Title: DWA-642 is horrible
Review: I purchased the D-Link DIR-615 router and "matching" DWA-642 adapter thinking I would get better range and signal compared to my Linksys wireless G router and boy was I wrong. First, the 642 adapter has a driver that constanly causes GPF errors when the adapter is not in my laptop, you know, the one where it wants to collect information and send to Microsoft. I got on with tech support and they had me download the latest driver which fixed the GPF error but did little to improve the ability to connect to the router establishing a "link". The 642 has been EOL'd as of last fall and replaced by a 652 which I am hoping to get from D-Link's support once my purchase is beyond 30 days old where they will warranty it. So far, this adapter/router combination has proven to have less range than my Linksys G. Unless the 652 can resolve this problem, this purchase was a complete waste of time. My laptop is Windows XP SP 3.
