Rating: - RETURNED
I had to returned the item due to error on my part. Returned handled professionally.
Rating: - Great with XP but
I have been using this adapter for almost 3 years now. Works flawlessly with windows XP. Vista, however is different story.
Caution: Only version D1 of this product may work with Vista. D-link only provides beta version of drivers for D1 meaning it may or may not work. I have version A2 for which D-link did not bother to update the drivers and hence 3 stars. Not wanting to spend another $50, I will be sticking with XP.
Rating: - Just as Good as It Gets!
I've been using this adapter for more than a year with very few problems, I would say it works 99.9% of the time.
Trust me it works as well as any other top of the line adapter.
I have owned Linksys and other brands and I prefer the D-link one.
Rating: - D-Link make it pretty easy to get a wireless network up-and-running
The G-122 works like a dream with Vista once you can find the driver at the D-Link site. Vista sorts out all the configuration for you.
Also works well with Windows 2000 but you have to configure it using a utility, which is not that intuitive to use - required a visit to D-link support site to figure out how to set up a secured network.
Didn't work on my Windows ME PC when the wireless network was secured but did work when it was unsecured.
Rating: - worked great (for one week)
Inexpensive ($30) and easy to install on my Dell Vista desktop. Worked fine for one week, then kept having problems detecting the signal from my wireless access point. Coughed up $69 and bought a Linksys wireless-G USB adapter which works almost problem free (at 54 Mbps speed). Guess you get what you pay for....
