This leaves you with the Ralink drivers which are source downloadable from Ralink's website, but they're kind of buggy. If you fiddle with them it's possible to get improvement, but getting them to compile and install on 12.04.1 Ubuntu seemed leave them in a state where they drop connections...

It's not like the hardware is horrible..

On Linux if you get the B2 revision of this device it will use an RT5572 chipset; which is not supported (to my knoweldge) by Kernel drivers listed on wireless.kernel.org as of 11/2012

With built-in Wi-Fi now a regular feature of the latest PCs and notebooks, the role of the humble USB adapter is somewhat diminishing. However, with the expansion of 802.11 draft-n Wi-Fi into homes over both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, chances are your computer isn't transferring files at the fastest...

Dual band operation; detailed Wireless Connection Manager

Large; poorly implemented WPS; relatively poor speeds; no Mac OS X support

This is an excellent product. Easy to download software and had it working in minutes. It has never dropped my wireless connection and my connection is super fast. A little more pricier than some others but I'd rather pay a little more and get a much better product than pay $20 less and get...

I puchased this to use on an older HP desktop computer that does not have wireless. I am using it with the D-Link DIR-655 Gigabit router. The software was easy to install and the connection was just as easy.

Easy to move around; Easy To Set Up; Fast Connection Speed; Reliable connection

It has been more than 6 months since purchasing the D-link DWA-160 usb adapter. The product worked fine all this time. So I never gave it a second thought that it would stop working. I came back home from the store to find my internet connection disconnected.

Works prima without fuss, quick and easy installation. 'm Very happy with everything except the price. Fungerar prima utan krångel, snabb och enkel installation. Är jättenöjd med allt förutom priset.

Ordered for use with Fluke Airmagnet Analyzer and Omnipeek.DLink changed the chipset to Ralink 5572, so hardware version is now incompatible with both products.

Have had thid for about 6 weeks and is very easy to install

Right out of the box it was a little sketchy. After reading the instructions, I plugged it in as it said and it did not work. I then went to the website, downloaded the drivers and tried again, no luck. I spent a while on YouTube and the D-Link support site but no solution.

i am happy with this

this beast squeezed 144 mbps out of a router that can only do 100 and from 100(more like 96) feet too this is good

it broke by usb port by the process of overvolting and i dont know how (it probably wasn't the card
