Hello, as the title says, I have a DAP-1522 and I need to use it as a Wireless Repeater/Range Extender, I am using the DIR-655 as a router. Another way that would work would be to setup up the DAP-1522 as an Access Point and use the WiFi to provide internet access if possible, i would prefer the last one because then I could tell when I am on the other networks WiFi. Thanks in advance and if you need any clarification just ask and I will reply as soon as possible.
Need to use DAP-1522 as Wireless Repeater/Range Extender with DIR-655 router.

An AP needs a cable between the routers. This device can run in "bridge" mode but it is best to think of this as wireless nic card for a pc that you hook the the ethernet port.
This device can not be used as a wireless repeater where the signal from the main router is wireless and it also transmits a wireless signal to the end clients.
If you can run a cable you will likely get excellent results using this as a AP.
If you need a repeater you would likely be best served by buying another box like this. You would one in bridge mode and the other in AP mode. The first would talk to the main router and the second would talk to the end clients. When you build your own repeater like this you have 2 different radios that you normally run on different channels so you do not pay the huge data loss penalty you get when you buy the silly range extender/repeater things that receive and transmit on the same exact channel.
