What Customers Say About D-Link DWL-G120 Wireless USB Adapter, 802.11g, 54Mbps:

Cable is long enough so you can place it on top of computer or on a shelf for better reception. This thing worked great. Super easy to setup.
I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable wireless adapter. Once I found one of the only places in my office where I could get a "Good" signal, I found out that the signal only lasts for a little while. I purchased it about 7 months ago and it has been nothing but unreliable from the start. I even tried sitting it right by a laptop of mine that, in the same location, gets an "Excellent" signal from my wireless router. When it would connect to my wireless router, it had decent transfer speed, but it was so inconsistent that I would periodically have to drag out my 30' cable and connect to the wired port in my router when having to move more than a few files. Finally, after the signal kept dropping for longer periods, the adapter simply stopped working, alternating between attempting to connect to my network and scanning for a wireless network. Out of the box, it would not work at all with the built-in Wireless Connections tool built into XP. After installing the proprietary DWL-G120 Utility program, it took me what seemed like forever to find a decent spot to get any type of a usable signal.
The network card would drop to 20%, and then back up to 50-60% periodically the whole time my PC was up. I finally just tossed it in the trash. This adapter has been my worst computer peripheral purchase, ever. While not a big deal, it still made me wonder about the product. I never saw a signal any higher than 60 or 65% in the DWL-G120 utility.
However, it is NOT Vista compatible. This item is excellent overall if you have XP. I found a driver off the D-Link Taiwanese website that got the driver to work, but it still produced annoying errors and the device does not consistently perform in Vista.It is not likely that D-Link will produce a Vista-compatible driver, since this product has been discontinued.Do not buy this if you have Vista or are thinking about getting Vista.
But since I had opened the box, the seller refused to accept a return. After purchasing this item I discovered it was not compatible with the WPA encryption on my wireless network. Make sure you do your research and confirm that this adapter will work for you.
But so far I find no fine tuning needed. With Windows in control of it there are almost no config options available. But for the trivial price, it's a real bargain. Sensitivity is great. This USB 802.11g adapter is regularly able to pick up 4 to 6 times as many nearby APs as any of my PCMCIA based WLAN adapters, and in 3 weeks has never dropped my link, to my knowlege. The worst thing I can say about this adapter is that it is a little too small and light--the normal springyness of the USB cable makes it unlikely to sit flat on any surface without velcro, and difficult to "aim".
