D-Link DWA-171 (AC600) Dual-Band WiFi 5 Mini USB Wireless Adapter

Does the job without any fuss. Mac users will have to download the driver from D-Link: hard if you don't have Internet... Does the job without any fuss. Mac users will have to download the driver from D-Link: hard if you don't have Internet...

Good WiFi 5 adapter, however the ANOD security filter supplied with D-Link driver software needs removing before it will allow connection online with Windows 11. I have contacted D-Link in Australia about this issue but it was unresolved. Infact, all they could suggest was downgrading to Windows 10.

Easy to set up, works just like it should. Easy to set up, works just like it should.

My PC had no WiFi and I needed to use it far away from the router, this product replaced the 15 metre ethernet cable I had been using previously. I use it for video calls, simple games, streaming, downloads, and Web browsing and haven't bothered plugging back into ethernet as there's no difference in terms of speed. PB tech made it easy to use Laybuy I store, too. My PC had no WiFi and I needed to use it far away from the router, this product replaced the 15 metre ethernet cable I had been using previously.

The D-Link WiFi adaptor does its job well. Didn't work in the first USB port, but has been fine when plugged into the second port. The D-Link WiFi adaptor does its job well. Didn't work in the first USB port, but has been fine when plugged into the second port.

Required a few off\on (disable\enable) during the week to keep on working.
Never had it with my old one for years. Required a few off\on (disable\enable) during the week to keep on working.

Purchased during Covid 19 Lockdown to use a desktop PC lacking a wifi adapter on the kitchen table.

Works like a charm and resulted in the fastest wifi speeds I've seen in our home. Tested on an HP G3 laptop and it consistently gives faster Wifi than the built in wifi adapter.

Works well but due to own fault I possibly shouldve got the faster adapter but that is not to say this one doesnt work well because it does! Great purchase for price!

I've had it 3 weeks and no glitches so far. I was very surprised it would even work on my machine that's 10+ years old! I've had it 3 weeks and no glitches so far. I was very surprised it would even work on my machine that's 10+ years old!
