Title: What should I use?
Post by: schis on February 01, 2010, 12:15:49 PM

Because the house has radiant heating I have to use DHP-301 to connect the computers (all pcs) on both floors to the internet....works great.  I now have a laptop that I want to set up on the upper floor (the master DHP-301 is downstairs connected to our internet router) what should I use to set up a wireless connection?  Can I simply connect a DAP-1522 to the DHP-301? or do you recommend something else.

All comments appreciated.

Yes it is possible to connect the DAP as an AP to a DHP-301.
To recommend something else, you should tell more details.
- do you need wireless N or 5 GHz
- longer distance or walls between Laptop and AP ?
- need additional LAN ports at the AP

As the DAP-1522 has only two internal antennas it has only a short range compared with other AP with external antennas.
