Editorial Review:
The D-Link DWL-120 is an IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN USB adapter. The DWL-120 will operate in 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) for wireless networks in the home or office environment. In addition, the DWL-120 uses a 40-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption for a secure network connection. The D-Link DWL-120 can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (Peer-to-Peer networking without access point) or Infrastructure mode (Peer-to-Peer networking using an access point). In Infrastructure mode, the DWL-120 can be connected to a wireless broadband residential gateway for high-speed wireless Internet access on the existing local network. The DWL-120 data range is 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps per channel. The DWL-120 transmit rate values can be manually selected for Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, Fixed 1 Mbps, Fixed 11 Mbps, Fixed 2 Mbps, Fixed 5.5 Mbps and Fully Auto. The DWL-120 has full mobility and seamless roaming from cell to cell as well as across access points.
The D-Link DWL-120 wireless LAN USB card is a high-performance wireless USB network adapter. At 11 Mbps, the DWL-120 is the fastest wireless network adapter on the market today. The USB interface makes the DWL-120 easy to install and use, and the wireless adapter enables you to share hard disk drives, DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives, Zip drives, and printers. The adapter also provides shared access to an analog, cable, or DSL modem for Internet access.
Designed for desktop PCs and laptops with a USB port, the D-Link DWL-120 can be used point to point (ad hoc) or in conjunction with an access point (infrastructure mode) to extend the reach of its communications capability. Strict adherence to the latest IEEE 802.11b networking standard for wireless connections and USB standards makes the DWL-120 compatible with any compliant hardware. The network adapter is fully mobile and seamlessly roams from access point to access point. The range of coverage per cell is 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors.
The DWL-120 operates in 2.4 GHz direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) for wireless networks in the home or office. It also uses a 40-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption for a secure network connection. It includes an internal nondetachable diversity patch antenna and one built-in green LED indicator for power, network link, and activity. The DWL-120 is compatible with Windows 98 and Me; Windows 2000 compatibility is expected by late 2001.
D-Link provides a lifetime warranty on parts and labor for the DWL-120.

Rating: - good for the price
Had some problems in the beginning but after a little tinkering all was well. Every so often I have to reboot it and my router to make it work. But for the price I guess it will do.
Rating:  - TIVO Broadband Contection (D-Link DWL-120)
Got a Ser-2 Tivo, the one they give you "free"... the reason I've been putting it off is that years ago we cut our "land-lines" and are cable Internet and cell. This Tivo will work over a broadband. The catch being the Tivo box will only work with the Tivo wireless USB connector (for $60.), and a very few others. After a very long search, I found this one on Amazon that said "it may" work on Tivo. Does it ever!! Very Very happy as it works fine at a third of the cost... please note: we have a ... Read More
Rating:  - drops connection with 614+ router using xp
shows excellent signal strength but then for no reason looses connection for a few seconds then connects back up, does this constantly, tried changing channel to 6 and that helped a bit, I am going to try to flash the bios in the 614AP. Any help on this one?
Rating:  - Doesn't connect to D-Link AP800+ repeater
DWL 120 connects to weak signal of D-Link router DWL 614+ and not to strong signal of D-Link 800+ repeater. A laptop right next to the DWL-120 with a PCMI card installed does connect to the strong signal of the repeater. An upgrade to firmware 2.5 results in complete failure of the DWL 120.
Rating: - A solid adapter
I used this in conjunction with a D-Link PCMCIA wifi card to share a cable internet connection between two Windows-2000 based systems via built-in Internet Connection Sharing in an ad-hoc network. The adapters themselves performed reasonably well, the connection would occasionally drop out but a restart of either the client or the host computer would always restore the connection, possibly there was a better solution but I didn't really try anything since that worked. Possibly not for beginners, ... Read More
