1.0 out of 5 stars terrible tech support, June 25, 2009

By	Y. Lu - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We've been using this product for less than five months, it was working fine while it lasted. Then one day it died, doesn't light up, doesn't do anything. Supposedly it's still under their one-year warranty, we were told that they would send replacement as soon as the tech support deems the product defective. We spent hours on the phone with the tech support! We were told to download and install new drivers, new service packs... while it's obvious that this item simply died! We are supposed to call back again for more "support options". But we decide to give up.
Fortunately Amazon has a good return policy, we'll still be able to get partial refund. You could bet that our next wireless adaptor will not be D-Link!

1.0 out of 5 stars Died after 8 months...., April 17, 2009

By	Robert A. Vanwagenen "history buff" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this in August of 2008. It died in April of 2009. Although it worked without issue for 8 months I would definately not buy this product again. It seems to run hot to the touch and has a short, IMHO, life expectancy. Time to look for something more reliable....

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little gem, August 12, 2008

By	B. Davis (Grand Prairie, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like this little gem. I had a PCI wireless card for my desktop that was several years old and no longer supported by the manufacturer. I needed to upgrade, but I wanted a USB wireless adapter this time around. I wanted to get it out from the bottom of my desk so I could a better signal. I had certain requirements for my new purchase. It couldn't cost any more than $45. It had to be USB. And it had to have some sort of USB extention cable or cradle. It had to be reviewed by Windows Vista users. It also had to have excellent reception. I don't have a big house, but there were a lot of walls and electronics near and in between the Access Point and my computer.

After searching I found the DLink Wireless G adapater fit the bill. I picked it up for $30 (at least $10 less than local stores). All of the reviews talked about great reception, even indepent review sites. And it had the USB craddle I was looking for. I bought it and got free shipping along with it! What a Deal!

I've had this little gem installed for about one month now, I coudn't be happier. It gets great reception. This adapter runs absolutely great with Vista. I am also using the included connection software and it plays very well with Vista.

The only downside is the optional craddle. It requires either a direct computer USB port, or a powered USB hub with an external power supply. It draws more mA than a non-powered hub can handle (at least it did on mine). I had to use the power supply on my USB hub to get the craddle to work. This is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

I highly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed.
