Отзывы о Wi-Fi роутер D-link DAP-1360U

The product has been a great help. It was easy to set up and works just fine. I get online very fast with my laptop. Have always brought D-Link products and have had no problems

Apparently people don't follow instructions or don't understand the purpose of this device. I've got this to extend the range of my DIR-655 router, and it works flawless.

You can add my name to the list of dissatisfied users of this range extender. I had a D Link DIR 625 router that worked perfectly and I wanted to extend the range in my home. I assumed that buying a D Link extender would increase my chances of success but I was mistaken. Downloading the latest firmware didn't help and I got tired of constantly troubleshooting it to try to get it to work. I think I tried just about every solution I could find on the internet. It would never work problem free for longer than a week and I often would have to reboot the cable modem, router, and extender on a daily basis. As a result, I purchased a Linksys RE 1000 range extender from Amazon ($80) and a Linksys E4200 router from Costco (was only $135 so i decided to upgrade) and they work perfectly together. The setup couldn't have been easier and I didn't have to worry at all about trying to play with the manual settings. Just load the installation CD and follow the onscreen instructions. I highly recommend the Linksys products if you want to increase your wireless range.

I bought this device to provide expanded coverage of my D-LINK DIR-655 Wireless Router. I figured that it was made by D-LINK and there for would be compatible with another D-LINK product. I was wrong. I had read all the reviews and figured that the mixed reviews were indicative of a poor understanding of wireless networking concepts by the non-tech users. I was wrong. I am an IT professional and have found that this device fails to deliver to its specification. I had no problem with setup, no problem with passwords and no problem with inconsistent signal strength as has been observed by many who have reviewed this device. It set up fairly easily in spite of poor documentation and I was able to see the signal strength of the 802.11n network increase from 1 bar to 5 bars. But I have had very unreliable data connectivity. When it does work, I see a reduction from 9+ MBs to under 1 MBs with extremely long latency (10+ seconds when it works). I have updated the firmware, I have been online with their worthless technical support and I have experimented myself. This box is a boat anchor. Unfortunately, I'm too late to return it to Amazon. So this piece of garbage will go to the electronics recycling facility, but not before I give it a whack with a sledgehammer so that somehow it doesn't find its way to somebody else to cause more frustration. Bottom line: Believe the reviews. To continue commercialize this device is an abomination.

I bought this to extend my home network, combined with a DLINK DIR-655, since the signal was weak in my basement. The connection slows down, drops, then eventually comes back. I have tried everything, including moving to 802.11g only, and the thing still breaks down. I fought this thing for days trying to get it to work. DO NOT BUY THIS!

Wish I'd seen all the other reviews before I bought this thing. I was just following the recommendations of the d-link people because I already had a d-link 655 router. I lost a couple days off my life on tech support with these people trying every possible thing to get it to work. At the end of it all, the recommendation was that my particular DAP 1360 must be defective and I should order another one. It was only then that I saw these reviews. Thank you, Amazon, for having a great return policy. Now I have to find a non-d-link repeater to try to solve my internet access problem.

I set up the DAP-1360 as a wired access point for my home office network. The balance of my network consists of a DLink wireless router and a DLink switch. The unit is plug and play, easily configured via my browser window. The documentation is totally worthless - DON'T follow it. Was able to update the firmware without a problem. My guess is that wireless set up is a bit more difficult and may be the reason for all of the negative reviews ... but if you're going with a wired solution this product is easy to set up.

We own a decent size house (6000 square feet) our wireless router is in the basement. By placing this unit in the second floor it allowed my children and wife to enjoy a much better internet experience on the third floor where they do most of their computing, (on their desks in their bedrooms). I might add one more upstairs, but for now I'm no longer getting any complaints and happy that I purchased it. It really works.

I received the DAP-1360 a few days ago. I started with the instructions on the CD. Big mistake. I was unable to access [...], which is how you access the setup wizard. I wasted an hour or so troubleshooting until I noticed the Initial Setup Guide on the folded insert that was in the box. I reconfigured my XP PC according to the instructions and accessed the Initial Setup Guide. I needed to set up the DAP-1360 as a wireless client. The instructions on the folded insert weren't much help, so I referred to the instructions on the CD. It took several tries pressing the side button on my DIR-655 modem to get the DAP-1360 to configure. I even tried pressing the side button on the DAP-1360 too. At some point, I got a message saying the DAP-1360 had configured correctly. I'm not quite sure what I did to eventually make it work. This was more difficult than it needed to be. The instructions need to be more clearly written. However, bottom line, it is working as advertised. It picks up my wireless LAN signal and transmits it to my TV's LAN port via the enclosed ethernet cable. My router is on the second floor of my house, the TV and DAP-1360 are in the basement. The signal is "very good". The TV's firmware update downloaded without a problem.

