Summary: Form Over Function
Review: Initially I purchased the D-Link DWL-G120 because it has an exceptionally nice design. Sleek, compact, slick. Afterall, I thought, all these 802.11 wireless adapters are pretty much the same internally, right? Wrong.

I spent over three hours trying to get the DWL-G120 to work on my Dell 4600C system with Windows XP Professional. Despite the fact that the adapter was reporting a wireless signal in the 30-40% strength range, and the 95-100% quality range, I still couldn't get a stable internet connection with it. Pinging Yahoo.com always resulted in 50-100% packet loss.

My other equipment with built-in 802.11g works just fine on my network, so I knew something was wrong with the D-Link product. To test my theory, I purchased the NetGear WG121 for roughly the same price as the D-Link box, and my Dell was on the web in less than 30 minutes. I rest my case. Caveat emptor.

Summary: This was an expensive mistake!!!
Review: My broadband server installed the D-link DWL G120 for me. My pc(windows 98) was working fine before the installation but then after installation of d-link it would completly freeze up and the tech. could not get it to work. He also installed the D-link USB 122 on my laptop (windows xp)which also worked fine before installation, but now it shuts completly down after 3-10 seconds after laptop boots up and then it is difficult to get it booted up again. I took both the pc and the laptop into two different repair shops to see what was wrong and they both said the same thing...I will have to replace both of them. I am more than disappointed with this product. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Summary: wi-fi
Review: My hp notebook has built in wi-fi, which works good, however I wanted a wi-fi device that could obtain a stronger signal and have greater range, the DWL-G120 is weaker than my built in wi-fi in my notebook pc.

Summary: compare before you buy
Review: This device just don't work with DELL PC. I installed the driver for more than once, for some reasons I could not get any signal and when I call the technical support, he didn't seems like he wants to resolve this issue for me, instead he asked me to return this product to Best Buy and get another model. At this time, I don't know I would get another D-Link product or switch to other brand. I will do more research before I buy again.
