DWA-125 and Windows 7 x64
« on: January 28, 2010, 04:02:25 PM »

I'm using Windows 7 x64, and I've gone through at least 6 wireless adapters in almost 2 weeks, I haven't found anything compatible yet (being misled by the Windows 7 compatibility center). Can anyone confirm, without a doubt, that the DWA-125 works 100% with windows 7 as costumer support led me to believe.

Also, D-link wireless adapters work with non d-link routers correct? I'm using a 2wire router (i have little networking experience)

thanks in advance,

Chris

If you're using any kind of firewall except windows built in - try disabling firewall on the protocol level or completely uninstalling it.

Works fine for me W7 64bit through a Bell 2701wireless modem/router ie 2wire.
Trick is to disable mac filtering in the modem, add the mac address of the D-link, then save and enable mac address filtering.

I have the same setup but using AVG Antivirus and it connnects, then drops, then reconnects, then drops.  This is just like the D-Link poor performance I had with a router that finally made me switch to LinkSys/Cisco.  I don't know WHY I let anyone talk me into buying anything D-Link any more.  I will be taking this back to Frys for a refund.
