(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.

MEDIABAND TECHNOLOGY

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.1

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.
