Re: My DWA-160 RevB works great with DIR-825, DIR-665, DIR-655 with Win 7 and XP

My DWA-160 RevB works great with my DIR-825, DIR-665, DIR-655 with Win 7 and XP on both bands.

The secret, which only works with RevB of DWA-160, is to:

1) Uninstall Dlink DWA-160 drivers and software.

2) Download the latest USB Ralink drivers and installation application from www.ralinktech.com/support.php . It supports Windows 2000, XP 32/64, Vista 32/64, Win7 32/64.  At this writing date is 12/31/2010.
 
3) Run downloaded .exe file.  Select to "Install drivers and Ralink WLAN utility".  After installation run WLAN Utility and read the help.  I found little about this utility intuitive but it works great.
