About This Product
The D-Link DWA-131 is a USB 2.0 Wi-Fi adapter offering 802.11n connectivity. It is suitable for basic internet browsing and email on older systems or as a temporary solution. Performance for demanding tasks like streaming HD video or online gaming will be limited due to its older Wi-Fi standard and USB 2.0 interface, which offers lower throughput compared to modern Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 adapters.
Pros

- Simple plug-and-play installation
- Affordable price point
- Compatible with older systems
Cons
- Limited to Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) speeds
- USB 2.0 interface bottleneck
- Not suitable for high-bandwidth applications
