 D-Link DWA-160 Xtreme Wireless N Duo Adapter
The D-Link® Xtreme N Duo™ USB Adapter (DWA-160) is the latest addition to the award-winning Xtreme N product family. The DWA-160 is designed for users looking to get a reliable wireless connection that can handle High-Definition (HD) video streams throughout the house. This is achieved by using the DWA-160 together with a draft 802.11n dualband router (D-Link DIR-855 or DGL-4500 recommended).
Benefits of Duo
The Duo technology in the DWA-160 supports selectable dualband (2.4GHz or 5GHz) wireless signals. This allows you to check e-mail and browse the Internet using the 2.4GHz band or stream HD movies and other media on the 5GHz band. The DWA-160 is also backward compatible, which means it can be used in existing 802.11g networks.
Mediaband Technology
The DWA-160 utilizes MediaBand™ (5GHz), which is the best technology available for wirelessly streaming HD videos across your network. It achieves this by operating in a clear wireless band to avoid interference that may slow down and limit the range of current wireless technologies like 802.11g
With unmatched wireless performance, reception, and security, the D-Link Xtreme N Duo USB Adapter (DWA-160) is the best choice for easily adding or upgrading wireless connectivity to your PC.
What is Duo
Xtreme N Duo is the latest addition to the award-winning Xtreme N product family. The Duo technology in the DWA-160 supports selectable dualband (2.4GHz or 5GHz) wireless signals. This allows you to check e-mail and browse the Internet using the 2.4GHz band or stream High-Definition movies and other media on the 5GHz band.
What is MediaBand
MediaBand (5GHz) is ideal for wirelessly streaming multiple High-Definition (HD) videos across your network. It helps avoid interference by providing a clearer wireless band for HD signals than existing.

I use this adapter with the XTremeN Media router. I have it configured for N-band, 5ghz only, and I use it on a Dell XPS M170 gaming laptop to play EverQuest2 on. The game play has no lag, and the adapter stays connected with no problems at all. I have a decent signal, but do wish it was better. I noticed the 2.4ghz band has about a 20% higher signal, which seems strange. Different router antenna arrangements significantly helped. Regardless, it isn't a problem. Good value, good features, decent performance. |

This product does not perform as advertised. I have this device connected to a laptop which I placed in the same room as my desktop which has a DWA-552 card installed. The DIR-655 router was in the next room, about 10 feet away. The DWA-552 always connects at a rock-solid 300Mbps, while this usb version NEVER gets over 108Mbps, and usually is a lot slower (81Mbps as I type this). As an added bonus it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting about every 15 minutes. True, it's faster than the built-in |
Works OK

It did improve my speed and performance by upgrading my G to N, but I also bought the DWA-140 for another computer and it seems to work better. |
It did not play nice with Vista 64 bit

I bought this for my Vista 64 bit machine and it caused me nothing but trouble. I switched it with a Netgear WNDA3100-100NAS card that I bought as a refurb that I was using on XP home machine and that solved most of my problems except that I had to give my kids admin privileges on the XP machine for the DWA-160 to connect. Conclusion, save money and time and get the referbished Netgear for $30. |
