Customer Reviews:

Yes, and no.......2007-05-12

Neither the D-Link website nor Amazon mention that this is not Vista compatible (or at leat they didn't when I bought it); I found out when I called the D-Link help line. Since I had bought this to create a network with a new computer, that poses a bit of a problem. However, the product does work well with an XP computer, although it occasionally disappears from the desktop and the software doesn't open; later, it mysteriously reappears. This, of course, could be the computer or the Netgear router, not the adapter. Consistently has a 108 Mbps signal.

Some problems.......2007-04-06

I am not sure if it was the router or this wireless device (both D-Link) but I had a lot of network problems getting this to work. I had more success on the road, so my guess is it was the D-Link router, but still the signal strength was always a problem. The one nice feature is its was easy to carry. I used the USB extension that came with it for easy connection. Still, I cannot call this a great product. Just ok.

Not even connect to DI-624........2007-03-09

I bought this to connect my desktop computer to my DI-624 at 108Mbps.
I installed properly and device is working properly.
Network signal is very strong. The network is not encrpted. It is fully open.
BUT DWL-G132 does not connect to the DI-624 router. No error message..

Don't waste your money.......2007-02-11

This adapter has driver problems. I downloaded all the recommended software. It still does not work right. I went to the Dlink support site, no help.

It will not let my computer shut down correctly in hibernation or standby mode. In hibernation, it just keeps running the computer and will not shut down. In standby, when I bring it back up it says I ejected the hardware incorrectly.

Please, please don't waste your money. Buy something that works. I have used Netgear with great success, never has these kind of problems. I wish I stuck with them.

Works great!.......2007-01-11

I am using it for the last 3 months. And have no problem with it. I didnot connect the USB directly to the computer. I used the cradle and have no problems with it so far. Worth the money spent.
