"Solved A Problem"
I needed to work on computers in my basement. This card allows me to plug it into the computer I'm working on and access the internet through my wireless router. It works great and solves my problem. My router is about 60 feet from my work bench in the basement and I get good transfers.

"Are you running Vista?"
I'll bet you aren't if you are using this card.

The reason I gave this ** rather than * is that it works great on XP and ME. But try using it with Vista running on a Core 2 Duo system, and the system freezes on bootup. My workaround is to disable the card, start up the system, then re-enable it. Then, it works fine. But one has to remember to disable it every time they intend to shutdown or restart their system. The D-Link website says there is a beta Vista driver, but I downloaded it and there was no change.

And speaking of D-Link support, three years ago, when I purchased my first D-Link product, it was great. Now, they have apparently oursourced to Asia somewhere, and it absolutely sucks. The support rep had me trying to fix the problem by troubleshooting it as a generic network problem--which it obviously isn't. It is a Vista/D-Link driver problem. He (or she) simply wouldn't accept the fact that there was no problem on my network.

What was my final solution? I drove two miles to my local Best Buy store and purchased a Belkin/USB wireless card for $17.95 plus tax. It works fine on my new Vista system.

"So much better than the Netgear one"
Okay, so everyone has their own experience with this stuff. Maybe it's because we have the D-link wireless router that the Netgear card was a horror: constantly having to repair the network connection, having to reboot, dealing with weak signals, etc.

So I replaced my Netgear card with this D-link one and the problems completely disappeared. What else can I say - other than say I have:

- Windows XP (patched to the latest)
- a circa 2006 Dell XPS 400 with 2 gig of memory and a Pentium D CPU, running at 3.00GHz

"Wi fi"
This is a good card. Good range and I have never lost my signal.

"Works Great"
Works great, connection is good through a wall. One thing is I am not sure why i need to repair my conncetion sometimes but once it's repaired it works great.
