    wil from Raleigh nc  

    I downloaded the drivers from the internet, install the card on my computer power off ofcourse and the rest was just say yes to vista and the card has been working flawless on my wireless network...not one single error or reboot like my netgear card...i have a triple core phenom running vista 64 ....i get perfect reception and i'm behind several rooms....i would recommend this card to anyone that uses vista 64 and follows my steps.

    4 of 5 Unique Adapter Monday, October 27, 2008
    A Customer from Indianapolis, IN  
    The field for PCI Express wireless adapters is limited. This product works well, but is a little expensive. Many of the newer motherboards are dropping the old PCI slots, so the market for PCI-E will grow. This is a fast adapter, installs easily. Just pricey, like all things N, it seems

    3 of 5 Very fast..but drops signal downloading large file Friday, April 20, 2007
    A Customer from Wyckoff, NJ  
    After installing the card (which took no time at all), I was browsing the Internet at ridiculous speeds (I recently got Verizon FiOS, fiber optic cable to the home). However, the minute I try to download large files, the signal gets droppped and will not reconnect to my wireless router/modem until I either restart the router/modem or the computer. VERY FRUSTRATING! I contacted D-Link support and they were not able to do anything except tell me to call Verizon support. So I am no longer using the card (I hardwired my connection with RG45 Ethernet cable) until I can get new equipment - hopefully a wireless N router.
