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

I purchased this to serve as a repeater to my Linksys 610N. I am really surprised at the lack of documentation and the glitchiness of the equipment itself. The instructions for Windows 7 show Vista screenshots. Not a big deal - I know my way around network sharing on Windows 7. All the password issues mentioned in other reviews are correct... it is just plain bizarre behavior and can set you back during setup.That aside, the documentation has huge gaps in it. So much so that I can assure you this device and accompanying manual (online version included) are not nearly enough for 98% of the population. That aside, I set it up using the directions (filling in with my own knowledge) and the thing worked off and on. Then I did a hard reset and set it up manually - got it all nice and tidy and then set it up and sure enough it performed the same way - on and off. Finally I looked at some forums and tried some alternates. No change. It all leads me to believe that this thing was not well tested in the shop, not well documented at corporate, and is pretty much useless.If you are not VERY familiar with networking, I would stay away from this product. Even if you are, I would still pass on it - I am returning it. Hope this helps you avoid the same hassles.

This device should be SO simple--all I needed was an access point that would extend the range of my existing network using an ethernet connection. Unfortunately, nothing I did could get me to a working configuration page (the address provided in the quick-start guide doesn't respond), and the support materials on D-Link's website were completely useless.If an access point with straightforward configuration is what you need (ESPECIALLY if you use a Mac), consider the Cisco WAP610N.

Installation appeared to go smooth however signal was Inconsistant. Signal would be strong and then drop to half then nothing. Tech Support was very helpful as usual with Dlink and found unit to be defective and to return for exchange.

I tried to use this is a range extender and failed miserably. Although I am adept at configuring cabled and wireless routers, this one was a stumper. Almost no useful online help. Considering that my router is D-Link (DIR-655) I expected this to work but it does not.I have returned this item to Amazon (simple and smooth), bought instead a D-Link DIR-628 wireless router, configured it as an Access Point (much better documented, basically disable DHCP and PnP) and I got my range extended! You could do this if you have a couple of wired spots where you could place this Access Point. In my case I has a wired spot on the second floor where I connected the second router (DIR 628) and I now get excellent Wi-Fi connectivity for the iPhone, iPad and Laptops used upstairs.So two D-Link products, one designed to extend the range and, for me, was a waste of time (I would have given it zero stars if I could). The second is a versatile router that allowed me to extend the reach of my network with a few configuration changes. Both cost about the same...

A very flexible and capable device, this DAP-1360 can be used in a variety of ways (need to read the provided documentation to make the proper choices). I've used it to replace a DWLG820 when I added internet-enabled DVR SlingBox and BluRay to my existing XBOX - as the DWLG820 that it replaced could only be configured as a single device's bridge. Now I have all devices successfully connected to their internet resources, and all at improved WiFi-N speeds. Solid connectivity and performance.

IMO D-Link product always set up easy but this one was the fastest. 5 minutes from box to working on a secure network in repeater mode, it couldn't have be easier.

I refused to believe the blogs about this product, shame on me. Spent some time with tech support to get it up and running...then it performed as indicated on the dlink blogs. Got a very strong signal, then within less than a minute it drops completely off to one bar rendering it uselss. I bought this product as a recommendation from dlink tech support because I'm using the dlink dir 655 router. Shame on d-link for putting their name on this product, and shame on me for not believing all the reviews.

Despite the high price tag I have to say that this device saved the internet connection in our guest house. I am using it as an adapter; this means that pick ups the signal wirelessly and then transmits it via ethernet to my ps3 or laptop. I only wished that it had 2 or more ethernet ports. My suggestion when purchasing this extender is that the main router gotta be a dlink also, just to ensure they work properly. I have been using it, without turning it off, for about 2 months with no problems at all. One more thing I like about it is that it has 2 detachable antennas so if you still get short in range a bigger antenna can be installed.

I am sure if I had more knoweledge setting this up would not have been so difficult, but it was. I have cable internet and I already have a router set up with the cable modem. I wanted to use this as well as the existing router, but it proved too difficult to set up. My existing is a linksys so when calling technical support, I of course got the "well, it the other routers problem" finger pointing. Now it just sits on the shelf for when I find more time that I dont have to call them both again.

While the above prior review is accurate,the password issue seems to be the ONLY issue. The configuration works well and is simple. I believe the problem here is if you use a password that is either too long or has special characters.When you put in such a password, then it does not flag the problem, rather it just takes you back to the login screen... and then you can't login!I agree the firmware needs a patch for this, but apart from this it works as advertised and very nicely has improved (in repeater mode) the range and coverage of my WiFi.I've only had it a few days, so can't comment on reliability of failure over long time of use.Suggestion.. change your admin password when you first get it out of the box, that way you don't waste time configuring it, only to have to do a reset because of the password glitch if you put in one that doesn't work.Finally.. I've had the same issue with Linksys camera, do don't "dis" Dlink alone on this one. as far as I am concerned, the whole industry including web based banking needs to open up unrestricted passwords with no character limitations and no maximum length (within reason, say at least 24 characters).

