i used D-Link for quite a while too on my desktop. Then when we upgraded our router, I went to a Netgear USB wireless device (cause my stepmother is a !@#$%^&*ing moron and didn't want to open the comp... !@#$%^&*) NEVER GET A USB DEVICE UNLESS YOU ARE ANYTHING LESS THAN A MORON WITH COMPUTERS! god that thing was a pain in the !@#$%^&*... took like 5 minutes to find the !@#$%^&* router every time i booted up... always go for a card... USB devices are a pain in the !@#$%^&*, especially with their stupid programs that eat up CPU and mem. other than that, the Netgear was a good card device....
