I've had this for about 2 months now. It was intended to run on my windows 200 PC but had very tough luck using it. I found it very difficult to install and configure to run and D-links customer service had several attempts to help with the issue. I did however get it to eventually work but not at its full potential.

If using windows XP, this will work like a charm! It's easy to install and takes about 3 minutes.

I brought this with the D-Link DI-524 router and had no problems pairing them up.

I'm currently using it about 30ft from the base station with one solid wall in the way and usually have very good signal running at the best possible rate of 54Mbps. I do use the extension cable and have found this to be a great advantage. It increased signal from good to very good and occasionally excellent. This helps get it away from the back of the computer and perhaps a bit closer and higher away from any possible interference! D-link did have some trouble with the dongle as is wasn't put in all the packages, i had this problem but if you call customer services they will send you one and should receive within 6 weeks.

The dongle itself is quite long at about 2.5 inches by 1 inch wide. So can be an obstacle if using a laptop, or need your desktop to fit into a tight area.

I have found the rate to vary and has its peak times and occasionally drops for no apparent reason causing slow speeds.

Overall, this is not the best to go with if using windows 2000 or earlier, but with XP works great. So a dissapointment in the case of Windows 2000, but not bad for XP. Although I would recommend looking at the newer wireless dongle released - DWL-G132

Hiya - this isn't a bad review, but you should include a brief introduction as to what the router actually does (wireless router won't mean anything to many people, even those who could conceivably be in the market for one) - and you may want to define 'dongle' for the ignorant - I've always thought the word sounded vaguely filthy! LOL. Cheers
