Xtreme N Duo is the latest addition to the Award-Winning Xtreme N product family. The DAP-1555 works with next generation dualband (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11n wireless devices as well as legacy 802.11a/b/g products. The D-Link Xtreme N Duo MediaBridge is designed for users looking to get a true HD wireless connection that can handle multiple High-Definition video streams throughout the house.
The Xtreme N Duo MediaBridge (DAP-1555) with MediaBand technology allows you to easily upgrade any router to support streaming of High-Definition (HD) multimedia content in your home over a wireless connection. Connect up to 5 Ethernet-enabled devices in your entertainment center to the MediaBridge, such as Game Consoles, Digital Video Recorders (DVR), and Digital Media Adapters (DMA) all at the same time. You can also upgrade your network to support dualband wireless streaming by connecting a DAP-1555 to your current router.
The DAP-1555 introduces MediaBand technology, which is the best technology available that helps provide a stable high-performance wireless link for streaming multiple High-Definition videos. MediaBand achieves this by operating in a clear wireless band to avoid interference that may slow down and limit the range of current wireless technologies like 802.11b/g and draft 802.11n. MediaBand is backwards compatible with legacy 802.11 wireless devices, so you can easily connect and help enable a better signal using D-Link MediaBand technology.
Delivering superior wireless performance, clarity, and coverage, the Xtreme N Duo MediaBridge (DAP-1555) is the ideal addition for your wireless network in the home.
The D-Link Xtreme N Duo High-Definition MediaBridge allows you to easily upgrade any router to support streaming of High-Definition (HD) multimedia content in your home over a wireless connection. Use two MediaBridge adapters for optimal performance: connect one MediaBridge to your router and place the second MediaBridge in your entertainment center. At your entertainment center, you can connect up to 5 Ethernet-enabled devices to the MediaBridge, such as Game Consoles, Digital Video Recorders (DVR), and Digital Media Adapters (DMA) all at the same time.

Strengths: Good wireless bridge with fast transfer rates.
Weaknesses: I heard this item has been discontinued....only a few months old?
Summary: I use it to wirelessly connect my game consoles to my DIR-655 router. It works pretty good, but it can be tricky to set up.

Strengths: Rare that it can be used a as 802.11n Ethernet bridge.
Weaknesses: Seems to be slightly underpowered.
Summary: This is the only draft N Ethernet bridge on the market, that I know of. Bridges are useful for devices that can't use a newer draft N adapters. This bridge supports WPA2 which will also enhance performance over older WEP and WPA security. The bridge does a good job, but I have other adapters that get stronger connect signals.

Strengths: Great 802.11n 5ghz wireless bridge, in fact the only one I know of.
Weaknesses: None that I can think of.
Summary: I bought this with the sole purpose of connecting another room full of game consoles and a media center pc to my home network. I already have an Apple Airport Extreme which was set to the 5ghz only 802.11n band so that I don't have all the interference I was having on the 2.4ghz 802.11b/g/n band. I had already tried several 802.11g/n 2.4ghz network bridges previously that worked but, there was no way I could stream HD video across that solution as there was just to much interference where I live from all the other 2.4ghz devices around my neighborhood. As soon as I got the DAP-1555, I set it up as a bridge on the 802.11n 5ghz only range and it started working immediately. From the research I have done both the Apple Airport Extreme and the Dlink DAP-1555 both use the same Atheros chip which made compatibility a non issue. Suffice to say, now I get a consistent transfer rate that is well above the threshold for full HD video.
