Customer Review: D-Link DWA-642 RangeBooster N Notebook Adapter
Summary: 3 Stars

With this adapter, I also purchased a D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router. I was still unable to get decent reception in my back room. Then I got a new Thinkpad, using an 802.11G internal adapter, and suddenly I was able to connect without being dropped and at a great speed. So I am not currently using this notebook adapter.

Customer Review: Great product for a great price!
Summary: 5 Stars

I recently purchased the D-Link DWA-642 RangeBooster N Notebook Adapter, and was not disappointed. This card works great, is fast, and windows set it up for me. Great product, great price. Very reliable shopping at Amazon.


Customer Review: Easy installation and a big improvement over the last adapter
Summary: 4 Stars

Bought this to extend the range my notebook has for receiving 802.11g wireless signals. I pick up signals from all over now. Big improvement over the adapter the notebook came with. I have both XP and Vista running it with zero issues.

Customer Review: Discontinued by manufacturer
Summary: 1 Stars

No support from manufacturer. This product was discontinued in 2009. See D-link's website for info before purchasing this network card. The DWA-652 from D-link is similar to this card and is currently supported.

Customer Review: Works in Linux
Summary: 5 Stars

This card works under Ubuntu Linux with the 2.6.34 kernel using the ath9k driver. If you need a Linux WLAN card, this one should do fine. I don't think N mode was supported last I checked but it works in G mode.
