D-Link is a horrible company.......2007-04-21

All D-Link products are horrible, miserable hunks of junk. You should not buy this product or the rebranded version from US Robotics. It does not work with the latest versions of Skype. D-Link has not ever updated their buggy drivers. It causes Skype to crash very frequently. The sound quality is poor. To dial a number, you have to prepend your country code (00 in US) even though Skype doesn't require this. There's something wrong with the ring tone, which sounds like it's struggling to ring.

Basically, don't ever buy another D-Link product. The products are cheap because they are terrible.

Horrible - Don't waste your money.......2007-02-06

If I could give it ZERO stars I would have. This is the worst thing you could buy if you want to use Skype. Constant hang ups will frustrate you and cost you money Skype in the way of skype credit. Don't buy this, it was one of the worst purchases I have made in years.

Constant hang ups!!.......2007-01-29

What an annoying piece of hardware! The unit will hang up on people in mid conversation. There's no predicting when this will happen. Sometimes I can talk for only a few minutes, other times it's up to an hour. No tech support, no drivers (Skype has updated itself to 3.0 and still no new drivers)and the DPH-50U currently isn't supported under Vista. Think hard before spending your money on this one.

IMPORTANT - Use USRobotics driver instead!.......2007-01-10

D-Link DPH-50U is a great device, but unfortunately the driver that come with this hardware is unreliable and doesn't allow you to use the adapter with non-administrative account(s). Instead download and install the USRobotics driver instead from the USRobotics support website. Trust me, the USRobotics driver accually does work with the D-Link DPH-50U adapter. Ever since I started using it, Skype hasn't crashed once and I'm able to use it on non-administrative account(s). I've also heard that this driver solves many other known problems as well.
