D-Link or not D-Link ?

I bought a D-Link DSL-904 (DSL-G604T + DWL-G122)
but now my dongle does not work anymore. At the beginning it
disconnected every hour after that every 5 mins ... now the 2 lights
are always OFF !
I wanna buy a new dongle which works with DSL-G604T .
Do I need a D-link new dongle or can i buy elsewhere ?
Which are the best and less expensive dongle ?
can be a big problem I have a USB1 hardware ?
Thanks
Gio

Contact DLINK and they will change it. I wouldn't buy DLINK again after a
lot of trouble with those routers. My USB device has never worked with XP
Pro.

Same config here, in fact it's a DSL-G664T (Annex B) and a DWL-G122 Vers B1
overhere.
I would never buy anything from D-Link again. Support is OK, but hardware,
drivers etc. is junk.
The 664T mostly works well, but the G122 is a problem-device. Chipset is
RA2500, and has hardwareconflicts with many computers.

Rest assured, you can use a dongle of any reasonable brand, 802.11g of
course. Wether the USB1 matters a lot, I don't really know (I have USB2.0).
Could be causing the problem.

With best regards, EDJO.

I have two DWL G122's working fine with USB1.
Regards,
Martin

Any question like "[Brand X] or not [Brand X]" is sure to generate many
negative replies against, well, "[Brand X]".

With the consumer stuff: DLink, Linksys, Netgear, Belkin, Hawkins, etc --
its all "junk", but its "junk that works". (Most of the time.)

I have DLink and Linksys (because I'm cheap), with praises and gripes for
both.

Support? LOL. Forget it. Best to not even expect any, then you aren't
disappointed.

Anyway...

Are you 100 percent dead set on having to use USB? Networking anything
through USB is really more of a "kludge" than anything else. A PCI card
(desktop) or PCMCIA/Cardbus (laptop) is much better, or if you don't have
the internal room to spare, an external wireless/ethernet adapter to connect
with a standard ethernic NIC. Nice thing with ethernet/wireless adapters
is you don't have to screw around with drivers. Everything is
self-contained. I got a couple that a use to hot swap around with between
game consoles, stand-alone network printers, and even an old Sparc
Sunstation that I fiddle around with. 100% PnP.

I have three D-Links routers, two DI 624's and one DI-524. I also have a
Linksys WRG 54g and an Actiontec 701. They all work through a DSL internet
and perform router services on my LAN(s). I have a dwl-650 wireless card.

In my environment, D-Link is the best, Actiontec 2nd and Linksys last (-way-
last). If all you want to do is hook up a simple home system, I don't think
it really matters what you buy, netgear, dlink, linksys, what ever, but if
you want to use a fire wall and map ports to perform specific server
functions (VPN, Web Server, Email, PCAnywhere, specfic games, etc, etc) from
the internet to more than one computer in in the LAN for the money the
D-Link, even the cheap DI-524 has the others I own beat hands down. The
linksys routers seems "stripped down" and inflexible, I suspect because
Cisco doesn't want them competing with thier much more expensive and
profitible Cisco routers.

Any way, if you have your dlinks working, keep them, they are as good or
better than anything else out there in the same price range.
