Hi

The reason I want to do this is:
I have a TV setupbox/satellite reciever with hdd and want to stream it around the house.

I have a WET54g bridge today - but it is not capable to stream films

Setup:
GW is the DIR-855
BRIDGE should be the DIR-655 wired to the TV-SetupBox (A DreamBox DM800 HD PVR)

Is that possible, and if yes - can anyone give me a hint how to set this up ?

Hi,

the DIR-655 can't work as a wireless bridge. You need something like the DAP-1555 to connect your device(s)

No.  The 655 can't be a bridge.  Try the DAP-1555 instead.

What country are you in? The DAP-1522 is listed for sale on the D-Link Europe web site.

D-Link Germany has already the little brother DAP-1522 on their WEB site:

It is also a wireless N bridge that can act either in 2,4 or in 5 GHz. (Non Concurrent)
