AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the performance of the wireless signal repeater. They say it works well, has consistent performance, and works flawlessly together. It has a solid connection and solid throughput for streaming, and the speed doesn't seem noticeably different when connected on either original or extended network. This allows for fast access to stream anything on the Roku device.

Customers dislike the reset button on the wireless signal repeater. They mention that it resets itself repeatedly under load, reboots randomly, and turns on and off randomly. The reset button doesn't always work as well, and it has to be reset multiple times. Customers also say that the device goes offline for no reason and never reconnects. They also mention that the unit would crash every 2-3 days from overheating.

Pros:
* No wires, cords, or antennas--very compact, unobtrusive design. I can still use the outlet plug above this extender for my vacuum or space heater. Woohoo!
* Super easy installation. No joke: if I can install these babies, you can too!
* Reset themselves after power outages. We've lost power several times since we bought these extenders, and I haven't had to reprogram anything.
* Don't have to remember yet another device name--simply used the router name -ext.
Cons:
* Price. I bought these on Amazon when they were on sale, and they were still rather costly. However, the consistent performance and ease of installation by far outweighs the price in my estimation, so I am a VERY satisfied customer.
Highly recommend these extenders to anyone who needs to broaden their WiFi range. If it took me 1.5 hours to plug a couple of these in, most tech-savvy people could probably knock it out within 20-30 minutes, tops.
5 stars and two thumbs up!
There are three setup methods for the DAP-1520
- Using the WPA button
- Using the web interface (from a web browser on a computer)
- Using the D-Link setup app on an iPhone, etc.
The first two methods failed for me, while the third method (the app) was successful. I think the first method failed because my base station's WPA button doesn't do what it should.
To install the DAP-1520, the first thing I did was put the unit into an outlet near my WiFi base station (which is an ActionTec WCB3000N WiFi Extender). Pressing the WPA button on the base station (for several seconds) and then walking over to the DAP-1520 and pressing its WPA button would not create a connection. As I said, this appears to be an ActionTec problem.
Then I tried using the web browser (Firefox on Windows 7). None of the recommended URLs could connect to the DAP-1520. I tried http://dlinkapp.local. I tried the URL on the configuration card - http://dlinkappxxxx.local where xxxx is specific to the unit. I tried the IP address 192.168.0.50 as indicated in the quick install manual. My ActionTec’s IP address is 192.168.1.18.
Finally I found the iPhone app. It found the DAP-1520 via WiFi and walked me quickly through the setup. It worked quite well.
Also, the quick install guide also says the MAC ID of the unit is on a label on the side of the unit. It’s not. It’s printed on the carton.

I am writing this review after more than one month of use.
Pros:
Simple to configure
Does its job as per specs
Dual band helps connection speed
Sleek
Cons:
I am not able to keep my main router SSID hidden
Used the iPhone app to set it up, really easy to do. Now able to use both frequencies from my router anywhere in the house. Great product and a great price, would defiantly recommend.
And the seller and Amazon won't lift a finger to help