Customer support was not helpful. I want to use the product as an extender. I went through the set up and configuration process and got to the last part of pressing a button for the device to connect to the network. Nothing happened so I called customer support. I got a person who was clearly reading from a script and used my name so often I became sick. Her sole purpose was to get me off the phone. She kept asking for router and network information. When I asked for a minute so I could log on to the network and get the settings she insisted I call back and wanted to give me a case number. When I told her I wasn't going to do that she stayed on the line but rapidly spit out that she needed cipher data and other settings. It took some time to navigate the Linksys interface and she said I had to call Linksys to get this information. When I asked her for what specific information she needed she continued insisting I needed to call Linksys. I am returning this to the store, not because the product is bad because I'm sure the product will work once it's configured, but the customer service person was in a hurry and I'm convinced not well trained. Again her main purpose seemed that she wanted me to get off the phone, get settings from Linksys and call back. Not helpful at all, and borderline rude. I can take rude so long as the person is competent and can fix the problem, but incompetent and rude is not acceptable when so many other choices are available.

do not purchase this item! Shows strong signal but drop connection to the internet or to other network devices.I purchased this to extend my network as my router Dlink Dir-655 is on the first floor and my bed rooms gets weak signal on the third floor. The dir-655 signal show one bar, and I get about 0.5-1.5Mbps, so I decided to give this Dap-1360 a try. I was hoping that it would may make the connection faster and stronger.I purchase this from amazon and got it after a few days. I plug it in and try to set it up with windows 7. You have to know hot to tweak the ip on your machine to connect to it via the provide Ethernet wire. Then after you connect, you will run a wizard which later ask you to push this sync button on your router. My router was 1 floors away and you have 120 seconds to do this sync. If you miss it you will have to do it again. After a couple of time, I got it to sync.Immediately after that, I took off the ethernet wire and tested the wireless. I saw the wireless connection to be strong an tested the speed. It was great as I have this set up on 2nd floor. I move to the 3rd floor and tested it and it was showing full strength. Give it about 15 mins and tried it again and this is when the issue started to show. I had full strength but yet, I can't surf the web. I move back to the 2nd floor and 1st floor and can't surf the web. I try another wireless laptop and same issue, can't surf the web. I guess it was jamming the router's wireless too. This was crazy.As soon as I unplug the 1360, everything recovered and was able to surf the web. Try going on line and reconnecting to the 1360 to do some tweaks and no luck.I have had it will this unit and returning it to amazon.If you get it, good luck!

Does not work properly. Causes by dlink DIR-655 to constantly re-test internet connection. Tried multiple forums and contacting dlink. Absolute garage, will never buy their products again.

This is so simple to set up. I cannot believe anybody has had problems with it. If you know the basics of WiFi configuration you will know enough to have this working minutes after unpacking.

I was trying to use this as an extender but was never able to get it to work. After playing phone tag with tech support, I gave up and purchased the Amped SR300 repeater and had it running in a few minutes.

I bought this as a repeater for a DIR-655, and now wish I hadn't. Connections are dropped after 5 minutes or so. The device appears to be disrupting the network instead of increasing the capability. Absolutely not worth the time or effort to extend the network. It appears some are lucky and receive something that actually works. Don't make the same mistake that I did.

The D-Link DAP-1360 is, in my opinion, a worthless piece of junk.My internet service provider recommended a D-Link Rangbooster N Dual Bank Router. I purchased one and installed it with no problem using a portable running Windows 7. Wireless reception from this wireless router was great, and the speedtest was very close to the speed I got by connecting directly to my computer's ethernet port.Our house has a four-foot thick rock wall through most of the middle, so I purchased a D-Link N Range Extender to catch the signal at the edge of the wall and re-beam it to the other side of the house.I made three attempts to do the installation myself based on the instructions in the box. The Windows 7 screens in the instructions did not match the actual Windows 7 screens, so it proved impossible to do the self-installation.Next, I called the toll free installation assistance line. While the person on the line was very patient and courteous, we had to work together for over 45 minutes to get the Range Extender installed.When I began using the part of the house with the range extended, the bandwidth was EXTREMELY slow, despite the fact that the Rangebooster increased the signal bars from 1 to 5. When I say EXTREMELY slow, I meant that a 4.8 mbps download speed was choked down to .437 mpbs.At this point, I suppose I could have called D-Link tech support again, but by now I had invested several hours just trying to get a simple range extender up and running. My conclusion is that this a poorly designed and implemented product which is not worth purchasing. Avoid it at all costs.