It's a great device... I connect to my router D-Link DIR-655 to create another Access Point and was easy to configure, and the signal straight is stable and powerfull... everything works great.

Didn't really make a difference to the signal in repeater mode. Got 2 additional bars but the signal kept dropping and the connection was pretty slow.Returned this product.

Use this to extend the range of my wireless to my mothers house which is approximately 75 feet from mine. It works like a charm.

I tried every possible variation of the DAP-1360 with a Linksys WRT160N base access point and they simply didn't play nicely together. I configured it for "Wireless Client" mode, connecting my notebook via the LAN port and I also configured it in "Repeater" mode, connecting my notebook first via the LAN port, and then via the WiFi repeater.I also tried adjusting the configuration options and I saw some slight improvement by restricting it to 802.11g mode at 12 Mbps and reducing the power by 50%.In every configuration, my notebook's tiny internal Atheros AR5007EG WiFi client adapter got a much better connection directly to the Linksys base than did this dual-antenna device.Unless you know for certain that this device works with you base access point/router, I recommending looking elsewhere.

I was trying this product in the capacity of a range extender.The "setup wizard" was misleading, taking me to dead ends that didn't work. The interface was unintuitive. Once set up (after an hour of frustration), no noticeable increase in wireless range or reliability was observed. This is despite multiple tests on positioning and signal strength.I'm returning it and getting my money back.

We were getting a weak internet signal on the upper floor of our home, due to the router being in a location far from most of the rooms upstairs. We put this in our living room and it works very well. Easy to set up, just follow the directions in the package. I would recommend this to anyone with a weak internet signal in some locations of a home or business.

This is the third DAP 1360 that I ordered (only the first through Amazon). For a secured network, it was either (1) impossible to configure or (2) maintain the settings for a period not longer than 60 days. Dlink's customer service was helpful but could not resolve the issue in any shape form or fashion (and I fancy myself as technically savy). One thing I did learn-- Amazon's customer service was first rate. No more Dlinks for me. But I will continue to deal with Amazon.

Regarding firmware version 1.02 - current as of this writing - The first thing that a user should do during setup of any wifi equipment is change the admin password. Well, if you do that with this unit, the login gets corrupted and neither the new password nor the default password work and you are forced to do a hard reset and start over. And it's laughable that the error message displayed is "The password is error"! HA - even the message "is error"!! If you can ignore that major shortcoming and the numerous other English spelling/grammar errors, you can eventually get it working. D-Link - We expect much better from you! Don't buy this model until they update the firmware, if ever.

I have this paired with Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter,kit, Push Button Security, 2 Adapt and am happy with the performance. I'm using it as a wireless access point. I did experience the issue mentioned in a previous review about the password not being set correctly the first time. When configuring, I would recommend using the wireless setup (vs. wizard setup) to make sure all of your settings are correct.

It really helped my wireless network. Fixed my connection problem. (I was constantly disconnecting and reconnecting.

I bought this to try to improve connection speeds on an older laptop. Not only did I see no difference in connection speed, it also started having a disconnect/reconnect issue that required me to unplug and replug in the USB for it to work. Thinking it might be my older laptop, I connected it to my 6 mo old laptop and then a PC with wifi card. The same issues were happening with those 2 computers as well-and proximity to the router didn't matter since the PC is where the router is, and the new laptop is in the same room as the PC and router. (Both the laptops installed wifi capabilities were turned off prior to connecting the DLink AC 1900 in case you wondered) I contacted the vendor and they sent me an update to use on all the computers. The update fixed the full disconnect which requires you to unplug and replug in the usb to get it connected again, but the product still randomly disconnects and reconnects itself. It can't be proximity to the router as the issue: it happens close to or far away from the router. It can't be due to the age of the laptops-the other laptop was new. It can't be due to the laptop vs PC, since the pc also had the issue if using the WiFi card/WLAN instead of the LAN

If you are trying to submit something online, doing schoolwork through an online school site, or anything online that resets a page you fill out if the connection is interrupted, you would find everything cleared because you don't have an internet connection. I contacted them multiple times and eventually they said to contact a certain tech support person. Its hard for me to equate spending $70+ on an item that constantly disconnects and reconnects. I will be sending it back for a refund and going back to my laptops connection.

