5.0 out of 5 stars Great Card, August 4, 2007

Ok, the other reviews of this product weren't that helpfull for me previous to my purchase of this product so i thought i'd throw in my two cents. I'm using this card to replace my old Linksys card which wasn't giving a whole lot of range or power and replacing my old liksys router. I'm now using the DIR-655 in conjunction with this card and i'm getting exceptional range! 300mbps at the fence of my property about 150 linear feet away through multiple walls. The card itself is able to detect networks from a lot farther range than my previous card. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Hope this helps others out. Good Luck.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Does not work with Windows XP SP3!, December 14, 2008

I called D-Link support about installation problems with this product. They ran me through basic re-installation for half an hour and then told me "This card's drivers don't work with Windows XP Service Pack 3." They said I should roll back Windows to Service Pack 2. No, I'm not kidding. Thanks, D-Link, for wasting my time and money with your misrepresented product.

D-Link sells this card as XP compatible and yet they admit it doesn't work with the current, Windows-approved version of XP. This is pretty close to outright fraud. If it doesn't work with the XP service pack that 95% of users are operating with, then they can't honestly say it works with XP.

This speaks very poorly for D-Link's honesty and integrity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stronger Wireless Reception, June 26, 2007

This card has proven to be much stronger and faster than my previous cards. I would recommend it to anyone looking to increase the speed, as long as they have the wireless hub to push out the signal.
