I guess its good for the price...

well this product is some what ok, it says that it is meant for large homes... i have a large home, with the router at one end, and my pc at the other and i get either one or two bars of connection. Im going to convince my parents to let me move here desktop+router downstairs(right under my room) and it will be perfect. With my computer right next to the router, i get AMAZING performance! better than wired connection! If there is a decent length between your pc and the router, this thing is a boss!

Fairly good product for the price

Good product overall - much better signal and reliability than the usb I was using. The antennae on back are close together which makes spanning them out difficult - and the gui interface has VERY limited options. Notwithstanding though I would recommend this product.

Perfect for wireless gaming

I put this in my sister's PC so we wouldn't have to run Cat 5 through the walls. Installation was a snap, and the signal is very good. It actually gets a better signal from across the house than a laptop does sitting right next to the router. The card itself is quite large and feels solid and well built.

Works as advertised.

Just received yesterday. Had some initial trouble with driver installation, but it was probably user error. Switched from an old Realtek USB and I am glad I did. Works exactly as advertised.

7 months and done

Worked flawlessly for seven months, then quit working reliably. Got RMA from D-Link and sent it back for replacement. Hoping the replacement works for a longer period. Simple to install.

Very Nice

Had some trouble bringing it online. After I gave up on it, it finally synched up and was OK, and has been great ever since. Great speed. I would recommend it.

Great Product for Gaming.

I initially had the WS-WNU680N USB wireless adapter, it wasn't good for gaming at all. Very laggy and not recommended for games. However THIS d-link adapter works perfectly. Absolutely no lag, although my router is only about 15 meters away, there is a concrete wall and a few partitions in between.
