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 bought this antenna about 1.5 yrs ago with the DIR-655 extreme N wireless router. I've had other G type but got drop-outs on downloads all the time. I put this on my older XP unit and my new Vista Home Premium unit. Never had any problems. My house is large and has concrete between new and old edition. I get a solid 4 bar hook-up every time. I highly recommend D-Link for antenna and router. I have a laptop, PS3, and upstairs desktop and just added another desktop. All are at opposite ends of my house, and all have good solid hook-up. I'm on right now to buy another DWA-160. Hope this helps.

It installed on XP Pro SP3 flawlessly. Have not measured data or file transfer rate but it is noticeably faster than my rock solid G router. Pricey but if you want wireless video be prepared to buy premium N products or tinker and tweak with bargain units.

Nicely made product. However, it will not work within Windows XP Pro 32 bit SP3. Tried a tech call to D-Link and was informed that the drivers will any work with SP2. Tech guy wanted me to rollback to SP2. I said for this money I expect it to install and work quickly and easily and that I'll try a different brand.
