Outstanding sensitivity and performance compared to other USB adapters I have tried and much better than my built-in mini-PCI card. Better SNR by up to 20dB, sees more APs. Utilities are very useful. Works with NetStumbler also. Installs easily under XP. D-Link support could be better, but few issues. Highly recommended.

I tried it on two machines running window 2000 Pro. One got blue screen, the other got reboot. Swap a new one with dealer, problem still happened. A nice wireless adapter if it won't reboot my machine.
Good luck if you would ever need customer support from this company. Expect to wait on hold NO LESS THAN 45 minutes to 1 hour and STILL NOT GET ANYTHING but recorded messages!!! I got some Email support "answers." The answers did not work. I wrote back. Each time support wrote back, they came across as petulant and condescending. I even searched their support website for solutions. The bottom line is I could never get their Router up and running.
If I could give D-Link a negative 10 on Amazon's review page, I would, but it only gives me a chance to offer a 1 through 5.

I had a sieman usb adapter and thought that was pretty good, then I got the Dlink 614+ router and wanted to try this out. I was surprised to see that the signal was absolutely great. I started to walk outside with it and it still worked, I also got a signal from a local CVS store. I also picked up the Dlink 650+ and it was just as good. The speed of the 650+ had a transfer rate of 1.8 MegaByte while the 120+ barely made it to 1 MegaByte(due to the limitation of usb1 tech) but other then that this is a great desktop solution. 1 MegaByte isn't much but you can pretty much stream any videos or movies from other computers on the network. Theres also a G series of this using USB2, that should take care of the bandwidth problems. The antenna is mostly cosmetic, helps a little but I never really had to push it up since the signal was always good(around 80%). This product is amazonly" small, about the size of 5xAA batteries lined up together and weights nothing. Highly recommend for desktops, even laptops if you want that extra distance

with the USB cable that is provided you can position this in the best possible position for the best wireless signal quality. for example: if i was to place this adapter on top of my PC case I get 50%-60% signal strength, but if i put it on the top of my desk at a higher point away from electronics like my PC and my monitor i get 75-80% signal strength. The link quality is the same in either spot but that strength gets me an extra couple Mbps in transfer speeds. this adapter was also very easy to install and get working. configuration is a snap and i'd bet most people find this very useful.

I bring this with my laptop and whenever I want a wireless connection I just need to plug this in my USB slot and BAM I can start searching for a htospot. This USB adapter has been working great with zero problems since I got it. Software is nice as well, since it is pretty informative and helps you find a good AP to connect to. Range is surprisingly good as well.

Although I usually buy netgear stuff (I own a netgear wireless router), I opted to get the d-link USB adapter. Setup wasn't a problem and it works very well. I'm satisfied with it so far. In addition, this unit is small. I was pretty surprised. It's smaller than a wallet, about 2"x3".
