Customer Review: Confusing to set up. Stable to run.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a difficult time figuring out how to get into the settings page on this AP. This is my first non-router AP so I do not know if this is standard for all APs. I had to hard wire my PC to the AP, and change my computers IP to static at 192.168.0.1 I do not understand how or why this works, but that is the only way I can access the setting page. To open the settings, the IP for my device was 192.168.0.50 I am sure you could have installed the CD and it may be easier that way, but I refuse to install software like that on my PC.
Aside from setting it up, I notice it performs substantially better than my Linksys WRT160N Wireless N ROUTER. I replaced this wireless router with a wired router in a closet on my network rack, and added this AP to a drop in my living room, which is closer to where I usually use the wireless with my notebook.
With the Linksys, whenever I would try to transfer files from my DNS-323 NAS the wireless not only would it be slow, it would crash every time. Now with this D-Link AP it is only slightly faster, but is yet to crash moving multiple gigabyte sized files over the network.
This is important since my main PC that uses wireless is a 11.6" notebook without a CD drive, so what I do is create file images of all of my software CDs and store them on the NAS. I then transfer them over my network and mount them on a virtual drive as needed. Because of this my network gets plenty of traffic, and a stable WiFi network is necessary for when I do not feel like plugging into Cat6.
