 Tiny wireless N for a great price July 13, 2010

This is a great little adapter. It gets pretty good reception throughout my apartment and in hotels that I've been in. I haven't really seen how far it will go but where I've gone it's been perfect. The d-link software is pretty seamless, and very unobtrusive. All you see is the little taskbar icon pop up when you boot, not some huge splash screen like the belkin I had previously.
On the downside, while at Origins game fair there was a public 'g' network that it could not connect to. Once I removed it and used my laptop's native 'g' connection I connected with no troubles. The d-link just wasn't having it. Everywhere else I've been it connecting quickly with no issues though. The other downside is that after using it a while it gets pretty hot to the touch. Doesn't affect it's performance, just something I noticed.
Pros: Tiny, Unobtrusive software, Good range
Cons: It gets hot, Sometimes has trouble with non 'n' networks

This wireless N adapter is small enough not to get in your way when using your computer.It fits snug in the USB port.Has a blinking Blue light,that may bother some people but I don't mind it.Only problem is it heats up and gets really hot, especially the part the goes in the USB. Gets good speed and fast installation.
Great Product!!!!!!! March 30, 2010

This is a great product for any laptop that needs a wireless connection. Works great with Windows XP, SP3. Other wireless cards failed, but this works!!!. And the "Nano" size is a great feature. Buy it!!!!
Fantastic value and the smallest Wifi USB I've seen July 19, 2010

I purchased this because my Belkin Wireless-G USB adapter was sticking out about 4 inches from my laptop and suffered from frequent clumsy-hand bumps and disconnects. I saw this on sale and it seemed perfect. I got it in one day with my free Prime 2-day shipping (thanks for being on the ball Amazon!). This thing is fantastic. It's as small as you think it is, and it sticks out less than an inch from my laptop. The blue activity light on it is a little bright, but I got used to it quickly. Signal quality is outstanding; much better than my laptop's previous internal wifi, and it sees 26(!) networks in my vicinity (my Belkin adapter saw 12). This has been worth every penny so far.
Works fine with Windows, Linux install a little complex. July 29, 2010

First, it's really small which makes it quite convenient if you're on a laptop and don't want a huge dongle sticking out. I first thought there was no Linux support, but D-link does provide drivers with a somewhat convoluted way of installing it ([...]). It seems that you have to build the code and install it in the kernel. I haven't gone as far as that yet. But eh, who can complain when they have Linux drivers available =) My boyfriend has Windows and he could install it through the search drivers online options. It gets signal just fine.
