What's great about it: Great connectivity, doesnt drop signal, so easy to install
What's not so great: sticks out of laptop a little far
I bought this card for my laptop and I couldn't be happier. I read reviews on all of Best Buys wireless cards and this one had great ones. I also have a D Link wireless router and the two work beautifully together. Always has excellent signal strength, never has dropped signals, and internet speeds are FAST! You cant go wrong purchasing this one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 2 for D-Link Xtreme N Wireless-N Notebook Card
Best N - notebook adapter for two of my notebooks
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Connectivity
What's not so great: N/A
I have purchased two, DWA652 adapters for Lenovo and Dell notebooks. Each NB has internal G-band adapters, and I have upgraded to an N-band only frequency with a Linksys router.
I was unsuccessful gaining consistent connectivity with USB N-band adapters from Linksys and Belkin. The DWA652 is the only adapter that has connected immediately and has delivered the 300 MPS connection speeds. I am currently using an Atheros driver, awaiting the Windows 7 driver updates for both notebooks.
The computer comes with Network Magic, which is a great application for managing the overall network.
Customer service communications (e-mail based) has been satisfactory; but I would prefer telephonic communications.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Never drop connection
What's not so great: None thus far
This product was very simple and intuitive, straight out of the box. I have an older laptop (~5 years old) and the wireless card worked but I would drop signal intermittently. As an online gamer, it was really important to me to get a wireless card that could hold a signal and eliminate lag or drops. I am currently using a wireless g router and this card performed exactly as I had hoped, and I have yet to get disconnected from gaming ever since I bought it. I would strongly recommend this product if keeping a strong, steady signal is important to you. If you just want to get connected to browse the internet, go a cheaper route but this is a must have for online gamers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Very easy to install.
What's not so great: I found it for less after I purchased it at Best Buy. :(
I have had problems accessing the 'Net since I got my laptop. The network adapter provided by the vendor would have to be turned off and turned on again, reinstalled, or have the drivers downloaded repeatedly. We upgraded our router and I decided to buy an N-Wireless card.
Using the 'Net now is effortless. The card was simple to install and the directions were easy to understand and follow. I am so glad I did this!

What's great about it: Perfect connectivity, easy to setup
What's not so great: Make sure your laptop battery is up to par
This card has been great. Perfect connectivity, easy setup, and flawless performance. Returned a Dynex USB adapter because it was losing connection, and I realized that the USB 1.0 port on my laptop was much slower than the CardBus port that I use this card on.
I offer one word of caution: make sure your laptop's battery is up to par. My battery was several years old, and this card caused my laptop to lockup if it was inserted without the laptop power being plugged directly into the wall, and even with it plugged into the wall, I would still have random lock-ups (especially when trying to go into standby, or wake up from standy). After some research and trial and error, I figured out that there were 2 ways around this problem: 1) remove the laptop battery and use it straight off wall power; or 2) purchase a new laptop battery (which I did). With either or both of these steps taken, I now have no problems at all. With the new laptop battery I can even use it with the battery left in the laptop and I have no problems.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Fast Connection. Great Range. Easy Setup
What's not so great: None
I bought this when I upgraded my router to the Xtreme Wireless N (also by Dlink). Works superbly. I average 130Mbps all over the house (through walls and all). The connection never drops, even when I'm on my 2.4Ghz cordless phone. I even tried it with my of G router and got the maximum speed consistently. Overall a great product.

It could not be better.This is the fastest speed that I never feel. The connection is more stable and faster than before. What's more, it helps to save one more hour laptop battery life. It's so cool !
