Hi Thorvald .... i have exactly the same Dlink Products and Firmware versions like you ...

... and like your DAP-1522 mine also disconnects from my DIR-615 every minute or so and reconnects after
a while ... the only solution for me was also like yours to go to b/g mode instead of n/b/g ...

all other tips brought no change ....

... the 615 shows a singnale strength of 100% ... (Both boxes almost can see each other

... my 615 has a HWVersion of D1 and the 1522 a HWVersion of A1 ...

any news to the issue

I am using the 1522 as an access point only. I only connect with my laptop which has an Intel N card in it. the connection does drop every now and then. I have found that if it is slammed with data, it will drop the internet connection. I see that it keeps the local connection. I have NO other options setup in the AP. No security, no QOS or anything. Manual setup only. It is quite frustrating to have the signal drop all the time. I use auto channel with N only, 5ghz only.
I have a dlink gamer router in the basement that is the G band for my wifes netbook. it is solid.

I can't test with any other equipment as this is all I have in the house.

I sure hope a fix comes soon...

After many hours of adjustments the only way I got my 1522 to work with my 655 was to disable securespot feature on my router.

 Thanks for everyones' tips and suggestions. Like so many others I've had the connection drop after a few minutes. I wanted to post because I'm using a Belkin N Wireless router. It was set to broadcast in b/g/n but after reading this thread I set it to G only and now it keeps the connection. Then I set the router to only broadcast in N and the problems returned.
 This is very dissapointing as the product can't be used in a way to justify the premium price so many of us paid for it.

I've been having the same problems.. I'm using the DIR-655 and DAP-1522.

I'm about ready to throw the DAP-1522 out the window.  I'm running mixed g/n mode.  The connection constantly drops.  I'm really pissed that I removed the hard-wire connection I had - I believed that the DAP-1522 was rock solid - I wish I saw this forum first.

I've tried all channels, same problems.

I have the same problem with my DAP-1522 running in AP mode.   Every day it locks up and no wireless devices can connect to it until I cycle the power on it.  I can't even get into the Admin webpage of the DAP-1522 to do a reboot.  

Sounds like a firmware bug to me (anyone else notice that in AP mode with FW 1.21 that you can't change the Visibility of the SSID?).

Thanks to everyone here. I was going crazy trying to figured out why my AP and this bridge would disassociate. I then went through my settings and noticed my AP was set to auto for the channel. I have since changed it to 11 and it seems so much better.

[chromogrinch]

lmao. I'm also having the same problem and it's over a year since someone posted in here. 

I can' believe this has not been addressed with firmware or something. haha  So I just recently bought the dir-825 and the dap-1522 and same problem.  I don't mind the router but I'm not sure yet about the bridge.  I've set it up now that it would be impossible to for it to drop a connection but it still does.

I set the channel to 11 and if it drops again I'm going to the store for a refund.  I haven't even had it 10 days so I'm scrutinizing this very closely.  Good lord, shame on you dlink!  Maybe it's time to go back to Linksys or try another brand.

Hell, I might just bring all the hardware back for a refund or exchange for a different brand altogether.  Going to do more research this time though.

OMG - it just did it again while I was typing this.  lmao, back to the store with all products.  I'm effin fed up with this shat.

I dropped over $200 for both these devices and and a dlink wireless adapter never agian! lol

PS: I feel bad for you folks that weren't able to bring your hardware back but I feel lucky to have gotten this frustrated and found this post in the short time that I've owned this hardware so that I can return it ALL to the store.  Linksys here I come!

[chromogrinch]

For the record, I will probably keep the router since it's decent.  The DAP-1522 is going back tomorrow.  I have a second linksys N router that I'm not using so I might just try and use the dd-wrt firmware and see if I can get it to work as a reliable wireless bridge.

Don't really need the bridge that much but it should increase my speed a little just like the 1522 was doing... WHEN IT WORKED! damn what a ****py product.

And I'm positive it's the 1522 since when the link drops, I can just revert to my laptop wireless nic and connect to the router and internet/network works like a charm.

I would have kept the 1522 but I just can't take it anymore.  I've spend almost three full days on this... and I'm a third level tech with over a decade of IT experience.  Closer to 15 years but whatever.  Either my house has messed up insulation problems or there's a problem with the 1522.  Funny how my laptop wireless nic works every time though but having the intermittent connectivity issues when the dap1522 is twice as close to the router with less walls in between.  Oh well.

They should recall the product and it is no way worth buying it while on sale let alone full price like I did.

Good luck to everyone.  BTW the dir-825 is a decent router so no complaints on that.

[chromogrinch]

Update: I returned the DAP-1522.  I still had my old Linksys WRT160n V3 and updated with the ww-rrt firmware and it's working like a charm as a client bridge with the DIR-825.

I don't get it man.  The DAP-1522 and DIR-825 are both made by DLINK and the website even recommends that they be used together but they don't seem to work.  It's hit or miss I guess.  For example, my friend has a DAP-1522 working with his Linksys router without any problems.

And configuring the DAP-1522 was not that hard but a bit of a pain in the ass however.  While the ww-rrt firmware on my old linksys was a dream to work with.  I was not required to hard wire to my router or anything.  I was able to configure everything wirelessly and as I mentioned, not one drop so far.

DLINK is either off their game or... meh, not even sure what to think about this.  But I'm up an running now and it cost me a lot less than I thought it would.
