New Airport Express vs DLINK- DIR655

[Benz63amg]

Hey guys, so the infamous dlink router which was voted as top router by many in the 2010-2011 year, im using one until this day, works great, my question is, how would the new redesigned airport express compare to the dlink dir655?

i know the airport express is dual band now, does that mean that i will notice faster speeds with wireless devices? (imac, iphone, ipad, apple tv .. ) ?

LOL, I was wondering the exact same thing as I have the same D-Link router. Was wondering if it would be worth it to "upgrade"

Looking at Smallnetbuilders, both are somewhere in the middle (performancewise). Comparing the two, the Apple is a little faster

You posted a link to the Extreme and not the Express (which is the subject of this thread). Here's the correct link:
