Lives Up To Expectations on Vista 64 Bit System. P

This product claims to have speeds up to "14x faster than wireless G" and buyers should be forewarned that you aren't going to get that kind of performance improvement. You will, however, see about a 5-6x performance improvement with the right supporting hardware which is nothing to shake a stick...

The D-Link DWA-160 Xtreme N Duo 802.11n USB Adapter was extremely easy to install and appears to be working fine so far. I have installed internal adapters in the past and this is a lot easier as you don't need to open up the box to install; just load the software and plug it in the computer's USB...

Drops signal. Do not buy this.

I began having issues with my lower end d-link usb adapter (DWA-130) dropping connections . The signal from my router was fairly weak with the DWA-130 so i decided to try this DWA-160 out to see if I could get a stronger, more consistent connection.

DISAPPOINTING

This product does not perform as advertised. I have this device connected to a laptop which I placed in the same room as my desktop which has a DWA-552 card installed. The DIR-655 router was in the next room, about 10 feet away.

I Price matched this and got it for 40 bucks. Its really good and always gives me a 300 speed all the time. I don't know what people rated it soo bad. It acually is really good. it doesn't disconnect for me and yaa. Althought there isn't much of a difference over dual band than single.

Bought two of these. My connections via D-Link are running slower and with weaker connectivity than the existing Wi-Fi

Works fine again now

Upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7 and the adapter wasn't recognized at first. Removed it as a device, then physically disconnected it, then reconnected and Win 10 discovered it automatically. Works fine again now. Seems reliable. Had it 4 years now.