First thing I have to say, this purchase was completely worth it. I bought this for about $77 and was about to purchase it from Amazon for a $99. I had an older model D-link system wireless USB AC adapter that had an expired Windows certificate and kept disconnecting. I was hesitant on buying the item originally due to the high price tag and glad I did.

In terms of connection speed, it's a solid connection, has not disconnected even when having multiple downloads, HD streams and transfers going on back to back on both 2.4/ 5GHz. The router I purchased is wireless AC Asus model that has a 3 x 3 antenna design matching this model. They pair up perfectly, they also released the firmware for Windows 10 in the Dlink system support page. After downloading and installing, it connected perfectly with no problems and has been running a month, if not longer without any issues. Everything is snappy. My internet provider speed runs 100 down and 26 up however I do "feel" the difference when loading webpage and HD streams, it's a noticeable upgrade from my previous AC adaptor. The blue light emitted by the unit is not overly bright, but you can easily see when issues arise. It goes from orange when connecting or connection is lost to blue as active, (off) when no power if going thru it or computer can't see the unit.

PROS: Solid connection, not overly flashy design, easy to troubleshoot based off color emitted. Smaller than a baseball. Wireless AC 3 x 3 antenna design.

CONS: None, but if I had to be picky, I would say price might scare people off.

(I will also upload an image with the connection speed later on. Along with a size comparison image)

Tip, make sure you have wireless AC router that has 3 x 3 antenna design or more to match the unit. That way you can get the speed advertised and decent internet provider speeds. Make sure unit is plugged into USB 2.0 or 3.0 to get the higher transfer speeds. Mine is plugged into an old non USB 3.0 (using 2.0) and my speed is 1.3GPS - which is extremely good!

I had a mixed experience with this. In Windows 10, connection speeds were extremely fast, as advertised. But the connection was unusually slow/unreliable to establish at Windows start-up, and the connection periodically dropped. In Linux (Ubuntu), driver support is wholly non-existent. The only way to get it working is to force installation of drivers for a different device with the same family chipset, and the resulting connection is unusably slow (as in, under 56k). D-Link does not advertise Linux support, so this isn't a case of being mislead, but I do think the lack of support counts somewhat against the product. I ultimately went back to my old, dirt cheap PCI wi-fi adapter, which offers reliable drop-free connections in both Windows and Linux

Was looking for a wireless adapter for my new Ubuntu build and purchased this based off of the previous reviews that indicated it worked with Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS, which I can confirm it does. It's not exactly plug-and-play like in Windows, but it's still do-able for novices.

Once you plug the adapter in, open up Software & Updates > Additional Drivers tab. In there you should see D-Link Corp.: Unknown and an option to either "Do not use the device" or "Using dkms source for the r8812au network driver from rtl8812au-dkms (open source)". Choose that open source option and click Apply Changes. It might take a few minutes, but it should go through.

Note you may be prompted to enter a password for secure boot (this is called the MOK key) - go ahead and enter an easy-to-remember password (MOK key). After that, you'll need to reboot (it will most likely automatically prompt you to reboot, if not then just reboot manually). Pay attention during the reboot since you'll need to press the Enter key to enter the MOK key process (you'll see a window asking if you want to do this). I forget the exact terminology, but you want to navigate into a section where you type in that easy-to-remember password (MOK key) you just made. Once you put that password in, do whatever you need to do to gracefully get out of the MOK key area and complete the reboot process, eventually landing at the normal user log-in screen you see every time you reboot your computer. Once you log in, the adapter should work just fine. Don't miss that MOK key process since you'll need to remove and redo the driver installation process again to get back to it. IMO driver processes like this (and this is an easy one!) are one of the biggest hurdles for normal users moving into Linux-land....

Another thing to note is the drivers don't automatically load every time you start/restart your computer. To have them automatically load up every time you restart (which is likely something you'll want), is add the module name to the /etc/modules file. To find your module name, first get everything fully installed and working fine, then in a terminal window type lsmod. This will show you all of your kernel modules. Look for the name of this puppy - in my case it's 8812au (derived from the rtl8812au-dkms I previously mentioned) - and copy that text. For your next terminal command, type in sudo gedit /etc/modules - this will open a text editor and at the bottom of that file just paste in the text you copied. Save and exit gedit, restart your computer, and viola. Note that apparently my current Ubuntu build has a but where the wireless icon at the top right (near the speaker & power button) entirely disappears **sometimes** but the wireless still connects and works just fine. You can confirm everything is still working OK by going into your Settings > Wi-fi and you'll see you're still connected just fine.

I am using this with my NETGEAR R8000-100NAS Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router Model R8000-100NAS and 1 gbps down / 20 mbps up internet connection. Wireless speeds about 15 feet away through one interior wall are 176 mbps down (22 MB/s down) and 23 mbps up (maxing out my upload internet speed)
