Wireless Bridge for Wired Devices
The DAP-1522 connects up to four Ethernet devices to a wireless network, turning game consoles, smart TVs or desktop PCs into wireless clients. It also functions as an access point when linked to a wired router, creating a new dual-band Wi-Fi network for laptops and phones. The unit suits homes with legacy 802.11 g hardware and newer 802.11 n gear alike.
Plug-in setup with bridge mode caveats
Installation is a matter of plugging the unit into mains power and following the web-based wizard, but bridge mode requires the host router to support WDS or a compatible repeater protocol. If the main router lacks that feature the Ethernet ports will not pass traffic, a common stumbling block. The 5 GHz band eases HD video streaming, yet the 2.4 GHz band remains essential for older clients.
Dual-band N with 300 Mbps link rate
The single decisive figure is the 300 Mbps wireless link rate on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands combined, delivered by 802.11 n radios. Buyers who need faster AC or AX throughput, or who require more than four wired ports, should look elsewhere.
