Wifi key with cd start-up facility
I am very surprised by the speed of the product, but unfortunately I saw that there was to put a CD then install and then use the wifi key. And I am extremely disappointed to have paid 15 euros (delivery included, moreover that hurt very much) and especially my pc has no dvd / cd drive. I can't install the whole process ...
PS: Thank you for informing me that it was for laptops on the product ^^

Difficulties in Win11
Compact and not very bulky, this key can be installed without any problem, but it is necessary to get the latest drivers.
However, Win11 accepts it randomly. I end up firing it and working with a good old Netgear USB Wifi key which doesn't cause any problems.Review automatically translated -

Does not work
The wifi key worked for 10 minutes.... laborious installation, screen frozen on the installation by drivers directly in the device manager. I've been using it for a while now, but it's not working.
I'm disappointed 10 euro wasted on a product developed on the old bones, I invite you to read the forums to see the problems reported on this key what I should have doneReview automatically translated -

Runs on Ubuntu 20.04
Version DWA-131(E1), installed on a small secondary / HTPC config running Ubuntu 20.04. Receiver plugged in during OS installation and works fine. Can be a bit temperamental on first connection and may need some extra handling depending on version. Some info that may be useful:

Difficult installation
I have just installed this product on Windows 7. I installed it with the CD and then installed the key on a USB port. I entered the key 500,000 times on my box and it was never recognized even when I pressed the WPS button on my box. Finally I uninstalled the application on my microphone, removed the USB key and reconnected it. The driver installed itself automatically, I clicked on the icon, entered my security key and everything works correctly with a good flow. Conclusion, under Windows 7 NEVER INSTALL SOFTWARE ON CD ROM. Have a nice day

Works very well, but...
You need a CD drive in your PC to install the drivers, plugging in the key is not enough, and the drivers were not available on the net.
So I put the CD in another PC (with a drive) to extract the content on a USB key and then install it on my computer.
Since then, everything works fine!Review automatically translated -

does not fit the description at all
Maximum flow rate is 80 and not 300 !!! So at least you have to admit that the product does not correspond to its description

Windows 10 yes, linux no
I first installed this product under window 10 and by respecting the installation procedure, everything went well. It was much more complicated under Linux. Indeed, there are 3 revisions of this key (A, B and E1) and the one I received being the E1, I only found the ad-hoc driver on the D-Link.....Australian website!
In addition to this anomaly, I was forced to "blacklist" the kernel modules probably intended for the previous revisions. I therefore warn inexperienced linux users about buying this product.Review automatically translated -

OK under Win7, not under XP
Bought to install on an old PC running XP, the key is well recognised, but impossible to connect to WPA2 Wifi.
It does work correctly under Windows 7, however.
An older key of this model works correctly on my old PC under XP in WPA2.
So be careful with an XP installation, the latest revisions seem to cause problems!Review automatically translated -

Impeccable, even under VISTA
And yes! It still exists ... Quick installation, works perfectly and finally allows to have a WIFI connection on an old "dinosaur" that can only run under VISTA. I buy it ! (Oh no, it's true, no need, it's already done ...)

Can do better
After installing the livebox4 I could not connect the WiFi of my old Toshiba Satellite laptop (7 years old WinXP).
Bought this dongle. Very simple installation.
Average speed test :
on degrouptest:
down 30Mb/s up 0.3Mb/s/s Latency 80ms
It seems that the wifi link is "choppy".
On beta.speedtest I have :
23 Mb/s 10Mb/s 68ms
in the same conditions I have the following values with a Dell Inspiron desktop connected to the same box:
48Mb/s 11Mb/s 52ms
I've been using it for a while now and it's not too much of a hassle.
As usual, the delivery was impeccable within 48 hours.

D-LINK DWA-131
Extremely fast delivery. I replaced a Netgear key
which was disconnecting several times a day, with this D Link key. Since the installation no disconnection. Day and night! So I am very satisfied.Review automatically translated -

Impec
A bit of a pain to install under Debian, but that's my fault, I should have checked before. Otherwise no problem!
The key is small and discreet and can be forgotten. I use it 24/24 for a small server. For the moment I have had no problemsReview automatically translated -

Fast and convenient
Received very quickly as always with LDLC!
The key is small which is convenient when you leave it h24 on the laptop!
It works straight away and works great!
It's really handy for a laptop that has a problem with the wifi card or that doesn't have one.

Good but beware
Great, but fortunately I'm a bit of a handful:
With win 10, I had to put the driver for win7 and not the one for win8 for it to work.
With Ubuntu15.04, I have to do this for it to work: https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1958921
In short, the hardware is good but the software should be easily compatible with the latest operating systemsReview automatically translated -

Works perfectly
Works on a PC running Windows 7 64 bits located on a different floor from the box: no problem.
Easy to install, I recommend it for anyone looking for a simple usb port connection.

Very good article that works well.
I've been using it for a while now and it's a great little key that allows me to go online or connect my printer remotely without any problems.
The recognition was done without problems from the beginning.
I am very pleased to recommend this quality product.
