The absolute best NIC w/ antenna combo available to this date. Extremely good range and the Atheros chipset is awesome. Buy this.

Issues with the adapter make it hard to recommended.......2006-04-10

First off, I do have some knowledge about computers and networking so you can be reassured that I have gone through a lot of trouble with this product.

When I first received the product it was working fine for the must part, although there would be issues here and there. Then I started getting low or no signal, and the A- radio died out.
Apparently the Netgear dual band pci adapter is way better in terms of(wag311) connecting. D-link's software seems as if you operating a non-working machine that's says its working.

As for tech suport, it took one of my family members hours on the phone all day, to finally get a new unit Rma'd to him. The new unit is actually an older model- the hardwired antenna, which I don't like but I figured, maybe it will work. So far it "works" but the signal strenght is not so great at times, as the first one used to be.

Trouble with the di-784 happened also, but I have received the firmware upgrade for that so I am waiting to see what happens. In short, it takes a lot of convicing tech support that something is wrong, I even switched adapters in my computer with the netgear, AND tried using the d-link in another computer, you also shouldnt have to call 5 times, from morning to night and wait to get an RMA.

I hope my router doesnt' act up, I am starting to think that D-link is horriblr, but atleast the new di-784 firmware makes some interesting changes. Stay tuned.

This is the third D-Link component in my wireless family.
The product i recieved is exactly as pictured. I bought this unit for the cabled antenna. The solid oak desk would have hampered reception for any antenna mounted on a pci card.
The unit installed easily. My problems started when i tried to connect to my 2+ year old D-Link DI-624 router. Could not get properly connected. But no worries. D-Link's 24/7 live tech support to the rescue. Great stuff in a day of fading product support.
Turned out i needed to upgrade the firmware of the 2 year old router. That was simple and fast.
Reception is pretty good all the way down to the basement with the router on the second floor. File transfer could be faster, but the cable internet connection is shared flawlessly with no loss of speed.
The 2+ year old DWL-G650 wireles card in this notebook still works great too.

Frist what you see is not what you get. Picture is of the DWL-G550
The DWL-AG530 should be recalled because the Antenna cable is directly attached to the board. So every time you move your antenna the connection to the board is also moved and your connection will deterorate over time. D-Link has a new product out that fixed this problem. The DWL-G550 has a great Antenna that screws into the board and fixes the poor design of the DWL-AG530.
-----------DO NOT BUY THE DWL-AG530-------------
Check out the DWL-G550 or one that has a detachable antenna!
