Installed & Connected [Posted on 2008-01-24]
Bought this for an older XP desktop upstairs. Little confusion from Quick Start Guide and Installation Manual. Quick Start says to install PCI card before drivers, Install Manual says the opposite, but I figured it all out. Then trying to find my network was a little exploration, but you have to use the D-Link Client, not Windows. All in all, it works, signal's strong and no wires to snake downstairs. Just wonder what'll happen if I replace desktop with a Vista machine.
Doesn't Work with older Operating Systems [Posted on 2008-02-27]
I tried to use this with an Older computer that I have, which is running Windows ME. I know Windows ME sucks, but it also gives you a hard time when you try to upgrade. This is a second computer in my basement so it isn't worth the trouble. Anyway, check out which operating systems it will work with before you buy this product. I had to return it.
Excellent product [Posted on 2008-03-30]
This device works flawlessly with my D-Link DGL-4300 wireless gaming router. I use it mainly for my living room PC which doesn't do a whole lot, but these two devices get the job done! I don't have much technical info for you, but if you are looking for a good and reliable setup, this device along with the DGL-4300 are the best solution IMO. I have tons of issues with Linksys, especially their client software which is just hideous, which is why I researched and switched to this combination. You can't go wrong with these two!
a BEAST [Posted on 2008-05-22]
I replaced a Linksys Wireless-N PCI Adapter WMP300N with this unit - upon scanning there were over two dozen more visible wireless networks with the D-Link than with the former unit - I connected to open networks that the Linksys couldn't even detect. The configuration utility is simple to use and responds quickly to changes. The antenna is a bit light and it fell off my desk while I was screwing it into the case. I highly recommend.
D-Link G550 expected more [Posted on 2008-06-23]
It was to my surprise that I only got a poor signal from the D-Link G550 Wireless Adapter specially after all the reviews I read about it. My laptop pc that was right next to the antenna received a "very good" signal. So the problem had to be with the D-Link. and changing the position or direction of the antenna had absolutely no effect on the signal range.
Other than that the adapter and cd installation was smooth even with vista.
