I bought this from another site(cost the same mine was free shipping). I mainly use it for wifi on an old desktop. But sometimes I hook it into my (5+ yr old)laptop to piggyback on the neighbors wifi. Works better than the built-in card which doesn't even pickup their signal. Great for older desktops without built in wifi.

Does anyone know if there is a Mac driver for this one? We have a mac mini that would love to be on our network.

I would think twice about buying refurbished stuff from gearxs. I've bought a refurbished Apple Keyboard from them and the corner was dented, I sent it back and the replacement was also dented. Buy at your own risk!

Got one of these new, it work fine with static WEP encryption, but have problems with those network that require you to login with username and password (ie university networks)...

@lucydog: Uhh, it is incredibly dependent on which DWA-130 you get. There's multiple revisions (viewable at http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-130_rev_A1 and so on) and it looks like it's had just about every chipset manufacturer's parts in it at one time or another.

I don't know why hardware companies do this -- the truth is, there's only a few reference designs and everyone slaps their own brand on them anyway; they could at least have the courtesy to use a different model number for each design. Oh well.

For a Mac, you'll probably want something with a Broadcom or Atheros chipset, but the best bet is to find something that specifically mentions support for Macs that isn't Ralink (because Ralink's software and drivers were terrible last I used them).

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
