Applications:
• Adding wireless bridge or access point capability to an existing home network.
• Connecting entertainment devices such as gaming consoles, DVRs, NAS devices, and digital media adapters.
• Streaming HD multimedia content over a wireless connection.
• Bridging two different wired networks wirelessly.
• Providing Gigabit wired connectivity for up to four Ethernet-enabled devices.
• Suitable for home entertainment areas, media rooms, and small office network expansion.
Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the D-Link DAP-1522 for customers who need a flexible bridge / access point with multiple Gigabit LAN ports.
• It is suitable for media rooms, gaming areas, and home entertainment setups where several wired devices need to connect wirelessly to the main network.
• The selectable 2.4GHz / 5GHz operation is useful when the customer needs either wider compatibility or lower-interference wireless performance for HD streaming.
• The 4 Gigabit LAN ports make it more practical than single-port bridge devices when connecting multiple wired devices in the same location.
• This model is recommended for Wireless N bridge and AP applications, not for modern Wi-Fi 5 / Wi-Fi 6 performance or business-grade PoE ceiling access point deployment.
