5.0 out of 5 stars I set up my home network already. It Works Great !!!, June 5, 2004

Received my D-Link router from Amazon finally. I am using Microsoft USB wireless on my station in my room. It can detect my base station right the way after setup. No problem, full 54 Mbps all the time with excellent signal. D-Link and Microsoft works together with no problem. Five stars on this product.

I bought this because it was cheap on sale and I repented big time. Spent almost 12 days configuring it but Microsoft Technical support could not configure it with my D-Link DI-624 Super G router. They were not able to setup encryption key and was not able to detect my wireless network. Microsoft transfers their tech. support calls to Far East country like India and most Level 1 support technicians don't know much beyond simple manual reading knowledge. Worst, their manager used to call me after midnight. Is that a time to call back??? At least they should check which time zone they are calling. And in middle of night asking my e-mail address where he can send solution?? After having their case open more than 10 days he still couldn't find my e-mail address in their database with my ticket. Worst technical support. If u want to be bothered in middle of night like 1 a.m. buy this one and enjoy harassment.

After just purchasing a similar OEM unit from a major online retailer, I'm a little upset because I would of saved $20 if I had known about this product. USB alternatives like this have made desktop and notebook cards obsolete. You no longer have to crack the case or install and configure new drivers ... it can't get any easier than this plug-and-play solution to setting up a wireless home or small office network.
