...Sounded like it almost got the best of you there....I'm glad you were able to get it worked out.
Networking's just so foreign to me. I don't remember my initial setup of my
existing network being so "tricky". I hooked up an ADSL modem after years of dial-up and no network. On the same day as the modem install, I connected the router, and using my built-in wireless adapter on my laptop, was able to connect up immediately. A few days later when the network adapter card for my wife's laptop arrived, I installed
it without a problem. Soon afterwards the XBox 360 was connected via then Microsoft adapter. I do recall it being a few weeks before I actually learned how to make files shareable as well as making the printer get along. I was just happy they could all share an internet connection. Then the PS3 arrived and connection was a breeze. There was one hiccup along the way when my desktop died and had to be replaced, but a little help from this board got me back up and running in an evening.
Once I had "network nirvana", I just didn't want anything to upset that, especially something like this bridge enabling the remote DVR access. Which, if you consider
my situation, is 99.9% coolness factor only. I can't remember a time in which I was away from home and wished I could set the DVR to record something. I just like knowing now I
can.
I guess truthfully, I just wanted to be prepared for the 922. I assume when I swap my 622 for the 922, it'll be plug-n-play since the bridge is in place.
About the DLINK DAP-1522: I do like the small footprint. It's a lot smaller than I expected. I didn't really want to stack it on one of my other components for 2 resons: I didn't want another LED brightening up the viewing area, and I was concerned about the heat. It works nicely sitting vertically with the included stand
behind my TV.
