 Extended my Wifi Lan very well August 24, 2010
B. Levine (New York)
I had a wired network and added WiFi later.
With 3 floors in the house and Wifi router in basement near
the cable box, WiFi didn't reach well upstairs.
So I hung this product off a wired hub in our top floor
and now devices can connect from either of the 2 WiFi stations.
For anyone who started out wired and has none at all, same setup
works, but you need to install near a wired hub/switch/router.
Of course you can also use as a wireless extender, to have
2 wifi stations communicate and plug in wired devices to this unit,
hence this product widens your wired network, wouldn't extend range
for your Wifi devices that way. Didn't test for that, many other reviewers
seem to cover that configuration. My config is the original idea of what
an Access Point was designed to do, and this product does it well.
Highly recommend, now have Dlink 4500 router and this Access point,
and both work pretty well. I have never found any brand to be perfect
but Dlink seems better than most "out of the box".
D-Link Air Premier N Dual Band August 16, 2010
Rudimar L. Rayos (Colorado Springs, CO)
I was getting network drops from XXXXX brand wireless router because it couldn't handle the load. I decided to run a wired(D-Link Gamefuel) router and an "external" wireless access point. since then my network has been running trouble free. This D-Link wireless access point is well worth the money. Though it says Dual Band you can only run 2.4ghz N if you want to run A/B/G. 5ghz N mode can only be ran on that freq if that is chosen. The static ip setup was kinda hassling, and if your going to the IP of the Wireless naturally, has to be in the same IP range as the router(network). It's got all kinds of features and even has a DHCP function, though I leave it all up to the router. Zero drops, plenty range even in 2.4ghz mode. I wouldn't get anything else for this price.
 Great Performer, Setup Documentation Could Be Improved August 11, 2010
P. Corning (San Francisco, CA USA)

This would easily be a 5-star product with some minor improvements to setup documentation and configuration screens.
Pros:
* Great wireless range
* Compact design
* Reasonably fast re-boots as it is configured
Cons:
* In-box documentation is too skimpy for many people to set it up without a support call
* Configuration application lacks the supporting instructions supplied by other manufacturers (NetGear)
* A little pricey - but performance makes up for it
I use a LinkSys router in my home network, which has a default IP of 192.168.1.1. The DAP-2553 uses a default IP of 192.168.0.50, so have to change its IP to one that uses 192.168.1.x for it to work, and the in-box documentation does not tell you how do do this. Fortunately, D-Link's excellent product support got me going in a few minutes, and without grilling me about the product serial number or when I had purchased it (NetGear's support is a pain).
If you're setting up one of these on a LinkSys network, here's what you'll need to do:
* Connect your DAP-2553 directly to a computer using the enclosed Ethernet cable (with your computer's WiFi turned off)
* Manually set your computer's IP address to 192.168.0.54 (Go to Control Panel | Network | Change Adapter Settings, then right-click on Local Area Connection and select Properties. Select Internet Protocol 4, then Properties, then Use the following IP address. Put in IP, leave Subnet mask at 255.255.255.0, and set Default gateway to 192.168.0.50 to reach your DAP-2553). Hit OK.
* Open a browser and point it to 192.168.0.50
* Log in using the DAP-2553's supplied login info, and go to Basic Settings | LAN
* Set IP address to 192.168.1.50 (this puts it on the map for your LinkSys router)
* Set the default gateway to your LinkSys router's address - probably 192.168.1.1
* Select Apply
* Remember to re-set your computer's IP address back to DHCP, or whatever it was before (Assuming you were using DHCP - Go to Control Panel | Network | Change Adapter Settings, then right-click on Local Area Connection and select Properties. Select Internet Protocol 4, then Properties, then Obtain an IP address automatically). Hit OK.
* Disconnect your DAP-2553 from the computer and connect the DAP-2553 into your network.
* If it works, you should now find your DAP-2553 at 192.168.1.50 and be able to finish wireless configuration to your preferences.
* Rejoice.
Standard disclaimers apply. Good luck.
Great Access Point August 10, 2010
davige (USA)
I'm an IT professional who swore by Netgear ProSafe products. However, when they replaced the WG102 with the WG103 I found myself swearing at it. The Netgear WG103 is the most buggy POS access point that I have ever worked with. So, I decided to try the DLink DAP-2553. It's GREAT. Setup was quick and easy. The wireless N Dual-band is a plus. Range and speed are amazing. I have no complaints. I am now using DLink business class products for all new installations. Goodbye Netgear.
Super fast, reliable 802.11n wireless access point July 25, 2010
D. Schwartz (Los Angeles, CA)
This product is the real deal. I experienced over 120 mbps throughput over 5ghz when in the same room (with laptop less than 10 feet away, with all the wireless nic's power settings turned off (Intel 5300 nic)).
This product offers class leading speed, reliability and POE! All for $99! Everything about this w.a.p. is fantastic except for it's QOS setting. When enabled, I experienced huge throughput losses. So, keep the QOS setting turned off on the w.a.p. Also, it's not simultaneous dual band. So if you want both a 2.4ghz and a 5ghz w.a.p. then this is not the unit for you.
If you only care about 5ghz, then look no further as D-link has hit a home run with this product.