This device claims to be compatible with Macintosh and Linux. That may be true if you can get it set up, but there are absolutely NO INSTRUCTIONS OR DOCUMENTATION pertaining to setup on either platform -- or even what the lights on the front indicate. What little documentation exists is only for setup with WINDOWS. I have contacted technical support, and have not gotten anywhere -- "Connect the PC wired to the AP - Start > run > cmd > ping 192.168.0.50 >> enter".Is it too much to ask for instructions?

As an access point is not able to mantain connections from wireless clients.As an extender the results are un acceptable.I have invested hours trying to get this thing going but it just does not workNot a good product

I recently purchased an iPad and was having some connection troubles in my upstairs bedroom. My main router, a D-Link gaming router, sits downstairs about as far away as possible, so I went looking for a device that would extend my network. At first I was looking at buying another wireless router for upstairs and would then just turn off DHCP and set it to be an access node, but then found this little guy and put it upstairs, but about halfway away from my main router.PROS:- Pretty simple setup.- Worked as expected on the first try! (WPA-2 worked no problem.)- I get a strong connection now to my downstairs router with my iPad and other wireless devices upstairs.CONS:- Lack of polish in the interface. One screen in the web interface has some text in Spanish, and there's a variety of grammar/spelling mistakes.- This may be possible but I couldn't find it: A way to see the strength of the connection the device itself has to the home router, similar to what you'd see in Windows. Like I said, there may be a way to do it, but I couldn't find one.- The website doesn't have any firmware entries for this device, so I'm assuming 1.02 is the only firmware available, so following the other reviews, be careful about the password stuff. I didn't have any problems with it.- It's a little pricier than I think it needs to be if you were to compare it to a full-blown Wireless-N router that you could just turn features off on.Summary: I'd buy this again in a heartbeat though as it works as expected, but I took a star off for the bugs in the web interface, some missing statistics that would seem useful, and the price.

I ordered this range extender as I was having problems with the strength of my WiFi signals at home in some rooms.The signal extender works and was worth the effort.Beware that it was hard to program even though it is advertised as simple. I spent 40 minutes on the phone with tech support getting it configured. The kicker is that I do computers for work so that is just a warning.

if trying to extend range of non dlink product -- forget iteven extending range of a dlink router -- guesswork required (documentation NOT clear)hope that the manufacturer rewrites the "quick start" to add clarityonce installed, did not help that much with signal to even nearby devices. Why? No way of figuring that out....

D-link has apparently decided that it's cheaper to hire tech support people in the Phillipines to read from scripts than it is to write documentation for their products. I'm sure that works out great financially for them, but it's a huge waste of time for the end-user. I spent a long time on the phone with one of their employees, who seemed like a nice lady but who had no idea what was going on.On the box, the minimum system requirements are listed as Windows Vista, Windows XP, or MacOS X. But when you open the box and look at the poster with the setup requirements, they only give documentation for Windows. There is also a longer manual on a PDF file on a CD, but that manual also only gives instructions for Windows (on p. 88).The documentation also suggested using two methods of configuration (PIN or PBC), each of which only seems to work if your router is also a D-link router. Only by trial and error was I able to find a different method of configuration that would work with a non-D-link router.The documentation is all written in subliterate English, which makes it very hard to understand.

Could not get it to work correctly...When it did show any sign of extending, it only lasted momentarily. I had everything synced correctly, just not a good repeater/extender.I do have to say setup was a breeze with my dlink dir-855. The Dap-1360 just would not work correctly. Who knows, maybe I got a bad one? Maybe the B1 version would work better...

It came in the mail yesterday and I had it up and running in about 15 mins. So installation gets 5 stars. And it definitely works as an extender as I am now getting full signal strength upstairs in my bedroom while the router is in the far corner of the basement. All appeared to be good until I started to do more than surf the internet. I couldn't hold a connection to my company's VPN and I kept losing connection when I tried to download podcasts to itunes. I unplugged it and I haven't seen the problem since, so it has to be the extender causing the issue. It not only causes a problem with my laptop upstairs, but any computer on the network. The D-Link forum has several complaints with the same issue, but D-link has yet to respond to these complaints. The closest I saw to a recommended fix was in their Knowledgebase - they recommended changing the "Preamble" setting to "short" (default is "long") for busy networks or for downloading large files. I will try this when I get home tonight and see if this corrects the issue.UPDATE: 5/26/2010 - I switched the Preamble to "short" and that did nothing to solve my problem. Back to the ol' drawing board! Next stop, tech support. Ugh!UPDATE: 6/3/2010 - I emailed customer support a week ago and have heard nothing. Also, they have failed to respond to their own customer forum regarding this same issue. Lame, very lame. They leave me no option but to return this item.
