D-link Wireless N Usb Nano Adapter


Works with WDTV Live
Can confirm this works great with a WD TV Live media player. Only a couple of minutes from opening the box to working internet on WD TV Live, longest part was typing in the wireless key using the remote. Signal strength hasn't really been tested as it is only 10m for the wireless hub. Very pleased.
Compatability issues?
I bought this because it is one of the few wireless adapters which Microsoft claim to be fully compatible with Windows 7.

Despite a number of attempts, the drivers will not install from the D-Link product CD, and it took quite a bit of digging around to find a driver on their website which was suitable. I did, eventually, get it up and running however, but the connection was quite slow.

I since moved this to my old Windows XP computer, and it installed first time, and works a treat.
Works Great
I originally purchased the Belkin Micro adapter but I had issues with it from the start. After installation, and even after updating the driver, the adapter would drop its connection and the speed was actually less than the Wireless G adapter that is built into my laptop. I returned that Belkin adapter and purchased this D-link Nano adapter and it worked great from the beginning. No dropped connections and a much faster speed than my laptops wireless G adapter. I went from 12MB download to at times, 32 MB download. Surfing the net is much faster now.
