DWA-160 didn’t work for me with XP

great range but a bit expensive
See my review for DWA-140. I compared DWA-160 with DWA-160, DWA-552, and WUSB300N. The result is DWA-160 > WUSB300N > DWA-140 > DWA-552.

I brought this (revision A) on the second of June 2009 and installed it onto a 32 bit Vista system. 100% strength (access point is about 15 metres downstairs) until I turned off…
