Germany | In Europe D-Link has the DWA-140 on the market.
It has a Ralink 11N chipset and works very fast with DIR-655 and DIR-635.
Don't know whether you can order it in the USA. | |

Pearl City, HI | Ok seems the DWA-142 is in USA market... so I going to assume that's better than the other one... | |

Germany | Re: [Help Me] Best Wireless N USB adapter for DIR-655? I own 2 DWA-142 and they work very well with DIR-655 but they are connected with a cable and not as handy as a USB-stick. | |

| Re: [Help Me] Best Wireless N USB adapter for DIR-655? The latest ralink works best. It's more stable than the versions before.
If you want the d-Link Tool, the latest 1.30eu driver on the Swedish d-link ftp is the same version:

@wm.net | 140 is very fast indeed, why do you assume the 142 is better?  just because its the US version (which you can buy in EU too btw...)? | |

Pearl City, HI | Sorry I meant to compare the DWA-142 and DWA-130 which were the products available here in USA market... 
I'm curious why D-Link doesnt have a XTREME N wireless USB adapter? | |

| Re: [Help Me] Best Wireless N USB adapter for DIR-655? If I would try to compare DWA-130 and 142 without having seen the 130, I would prefer the DWA-142 as it is a MIMO adapter and has an excellent range and speed.
DWA-130 may have the same speed but not the range of the DWA-142. With both Windows (Vista/XP)I get Speeds up to 9 MByte/s in a distance of 10m (30ft ?  ) and one wall.
9 MByte/s with DIR-655 ! With DIR-635 it is about 6,5 MByte/s. | |
