D-Link DWL-G122 Wireless G USB Dongle

An Adaptor That WORKS With VISTA!!
Had this product for a few days now, brilliant compared to the Belkin one I had before. Belkin did supply Vista drivers but the thing didn't work that's for sure, it gave about 2 bars signal.

This D-Link is in a different league, Plug in, looks for drivers and installs automatically, then once your connected Windows update supplies the latest drivers which actually work! No worries at all for a change!

Still working, full signal, couldn't ask for anything more! WELL DONE D-Link!
Good when it works BUT...
Bought this along with a D-Link DSL-G604T router. I've given DWL-G122 adaptor two stars as it is a really good product when it works but D-Links support is awful. I have had this product for just over a year and I do take care of my computer items.

The positive: It worked well with my laptop for the first 4 months - easy to install, picked up a good connection in the house and had no clashes with XP.

The negative: However, it just stopped working my computer and any other laptop refused to see it when connected. I have since spent many hours on the phone to D-Link with each call I have to repeat the same procedure with my computer which takes considerable time and then they send me to their FTP to download new drivers and it doesn't work I have to go on and do it all again 6 months later I'm binning a faulty adaptor nothing to do with drivers!

The verdict: If it works and you've got some computer software knowledge to fix any problems yourself I think...
Do not buy it for gaming...
I've had this adpater for a long time now, lags out every 30 seconds or so for 2-5 seconds, when searching the Internet you don't notice, but when your playing a Online game its a killer, stresses you out, and even with updates and reboots and even moving around it still lags out.

Poor show, this adapter is for workstations only.
