D-Link's Media Bridge Is A Winner [Posted on 2008-01-07]
Application: Bridge Mode (Currently Running N/G mode - 2.4 Ghtz - Averaging 78 mbps and registering 52% signal strength - Bridge about 150 ft from Router).
Why did I buy this??? Well, my home is too large for Wireless "G" devices and the Xbox 360 USB Wireless A/B/G Adapter did not have the bandwidth and coverage to connect to my wireless router. This distance contributed to slow, choppy games and sometimes the Xbox didn't even connect at all. I have a D-Link DGL-4500 Wireless Gaming Router which is my Access Point (AP) and have had no problems setting up and configuring this Media Bridge to it.
Be advised though...Don't expect to get wired LAN connection speeds, because you only get that from a wired LAN connection. Possibly could obtain better performance from this bridge with another Media Bridge connected to my AP(max performance), but who has another $200 to spend. Anyways, I will say that it's far better than any "G" adapter/bridge/access point on the market. Noticeable improvement over "G" and well worth the purchase. Thanks D-Link!

I've got this product in the early Dec. '07 and it is the best wireless device I've ever tried. Extremely good speed and impressive range. But be careful - If you want to use it as a router - you are out of luck. This is a MediaBridge and acts as Access Point only!. Initially I tried to connect it straight to my DSL modem/router and to connect couple of wired desktop PC's as well as a wireless laptop. But since my DSL router is giving me only 1 IP address the first connected computer was OK, everything else was with no connection at all. So I had to put another router (cheap wired one) between the DSL modem/router and the DAP-1555 to assure that all my pc's will receive proper IP's and connect to the network.
