D-Link Ships Its Smallest, Fastest Wireless USB Adapter

​SYDNEY, Aust. -- November 23, 2009 -- D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for business and consumers, today announced that it is shipping the DWA-131 Wireless N Nano USB Adapter, combining the lightning fast speed and greater range of 802.11n Wi-Fi technology with a tiny form factor and outstanding ease of use.

The new Wireless N Nano USB Adapter provides an easy and cost-effective way to upgrade the wireless network performance of a desktop or notebook computer. The DWA-131 connects to a Wireless N network so users can access high-speed Internet services, transfer files and stream media from anywhere in their home or office.

The DWA-131's Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature enables it to establish an easy, one-time, single-click connection with an access point or wireless router, eliminating complex encryption codes. WPS also offers advanced security features that are simple and easy to configure. D-Link's Quick Setup Wizard provides an easy way to set up the USB adapter and the included Wireless Manager helps to keep track of recently accessed networks.

"With its unique 'Firefly' design and unmatched performance, this ultra-portable USB adapter is an ideal choice for setting up a secure, high-performance wireless connection," said Maurice Famularo, Marketing Director for D-Link Australia and New Zealand.

The D-Link DWA-131 uses 802.11n technology to maximise the speed and range of wireless signals to significantly outperform 802.11g devices*, while maintaining compatibility with existing 802.11b/g wireless routers and access points.

All D-Link Wireless N products use smart Antenna technology to transmit multiple streams of data -- bouncing wireless signals off walls and ceilings to work around obstructions and help eliminate dead spots -- allowing users to receive wireless signals from the farthest corners of their home or office.
