Wireless N-300 Mbps USB Wi-Fi Network Adapter (DWA-131)

I purchased this because my Belkin Wireless-G USB adapter was sticking out about 4 inches from my laptop and suffered from frequent clumsy-hand bumps and disconnects. I saw this on sale and it seemed perfect. I got it in one day with my free Prime 2-day shipping (thanks for being on the ball Amazon!). This thing is fantastic. It's as small as you think it is, and it sticks out less than an inch from my laptop. The blue activity light on it is a little bright, but I got used to it quickly. Signal quality is outstanding; much better than my laptop's previous internal wifi, and it sees 26(!) networks in my vicinity (my Belkin adapter saw 12). This has been worth every penny so far.

If you wrote a negative review for this, you should be ashamed! This little baby works flawlessly... As for it getting hot like some people complained, you guys are really little girls.. it barely gets hot at all, just WARM. What do you expect from such a tiny piece lol. As for the signal problems or people saying it disconnects.. um YEAH If you are just starting up the computer don't expect it to be insta-connected, it takes a little bit but it's well worth it. Not once has it DISCONNECTED On me, show some patience people. This may also happen when you come out of sleep mode so don't be impatient. Although I haven't tested it at super ranges, it serves it's purpose very well connecting my desktop in another room to the other side of the house. Very good product I HIGHLY Recommend it. Enjoy being wireless :D

Works great with VCM2. Needs two for it to work correctly, one for the laptop (even if the laptops has Bluetooth) and one for the VCM. Ford tech here that bought my own VCM2 and wanted to go wireless and I use this, my laptop and VCM2 3-4 times a day. Not an issue at all, highly recommend over the same thing on the rotunda website for 4x the money.

Once installed this worked well. The installation was on an older Windows XP desktop. I could not get it to connect to a brand new D-Link router. After fiddling with it for some time I called D-Link Tech Support. The Tech was VERY patient and helpful. After going through all the normal steps he finally asked me to reset (restart) the router. That seemed to do the trick. Likely installation on a newer PC would have been easier. High praise for excellent D-Link tech support! I would still recommend this unit as it does the job and good tech support is, to me, the reason I stay with D-Link products.

This is a great little adapter. It gets pretty good reception throughout my apartment and in hotels that I've been in. I haven't really seen how far it will go but where I've gone it's been perfect. The d-link software is pretty seamless, and very unobtrusive. All you see is the little taskbar icon pop up when you boot, not some huge splash screen like the belkin I had previously. On the downside, while at Origins game fair there was a public 'g' network that it could not connect to. Once I removed it and used my laptop's native 'g' connection I connected with no troubles. The d-link just wasn't having it. Everywhere else I've been it connecting quickly with no issues though. The other downside is that after using it a while it gets pretty hot to the touch. Doesn't affect it's performance, just something I noticed. Pros: Tiny, Unobtrusive software, Good range Cons: It gets hot, Sometimes has trouble with non 'n' networks

Just received the item. I can confirm that it works with my Macbook Pro Mid-2010 running OSX 10.7.5 It uses the Realtek RTL8192SU chipset. You need to go to the Realtek website and download the driver/software for it. OSX doesn't recognize it as an aircard, so you need to manage it through the realtek software. I have gone through 3 other usb wifi cards trying to find one that works after my wifi stopped working, This one works the best out of all of them so far. I was about to give up before purchasing this one. It is a little bigger than some of the other ones and I would have preferred it to be a little smaller, but the reception on the smaller ones was terrible and they just stopped working altogether sometimes. I will take this one any day.

At first i was not pleased.... it didn't work at all! I then figured out that i should have done my research and I would have realized that the adapter wasn't compatible with my device! (not a pc). I installed it on one of my pc's....... and it worked great! So altogether a great item.... but now i have the adapter with nothing to use it on! LOL! (all my pc's have wireless already built in!) I will save it for a future need, or if I have a friend or family member that might be able to use it. Altogether a great buying experience!

I am expanding my home network to upstairs corner with my new desktop system, where I am unable to pull a physical cable easily. Everyone said I should just get a USB adapter because I have a N wireless router. I hesitated and I am honestly not a big fan of those adapter, because from cost stand point, a USB adapter is not always cheap depend on the brand. This one is cheap, at Amazon, and it's tiny, so I give it a try. I prefer to read the manual first before do anything. The driver installation is painful, if you don't install driver first, it won't work. After that, you have to configure, assuming you are geek enough to know every network term to know what to fill at which column. After I got driver out of the way, the system initially was within 10-foot range of the router, so it worked perfect. Good connection speed. However, after I moved the system to the planned location - a corner of my upstairs house. This guy can't find the signal. My Netgear dual-band N router is working well, I used my another laptop, it capture the connection in a snap, at the same spot. But this D-Link nano, I have to move around from my 6 USB slots, to find the ones that it can detect the network and connect. I also have some problems about its connection stability. It loses signal frequently, and complains a lot, do plenty of self-trouble-shooting and gone no where. Not to mention, someone in previous review also notice, it got really "HOT" when connect over 20 minutes. So now I am considering to save up enough money to do the PowerLine option, or when Amazon has a deal / sale on those items. I will keep it, not because it's a great product, but it can get by.

Adattatore perfetto. L'ho installato sul mio oscilloscopio Fluke, che tra l'altro è pure quello consigliato e, che dire, subito pronto all'uso. Ad un prezzo bomba, non posso che dare una valutazione ultra TOP.

Does the job, Thank you. Arrived quickly too and was packaged well.

مكتوب على الجهاز i-roch وليس D-Link كما هو معروض بالصور كما أن أبعاد وشكل الجهاز مختلفة بشكل كلى عن المعروض فالجهاز ليس له غطاء كما بالصور ولكنه يعمل حتى الآن

For some reason my ASUS barebone M3A-3200 wouldn't recognise the Netgear wireless dongle which we had been using for a while in another machine (ACER 5100). Having a D-Link DIR-855 router I chose to go with the same manufacturer to try and sort it out. It worked, the signal quality is good enough for it be used in a bedroom, where the signal is passing through a floor and a wall. I can only give this product 5 stars as it does exactly what I wanted it to do and it does it well, is unobtrusive and is relatively inexpensive. Upload and download speeds are better than expected for a small dongle

3 days feedback ...its working good
