D-Link DWA-130 Wireless N Network Adapter
The D-Link Wireless N USB Adapter (DWA-130) provides a better wireless signal for your computer than existing wireless 802.11g technology. Adding Wireless N to your computer provides an excellent solution for doing everyday activities such as transferring files, browsing the Internet, and downloading music. D-Link Wireless N products use Intelligent Antenna technology to transmit multiple streams of data which enable you to receive wireless signals in the farthest corners of your home. Not only does D-Link's Wireless N technology extend your wireless range, it also works with your existing 802.11g and 802.11b wireless routers and access points.
Easy To Set Up
The D-Link Quick Adapter Setup Wizard walks you through the installation process and configures your new Wireless N USB Adapter for you. Also included is the Wireless Connection Manager that will add and save settings for the networks you frequent most.
Easy To Use
The Wireless N USB Adapter easily connects your USB 2.0-equipped desktop or notebook computer to your wireless network for Internet and file sharing. Desktop users can easily add wireless connectivity without having to open the PC case. By using the included desktop cradle, the Wireless N USB Adapter can be placed on your desk for optimal performance. Notebook users will enjoy the compact form factor that allows you to upgrade to Wireless N technology and get better range.
Upgrade your legacy 802.11g wireless adapter to the new Wireless N USB Adapter (DWA-130) for desktop or notebook computers and enjoy the improved range and speed of multiple antenna technology.
Why Wireless N is Better
This Wireless N Adapter uses draft 802.11n technology to maximize the speed and range of your wireless signal to significantly outperform 802.11g MIMO devices. The Wireless N Adapter makes use of your home's environment by bouncing multiple wireless signals off of walls and ceilings to work around obstructions and help eliminate dead spots.

I purchased two wireless adapters with a D-Link Router. They are very easily and simple to install. They work great. I have the router upstairs and one wireless adapter downstairs and have 4 out of 5 bars of signal strength. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend.
Totally Awesome!

I bought this adapter to be able to have killer high speed in the living room for gaming and media center pc for watching streaming videos etc. I never had an issue installing it using Win 7 and D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme Wireless Router Item Number: D700-5426. If you buy one of these adapters, I strongly reccomend buying the DIR-655 router so you can use the wireless N to its fullest!
Good Choice for SOHO use

It works quite well, but the D-Link software needs some updating. It has to be manually connected to my wireless router, since the router has a push button. The software is not robust enough to automatically disable the on-board wireless G card when the Wireless N is activated.
I like the adapter, but it may be difficult for users unfamiliar with editing network connections
