D-Link is for Dead Link

I recently purchases an Airplus G DWL-G122 wireless USB adapter for my XP Pro machine and boy does that thing loose the connection a lot. It does not matter if the signal strengh is good or low, it just drops it for no good reason. I have a Dell laptop not far from it that has NEVER dropped the signal to the access point (and the D-Link device is closer to the AP!).

Admittedly, it was the cheapest adapter for sale at Fust but I really thought it would be usable. It even had an extra cable to put the receiver closer to the AP and it is now sitting at chest level, around the corner from the AP. So unless my head is putting off a large amount of radio waves (possible) I cannot think of any other interference.

An unhappy customer.
