Will It Work On Vista
Will It Work On Vista
Does anybody know because this is the only product i like from here but have vista home premium
works on windows 7
operating system:Not Applicableyes this card works ok with the new operating system from microsoft although i had no hope of getting any wireless usb dongle to work
How to make this work with Vista 32
This card works well.
However,there is an issue with Vista, despite the fact that the box tells you it is Vista certified, so let me save you a lot of pain and tell you what you need to do to get it working..
I found that drivers etc all installed okay, but everytime I tried to connect to a wireless network my PC locked up.
I returned the first card to Ebuyer, but the replacement did exactly the same. I downloaded the latest drivers and older drivers from D-Link but these didn't fix the problem.
Eventually, just as I was about to give up and ask for a refund, I connected the PC to the network via it's wired NIC and told it to do a windows update. Windows found a wireless driver from September 2009, that is NOT available via the D-Link website (at the time of writing this at least). I installed it, and now I'm all smiles. It works.
Save yourself a lot of heartache and throw the CD that comes with the NIC away!
D-Link Adaptors
operating system:Windows XPI only bought D-Link to have Wireless Draft-N plus gigbit ethernet in the same box. Normally I would buy Netgear but their Draft-Ns at the time (year ago or so) were suffering "green ring of death" & other failures.
I can only mirror the disappointment of other reviews & comments here in using this with my D-Link DIR-655.
However, the DWA-142s USB "black pie on a cable" adaptors now completely replaced by USB pen adaptor DWA-140 (quickfind code: 130241), of which I have two, seem to work much better and I experienced a genuine improvement on XP with the new v1.40b01 driver.
Also, the DWA-142s always score a higher signal level than my DWA-547 at all times in any position directly compared in my small house.
I think I will seek out another DWA-142 or use a DWA-140 on an extension cable.
