easy as sin to set up

Needed an extender to gt 5G to an X-Box other side of the (small) house. This was the third repeater I bought. The first didn't do 5G (oops), the second, an Eligiant, had an absurdly confusing set up, including a number or security selections you are asked to make on screen that are not in the instruction book, and therefore you have no reference by which to decide WTF to set any of it at. Yeesh. THIS little number is 5G, easy as sin to set up, clearly secure, and pumps that signal across the house like a champ. D-Link DAP-1520, you can come to all my birthday parties from now on.

Over delivers for the price

I would give this product 10 stars if I could. Set-up was very easy using the free app on my iPhone; just plug it in, connect to the device by selecting the device SSID and using the password printed on the back of the unit. Answer the questions and press done to reboot the device. The whole process took less than 5 minutes. Now I admit I downloaded and read the instructions before it arrived, so I was able to quickly go through the process. Now I read several of the 1 star reviews before ordering and I saw a lot of complaints that is did nothing, or stopped working after a short period of time. I think this might be because people use the same SSID and password for the extended network band as they used for the router. Then, when they use a client device (cell phone, printer, etc.) they mistakenly connect to the router and not the D-Link Range Extender. Then when they get to the area of the building that they need to connect to the closer D-Link, they are still connected to the far away router and they get poor connection. To add to the confusion, when you leave the house and then come back the client (e.g., cell phone) will auto connect to the first network it recognises and it may be the router and not the extender. Just an idea. My extender is so good, that the 2.4 GHz band covers every square inch of my 2000 sq. ft. home from basement to 2nd floor (it is located on the 2nd floor, the router is on the first floor). That's amazing since my router won't do that (which is why I got the extender in the first place!). I took my iPad for a walk and I was over 100 feet away from my house before I dropped to 3 bars, and I got about 150 feet away before I lost signal. Now my house has walls of plaster and lath, which contain a metal net to hold the plaster. That means my house has a metal barrier that makes it extra tough for wireless to pass through, so all in all I am impressed with the performance of this device. Pretty good for $19. I also checked online reviews. This device has been around since 2014, and the last firmware update was 2015. Every reputable reviewer gave this device a great review and recommended it highly. And back then it sold for about $100! Go ahead and order it. Read the instructions, use a different SSID from your router to be sure you are connected to the D-Link and enjoy whole house WiFi. You won't be disappointed.

Simple setup BUT requires Patience!

I wanted a device that didn't require a lot of set up. The directions were seemingly straightforward BUT the sequence had to be followed and took time; i.e. wait for the LED light to change indicating that the unit has synced with the modem. I wasted a lot of time and got frustrated trying to hurry the process. Once the device is synced to the modem it doesn't have to go through the process again if you move a different electrical outlet. My router is in a 2nd floor closet and I use an iPad downstairs in the kitchen. Wifi is occasionally weak or spotty, but I also didn't want to go to a lot of expense. I had to move the d-link around to get the iPad to consistently link but it appears to be working. I am not concerned about speed or capacity just connectivity.

Set up was pretty easy (the steps can take a little bit of ...

I did (almost too much) research on a solution to be able to cut the cable and switch to an online "cable" service via Roku because we only have DSL Internet, but I really wanted to see if I could figure out how to make this work. Before this purchase the Roku had worked, but only with a "fair" or "good" signal strength connection and the online TV service we tried came in, but things came up slowly, weren't clear, and paused during broadcast/play. Although this is labeled just as a WiFi extender it made a SIGNIFICANT difference in the power of my WiFi at the other end of my condo (the modem is in our office area at one end; the TV at the other). Set up was pretty easy (the steps can take a little bit of waiting time--if it doesn't find the connection the first time, just run the wizard again). I set up both 2.4 GHz and 5 and I opted to use the 5 for only the TV--just to try and cut down on any other interference. I had also moved my modem up higher in the office (that alone improved a bit of signal strength as shown via a Speedtest.net before-and-after comparison in the room), but this WiFi extender is what really did the trick. At first, partly because of the guides for placement, I thought I should try to be closer to the modem--maybe just past halfway from the modem and slightly closer to the TV. It helped, but not enough. Then I plugged it into a wall in our front hallway because the TV was just on the other side and that was the turning point. Signal strength for the Roku then came up as "excellent" and now things come up faster on the TV and we are using our HD antenna and online service to watch shows. I turned in the cable box and we're officially cable free. :) I will note that my condo is not large--so even putting the extender at the other end near the TV itself doesn't mean it's super far (4 rooms away), but my purpose was to get the Roku help and it wanted it close by so that was my guide in placement.

