"Crash Disaster"
on by Mike98Pros The DWA-556 has worked one day very good. Receive and send signals were 100% OK.
Cons Compatibility problems after one day with Windows driver. Often my computer crashed, booted very slow and my RAID 1 hard disc drives status was verivying instead of normal.
Summary Microsoft system restore could not solves this problems and I had to clear my hard disc drives and install all programs again.
Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center shows that the DWA-556 is Compatible according the manufacturer, but not Logo Compatible according the tests of Microsoft and I had to follow this list! -
"Slow on Wireless G connection"
onPros Installed easily. works with windows 7.
Cons Gave me a bluescreen first time I installed it. antenna don't get very good signal. I had to pull my computer out from under my desk to get even a little signal.
Summary I don't recommend wasting your money on this, but buy at your own risk, you may like it. I am no longer using this card, I'm looking for a new one.

"Three of these died on me. o.O"
on by lee_cPros Awesome signal especially with the ANT24-0230 antenna --> used for online gaming 90% of the time. Very low ping.
Cons After 8-10 months it gets hot and fails.
Summary I like the performance from this product but i cant afford the time and money to keep replacing these every 8-10 months. My first 2 were the DWA-552, I thought maybe this one was going to be different but i to failed.

""Decent for the money!""
on by icbones1978Pros It gave me a decent change in signal and an excellent speed upgrade from my wireless g card.
Cons The d-link software sucks, use windows to install the drivers
Summary I liked this product very much. I didn't like the d-link software that comes with it on the disk, it won't install the driver correctly and messes up the computer.

"Not worth the extra $$$"
on by CBaxter13Pros Easy to install
Cons Don't see any improvement with signal
Summary I swap my old card out for this one and I don't see any noticable improvement in signal coverage. Not worth the extra money in my opinion.
