What Customers Say About D-Link DWA-556 Xtreme N PCI Express Desktop Adapter:

The only thing I regret was not realizing that this was not dual band, only 2.4.

My Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installation detected this card without me needing to install any drivers. Paired with a D-Link DIR-825 router, the network and sharing center reports my connection speed usually at 300Mbps, occasionally 130Mbps. I have an external antenna attached and am about 20 feet through one floor and some ductwork away from the router.

I got this to connect a Windows 7 desktop to a DIR-655 (after upgrading, the old D-Link wireless card didn't have a driver). I installed the driver only, and I downloaded it from D-Link's website (I didn't use the one on the CD). The installation went fine, and Windows was able to connect right away. The computer is about 40 feet from the DIR-655 in an office (thin walls, one floor), and the connection is great, and I get reasonable speed.

You would think being this close it would be excellent. I installed this on a new machine with an I7-860 Intel Processor. It may be because of all the USB ports and wires in the same location. The machine is only 3 feet away from the G router. I only get a 'good' signal. My laptop across the desk attaches as 'excellent'. I have a wired connection anyway.

I had always thought a 56K modem should get 56K transfers but they never did. Who exactly is supposed to be keeping these guys honest, anyway. It seems wireless N now gets 54K when setup with optimum equipment. It's not noticable under most conditions, to be honest, but in case you were wondering about the wild claims from the industry, this is a real world result. At least the 802.11N broadcast signal makes it throughout our house, unlike the 802.11G. But you're still better off wiring your house for speed.
