Review on D-Link DWA-160: High-Speed Dual Band N600 USB Wi-Fi Network Adapter by Jordan Epps

Can't see my 802.1N 5GHz network

This thing can't see my 802.1N 5GHz network. Even my Smart TV sees this network, as do a few iPhones, a few iPads, and a desktop workstation. (Although a year-old smart TV couldn't see the network either). The D-Link support rep threw up his hands and said that there was nothing he could do as all the procedures that were given to her were aimed at fixing the issue where the device was not working at all while this device was working fine because I saw and joined other networks. It just couldn't see my own 5GHz 802.1N network. She told me that if I change my router's channel to channel 11, maybe the device can see my network, and then she disconnects the phone. return option. Guess which option I chose?

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Secret
