Thanks a lot for this info Dan, that's very enlightening! Especially this:
- The cool part of a DAP-1522 is the switch on the back, which can toggle it between AP mode and bridge mode. There was a time when we were doing some construction downstairs and had relocated bits of the home theater into our bedroom. You flip it from AP to bridge, and now everything you plug into it is back on your network.
Even though I understood Tom's explanation, I couldn't really think what this bridge mode was good for. Your explanation really cleared things up for me. This switch is essentially a way of making wired ethernet devices wireless, by using a dedicated wireless switch.
Thanks for the info!
