Great Product!!!, February 16, 2005
This review is from: D-Link DWL-922 Wireless USB Network Router/Adapter Kit, 802.11g, 54Mbps, Includes DI-524 & DWL-G122 (Personal Computers)
I like this product. It comes with a 802.11g, 54Mbps router and a USB 1.0 adapter. So, everyone has high speed internet and a computer can have wireless internet using the D-Link DWL-922.
The performance is excellent. It did not slow down the connection speed. One tip for those who brought the DWL-922. Log on the web-site and find the appropriate installation precedure. DON'T trust the maunal from the box. Their web-site has more detail, step-by-step instruction. It can save you hours of works.

decent product, January 8, 2006
This review is from: D-Link DWL-922 Wireless USB Network Router/Adapter Kit, 802.11g, 54Mbps, Includes DI-524 & DWL-G122 (Personal Computers)
I upgraded my network from an all netgear 802.11 b to this. I have a wireless printer, a wired desktop, a laptop with an internal wireless nic, and my tivo uses the usb adapter. I went with D-Link strictly on price, and it was really an insignificant $5 - $10 difference too. I wish I had gone with the netgear kit.
A few comments on the router:
1) The netgear routers look better. The lights are a little softer on the netgear, not that this thing keeps me up at night or anything.
2) The web interface is much more intuitive and better designed on the netgear stuff than on this one.
3) The firewall feature limits the number of domains I can block at 10. I have many more to block (I block certain domains that malicious programs use to "phone home", and other more intrusive ad sites). I never ran into a limit with the netgear router.
4) The D-Link doesn't have the ability to limit the devices that are allowed to wirelessly connect. The netgear stuff allowed me to set up an access list, supplying the MAC addresses of the devices that I want connecting to it. This is one way of trying to keep unwanted guests off my network. I'm reasonably safe with the encryption and not broadcasting my SSID, but I'm still paranoid without this feature.
As far as the USB adapter, I plugged it into my Tivo, and tivo is happy with it. So I don't really have much to say about it. (incidentally, I don't think Tivo is actually any faster, which kinda defeats the whole reason I upgraded the network to begin with. Oh well!)
All in all, like I said, I wish I had gotten the netgear stuff. This works fine, and was easy enough to set up once I got used to the interface. It seems reliable enough too. I'm saying it's a bad product, but I think the netgear stuff is better.

Poor wireless signal, have to restart router every 15mins, May 25, 2006
This review is from: D-Link DWL-922 Wireless USB Network Router/Adapter Kit, 802.11g, 54Mbps, Includes DI-524 & DWL-G122 (Personal Computers)
Restart router every 15 minutes... I use SBC Yahoo DSL, I dont know if it's the reason (as some guy mentioned above)... no internet so I have to restart the router.
Wireless signal is sooo unstable. I use the USB wireless adapter included in the kit. Even though the router& adapter is 1 meter from each other, signal still weak, speed varies from 11 to 54mbps.
LOL... far to be as good as my current 2 year old Belkin wireless 54G router.
Bought this poor stuff just because want to give my mum one.
(PS. here we go... I pressed to send this review... but have to restart the router first... to re-connect to internet :((((
