Customer Review: A must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought This item a week ago and it came today, so far it has been great, it is about 40 meters away from my router (wrt54g), it is running in a old computer with windows XP Pro that meets the requirements and the signal strenghts is excellent when i turn my computer sideways and point the antenna to the router otherwise it stays at 3 or 4 bars; I had a little truble installing these card, I couldn't get the damn thing connected to the pci slot, but i think it is my computers fault, it was built from scratch and my uncle sometimes makes mistakes when choosing the right motherboard that will fit inside a small cpu box; I had to unistall my fax moden in order tu make room for this, we don't need it anyways. I think that's all I can say about this card so far,Customer Review: Horrible Product - Really Bad Tech Support
Summary: 1 Stars
I tried to install this product according to the instructions and it completely locks up Win XP Pro! I called D-Link and after a whole 2 minutes of troubleshooting the tech told me the card was incompatible with my motherboard/chipset and I should return it and buy someone else's card! I was floored. I recommend that you take that tech's advice when considering purchasing a D-Link product and buy something else!
-Update- The Asus driver did not recognize the card. This driver must only work with the 1.0 chipset. I returned this card and bought an usb linksys adapter. Awesome! Never drops signal, a breeze to set up, and gets a really strong signal two stories away from touch point. Get this instead and save the aggravation!
Customer Review: Works Fine in my PC
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for free from a friend who no longer needed it anymore, and I stuck in it my PC and there haven't been any hangups or connection problems related to this card. As far as I know.
The installation was pretty straight forward and didn't cause me any problems. The upgrades since I got it have been easy to deal with and it usually only takes a reboot to make it work with the upgrade.
The range is fine for me, but the wireless signal only has to go through one wall. This is much better than stringing ethernet cable above door ways or even drilling through walls. I like it.
I'd recommend this to others as the price is small and it actually works.
Customer Review: Total Nightmare
Summary: 1 Stars
Not worthy of the carboard box it comes in. This product is specifically designed to connect to networks, and yet that is what it will not do without the user becoming a wireless expert.
Once connected, it will not sustain connectivity reliably. Expect to reconfigure settings over and over and over again. Check, double check and restart and reset various configurations in search of the solution. Waste your time hour after hour. Perhaps D-Link should pay the customers for their time as beta testers and troubleshooters and give the product away for free. It should also come with a large hammer to fix it once and for all. It's that bad. I cannot recommend this product to anyone.
Customer Review: Works great but installation was below par
Summary: 4 Stars
Once installed and configured the card works great with no drops. But, installation was awful--it kept looking for a driver that did not come on the CD that supposedly had all of the drivers. Even though I am very computer saavy, I was stumped and found it only after doing searches on the net for the name of the driver. Luckily, other people have had this problem and someone had posted a fix. An email to customer support was responded to within 24 hours and the driver was sent--but why have a product with a known issue and then not fix it? I am a big D-Link fan but this was disappointing as I wasted over 2 hours of time figuring it out.
