D-Link WDA-2320 More than Meets My Needs [Posted on 2007-05-21] Purchase of this network card finalized my project of getting all 6 of my machines on my wireless network. Product meets my expetations and was priced within an acceptable range
Range did not improve [Posted on 2007-06-12] My desktop had a older LinkSys 802.11b PCI card installed and the reception strength was very low from my office area. I decided to buy this card and upgrade the speed and hopefully gain better range and reception. Didn't work out. This card constantly disconnected and the reception was worse that the old Linksys.
I sent it back.
Wireless issues gone [Posted on 2008-03-28] I bought this adapter to replace a Linksys WMP54G one, since it was having some issues with constant transfers (downloading big files or gaming). This D-Link adapter has cured all of it, however, I find it very strange (and disappointing), that being a "Rangebooster" device, it decreased the signal strength instead of boosting it. So, to sum it all up:
Old Linksys device: constant transfer issues, "Excellent" signal.
New D-link device: perfect transfers, no more hiccups, "Average" signal.
It isn't causing any issues at all, so it doesn't bother me that much. Recommended product.
Good Item. [Posted on 2008-05-11] It's Ok.
But the signal seems a little weak.
Before I use a usb wireless adapter,
but this item seems not as good as the usb one.
XP SP3 works great [Posted on 2008-08-13] I'm not sure what the environment is that other people are using. I have a Dell 8250 (older tower) running Windows XP Home with SP3. I had bad luck with a different model card so I was leery of this one and did not install all of their software. My steps were:
1. Create system restore point
2. Download the latest drivers from the D-Link web site (version 1.20 at http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=471) as I write.
3. Shut off the computer, install the card, turn the computer back on.
4. At the new hardware wizard, point to the downloaded drivers.
5. Watch everything work well!
It saw my wireless network running with WPA2 right away and connected. I'm getting great speed, and no CPU issues.
