Don't know which one Amazon has but the one I got is Rev A. Followed onscreen instruction as installation guide said. Initially it could not find the SSID even when told (mine is hidden). I also downloaded the latest drivers from the D-Link website. Finally, I went to the Connection Manager and clicked on "MY WIRELESS NETWORKS", then clicked on New, then put in the Profile Name, SSID, etc. It came right up. It's still not visible in the Connection Manager list. However, it is visible in the upper part of the Connection Manager GUI. I am running Windows 7 RTM (32 bit). The NIC is running at 270 Mbps (bits not bytes) with no perceptible dropouts. So only two stars for having an annoying installation but definitely a worthwhile investment. I absolutely LOVE the weighted extension cord/mount.

When I use it at home with my N gigabit connection works great. At work there is only a G connection and my internal card works just as well if not better sometimes. Thats my only complaint, everything else works great. I bought the refurb, so it was a great price.

The performance said by the ad is completely a lie. My old 802.11g is faster than it . Also the signal strength is horribly low. Only recommending this product to people who have PC with version of WIFI before 802.11g.

I've had this for a few weeks now, and have had no trouble at all with it. I recommend using dlink's proprietary connection manager, although I haven't tried it without. Connects every time, quick, no problems. Nice item.

This worked like a DREAM for a few months- skype so clear it was like watching a movie. Downloading large files in seconds! And then it stopped working one day. Now it's a paper weight.
