Best WAP I've ever owned!
By Solarrdadd on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2013
i needed/wanted to replace my aging dlink dap-1522 and wanted something that would give me coverage throughout our entire house. the 1522 was a good ap, but, it couldn't reach the top floor of our 3 story condo/townhouse. i purchased the companion router for my daughter who is in college and it worked very well and never dropped out or gave her any problems and in almost a year, she has never had to reset it. i saw this companion wap and being a previous dlink customer, i went for it based on the strength of my daughters usage and the advertisements. i went to amazon, found it at a great price and purchased it. got it, had it installed and secured in just minutes. i've got full strength throughout the entire 3 floors of the house. all rooms, even with the doors closed, this includes the bathroom too! we can also sit in the front or back of the house outside and still get plenty of signal. so far, i've not had any problems with it; glad i chose this product to go with. i never had a true worry about it working, all my other dlink products worked and this one is no exception! dlink puts out great products and i've never had a real problem with any of them. they have all worked as advertised and have all gotten better as they have advanced over time. i highly recommend this for anyone who needs a good wap for coverage to a large area. oh yeah, our walls are plaster/lath construction and lots of metal bar joist and the signal is still full on every floor. put your fears to rest! oh yeah, support, i did update the firmware as soon as i got it since one was available, it took without a problem. very happy i got this and at a great price too!

DAP-1525 Setup is Tricky
By Scott Merrill on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014
I have a DIR-655 and wanted extend my range for some dead spots in my house. My TV was at the edge of coverage and had trouble streaming Netflix. Setup was a little tricky, and not perfectly spelled out in the manual. The product CD is just some PDFs and not a setup CD. It is useless IMO. I used Access Point Mode and One Touch Configuration with the WPS button. I initially had problems getting everything to work properly. The problem was the fact that both my router and the DAP-1525 had the same settings and were interfering with each other. This is what I did to get it to work: 1. After one touch configuration, attach Ethernet cable to the DAP-1525 and your computer. 2. Access the DAP-1525 wireless settings on your computer http://dlinkap and change the name of your network to something different. Check to see if you can see the new network. I used my iPhone. 3. Remove ethernet cable from the DAP-1525 and attach it to your existing router and access wireless settings and disable wireless. 4. Attach Ethernet cable to existing router and the DAP-1525 and done! I wasn't happy with the range extension. In fact, I saw no difference. However, what I did like was the ability to easily move the DAP-1525 to a central location of my house to make the coverage more uniform. I moved it to the attic. You basically need a place to plug it in and a hole in your roof to run the Ethernet cable. It saved me the hassle of extending all of the Ethernet cables attached to my existing router. It solved my problem with coverage and I was able to stream Netflix to my TV with no problems. I gave it 3 stars because I had to come up with my own installation plan and the fact that I saw no increase in my range. However, I am satisfied with the results.
