Windows 7 and D-Link Routers and Adapters

May 21, 2010 4:09AM PDT

I have a new dell xps with windows 7, looking to upgrade my present wireless equipment, however, after doing some research, it appears a few people are having problems with d-link equipment and windows 7, specifically I am looking at D-Link DIR-615 router, with D-Link DWA-130 adapter. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I disagree. About the DWA130, dlink only notes "? Computer with:
? Windows Vista***, Windows XP SP2***, or Windows 2000 SP4***"

So why would you expect that to work?
