D-Link’s new wireless repeater streams music too

D-Link DCH-M225 (Side)

You know streaming music is no longer some difficult DIY project when even D-Link, the networking gear maker, is producing a simple wireless streaming gadget.

Okay, the DCH-M225, released in Singapore this week, is essentially a Wi-Fi repeater at its core, but it also streams music from your smartphone or laptop to a speaker by connecting via a 3.5mm audio jack.

To start, you plug the adapter into the wall and hook up the audio cable to your speaker or amplifier. Then simply connect via Wi-Fi from your portable player and start playing your tracks.

Yes, you could have connected a compatible Bluetooth dongle or wireless adapter to your speaker as well. But do any of these add-ons extend your home Wi-Fi coverage at the same time?

This is where the dual-use D-Link gadget hopes to win over users. Besides streaming music, it also enlarges the coverage area by taking your existing Wi-Fi signals and repeating them, say, in your bedroom.

It supports Wireless N speeds of up to 300Mbps, which is good enough for browsing webpages even if you are listening to high-quality lossless music tracks. At S$69, it is priced to go as well.

    How’s the sound quality? Does it work with AirPlay? 🙂

      Hi Stephen, yes, it works with AirPlay. I haven’t tried it out yet though this looks promising.

        The Airport Express also looks interesting for such a function (wifi repeater + AirPlay), and the refurbished model goes for $88.

        And I presume that AirPlay would work better on Apple’s products than on 3rd-party products?

          Yeah, if Apple is your priority, then keeping to the brand might be what you’d like to do. For more heavy-duty streaming for hi-fi systems, I’d go for something dedicated to do the job. We reviewed the Bluesound Node sometime back. https://www.techgoondu.com/2014/06/23/goondu-review-bluesound-node-n100/
