wires...I don't blame him.
We both are running quality internet wirelessly without the hassle of buying every propriety accessory for all of our home theater needs. In the future, the internet will not only be on the devices I mentioned, but will also be in your tv. Samsung is currently in development to release a TV that has an operating system identical to the operating system you use on your computer. I'm sure it will have an option to buy some expensive accessory so you can have wi fi internet, but if you buy this bridge there will be no need. With 4 ports for ethernet connectivity, you really can not go wrong. Keep in mind, if you need more ports just buy a 10.00 10/100 switch, or unplug one of your devices. Hope this review helps!!
****UPDATE 1/26/2014****
It's almost been 4 years since my initial review and mine and my friends unit still works great. He purchased an internet ready TV with WIFI abilities, but went back to plugging it into the bridge for a better connection. I still have my blu ray, xbox, ps3 and iMac attached to it and I have had no issues with connections at all. I've since upgraded my router from the DLINK to an Apple Airport Extreme and had a few issues with connecting to it at first, but since I recently graduated with a Networking degree, I was able to skip the customer service call this time :). The Airport uses a different IP address at first connect, so it's important to either change the Airport IP settings, or access the DLINK and change the IP settings to match the Airport settings to get it to work. If you would like further help getting this bridge to work for you, comment below and I'll try and help you out.
Final review - since this product is still holding up strong after 4 years, I HIGHLY recommend it for any type of access/bridging needs.

The wireless signal was adequate for the laptop, etc. however she works in IT as a telecom analyst and needed to also have 2 VOIP desktop phones which required a physical hook up. What to do?
The DAP152 Bridge/Access filled the bill very nicely. This unit can be set up to work as either a wireless repeater or a physical dock (access point). It connected wirelessly to the main router (also a DLink product) in the basement and now provides a local docking port for the 2 phones. Everything's working reliably and solved the problem without running any wiring. Highly recommended.
I just purchased a new audio/video stereo receiver and this receiver was placed in my living room. I was interested in getting a "wired" ethernet connection hooked up to my new receiver as the new receiver has a number of features that are only available providing an ethernet connection is established. Since there is no wired ethernet connections located in this room, I was looking for a solution.
I did some homework on the internet, and found this D-Link Wireless ethernet bridge. Since I already have a D-Link wireless router, I was hopeful that they would work well together. I ordered this device and set it up as per the instructions.
It has been configured / setup as an ethernet bridge and as per my hopes, everything is working great.
Set up took me about an hour or so but I'm guessing most people could have it set up in around 30 minutes.
The instructions were clear and easy to follow.
Now, that I have the ethernet bridge set up and running, I've got both my A/V receiver hooked up as well as my apple TV.
With having the A/V receiver, I can now connect to my PC and play the music files stored on my PC. This is a pretty cool feature.
Also, I've connected my apple TV up to the wired ethernet connection. In the past, there have been times when movies would stop playing because the wireless connection could not keep up. Now, that I have the apple TV plugged in with a wired ethernet connection, I've never had an issue with downloading movies. When I read the specs on this device, it stated that the 5 GHZ frequency was optimized for downloading / streaming HD content. It's still early, but I believe my downloads are faster now.
Since my wireless router is an older model, I was not able to use the WPS setup. Rather, I simply used the manual setup. This was not an issue as the instructions were clear and easy to follow.
I cannot comment on using this device as an access point, since I'm simply using it as an ethernet bridge.
This D-Link DAP 1522 has met all my expectations and I would recommend it to others looking for an ethernet bridge solution.
If I was to have a negative comment, the LED lights are really bright. When you're watching TV, the blinking LED lights can be a distraction. I addressed this by simply placing a piece of "folded paper" in front of the unit. No more problem!
But it also works from a wired link to wireless access point.
I got two of these so I could set up a wireless link between the floors of my building, where I required a cable network connection for a device but there was not any cabling in the walls to the second floor.
Cheers
