D-Link Wi-Fi Dual Band Range Extender Review

I have reviewed 4-5 Wi-Fi extenders over the past couple of years, and I usually dread the setup. Expecting no less pain this time, I was shocked when I plugged in the D-Link DAP-1520 Wi-Fi Dual Band Range Extender it was shockingly simple.

1. Plug it in
2. Connect to it via Wifi
3. Configure it to connect to my homes Wi-Fi
4. It reboots and your finished.

All told 5 minutes to set it up that includes opening the package and plugging it in. Next was the speed test. I tested with Speed Test on my primary home connection and had 50mbps down and 5mbps up to a server 2400 miles away. Then I disconnected from my home network and connected to the Range Extender and run the same speed test. 47mbps down and 5mbps up.

My installation point was about 50 feet from my primary wireless router, the kids are happy no because they have a strong signal in the back bedrooms. Great device at a $69.00 you cannot ask for a more easy way to extend your primary Wi-Fi signal.
