I recently purchased a Dlink DWA-162 usb wireless dual band adapter. The box and instructions said Windows 8 compatible. I could not successfully install the device on a Win 8 desktop or Win8.1 laptop. The instructions specifically say ignore new device found window and use only the Dlink setup. This did not work. I kept getting driver install failures Code 28 and Code 31. I then called support, they had me plug in device then update drivers from the install CD -> driver -> Win8-64 bit folder. This did work on Win 8 system but not Win 8.1 laptop. I am returning the product and getting something that works correctly out of box.