Love the minimalist design

It works. For the price it's hard to beat. I had a dead spot in a room. * plugged this in a hallway about halfway between the main router and the computer that couldn't get signal. * got the computer (with no signal form the main router) onto the local wi fi signal from this device * logged into this extender's home page * had the extender find my router's wi fi through the wizard search feature (it did take awhile which worried me) * added in my main routers wi fi password * the wizard did it's thing and i'm online had it for about a week and no complaints. Love the minimalist design. I also like that as I walk by i see the green light letting me know everything is working. Again, can't beat it for the price for my needs.

Does the job

Ordered this for my 80 yr old parents. They have a large house with the wifi situated at one end and Dad's Alexa at the other end which received a fairly weak wifi signal. This device was very easy to install, even for me, a certified klutz at any kind of installation. Dad can now listen to Pandora through his Alexa and not have it cut out and unexpectedly shut down on him. I can also use my Kindle to program his Alexa, or show him videos and I get a good strong signal.

It is very easy to do but it just needs to be known

I have a single story 2100 sq ft house. My main router is in the front of the house. I could hardly receive any WiFi signal at all in the back part of the house until I purchased this product. I placed the D-Link Extender in a room that is in the middle of my house. Now I have full WiFi throughout my house. I can watch Netflix and Youtube vidoes on our handheld devices in any part of the house now where as I could not do so in the before I purchased this. It was very simple to install. The only thing to note is... when I walk from the front part of our house to the rear of our house, I have to disconnect my handheld device (cell phone or IPad) from my main router WiFi signal and reconnect to this D-Link Extender. It is very easy to do but it just needs to be known. Phones and IPads do not seamlessly hand off the signal from a router to the Extender on their own. But if you have a stationary device (such as a desktop computer) that does not move to different locations, then this is not a concern.

Reliable, A little difficult to set-up but works well with no additional issues.

I purchased two of these for use as WIFI clients. One for in-house use and the other was used with extended antennae to receive wifi in a steel building away from the house. Both worked well although setting them up as clients is a little more difficult than using as access points. they work reliably and well, though and I will probably use more in the future. I would recommend this product to those who normally set-up WIFI devices; you must configure the computer's IPV4 address initially to access the DAP-1360.

Easy setup easy to sue, maybe not fast enough for online gaems

I was looking for a extender with cheap price but easy to setup and does the job. When found this D-Link, I kind of like it, but hesitated by the reviews, the price is good, it's one of the cheapest on the market, I was using D-Link products for many years, so I decided give it try. It's very easy to setup and use, no problem to watch any video on Youtube, Netflix, and browse internet, but my son notice is not fast enough to play online video games.

Great Dual Band Range Extender for the Money

Works as advertised. I have a TP-Link Archer C2 AC750 dual band WiFi router. The range isn't the greatest, especially from my family room where the router is connected, to my living room and kitchen. I plugged the range extender into an outlet near my router, pressed the WPS button on my router, pressed the button on the extender, and about a minute later I had a green light. I tested my speed and got 52 Mbps down and 5.2 Mbps up (I pay for 50/5). Then I tested the extender in four different outlets near the low signal area until I found the sweet spot. All worked, but the download speeds ranged from 8 to about 20 Mbps on three of the four. The sweet spot gave me 100% connection anywhere I had prior low performance, with full up and download speeds. It even works at about 80% signal level back in the family room. That means telling my devices to forget all the other networks so that it connects only to the extender is not a problem. I can now microwave away in my kitchen while connected to the 5 GHz band without signal loss.
