Hi Bob:
Well, you win some and then you lose some....<g> I have had bad luck with
D-Link including a wireless kit
I purchased about two months ago. After several frustrating hours of
trying to set it up and when I finally got
everything to work, the signal was of such poor quality as to be unusable.
Took it back for a refund.
The MS kit worked out of the box. No fuss, no muss, no cuss. I'm not a
gamer BTW, just sharing an internet connection
between a desktop and notebook in different parts of my home. Glad things
have worked well for you. Have fun.
Regards.
