Default D-Link DAP-1522 802.11N wireless bridge for my PS3

Guys, I would like to share my extreme satisfaction with the new addition to my home network. I just bought a D-Link DAP-1522 Wireless N Bridge. Highly recommended!!! Combined with my D-Link DIR-655 Wireless N router I now have pure N range wireless network with average speeds between 40 and 60 Mbps. I placed the bridge behind my TV in the family room, switched PS3 from internal wireless G adapter to the wired connection to the DAP-1522 bridge and the speed of the wireless connection tripled at least.
If I had occasional stuttering while streaming HD with the original PS3 wireless adapter, now everything plays smooth, as if my PS3 is hard wired to the router.
Now, you will say there are dozens of various N range wireless bridges out there. True, but D-Link DAP-1522 seems to be the only one that has not one but 4 Gigabit LAN ports on the back - in other words it has an integrated 4 port Gigabit network switch. Now I can connect multiple devices to the same bridge, not just my PS3.
Setup was a breeze: both DAP-1522 and DIR-655 support WPS (WiFi Protected Setup), so all you need to set it up on your network is:
- unpack and power your DAP-1522 up;
- Press WPS button;
- go to your router and press WPS button there
...and within seconds the two devices are talking to each other. This does not come any easier. Now you can connect PCs, PS3 and other devices to your DAP-1522 bridge.

My streaming setup now is:
PC (with PS3 Media Server) => D-Link DIR-655 => D-Link DAP-1522 => PS3/Receiver/TV. PS3 Media Server is THE Best media server for PS3, way better than Tversity, Twonky and the rest.
The only thing that slightly bothers me is that I have to run my PC to stream media to the PS3. One of the scenarios I am considering as a next step is:
HP EX485 (with PS3 Media Server installed instead of Twonky) => DAP-1522 => PS3/Receiver/TV.

I am not associated with D-Link, so do not take this as a cheap advertisement. This things works indeed and I can see how it can help many people here to optimize their PS3 setup.
