D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122

I bought the DSL G604T router/ADSL modem/firewall/WLAN hub in mid 2005 (see my review of it in Ciao) and the DWL G122 came as part of the kit. Given that the kit cost me £58 and the DWL retails at ~£25 separately I consider that a very good deal :-> . I won't include the specifications here as that would be to just duplicate what is already listed in the Ciao product overview (I've checked it). What you get in the box: 1. The dongle. 2. An extension ...
...the dongle 3. Manual and CD The dongle is larger than you may expect, so may not comfortably sit in some USB ports if space is limited ( I could not but help compare it with my Bluetooth dongle, which you will find I've also reviewed in Ciao).

Review of D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122

I was given the d-link dongle dwl-g122 and hub by a friend so I don't have any comment regarding the price. The WIFI adapter was really easy to use and loading the drivers a breeze. It links onto my SKY router with no problems. I am using the dongle via the cradle on an old laptop and also on a 5 year old 'TIME' computer. I would definately recommend the d-link adapter dwl-g122. ...
