Purpose and audience

The D-Link DWA-137 is a USB wireless adapter that adds Wi-Fi connectivity to a desktop or laptop lacking a built-in radio. It suits home or small-office users who need a simple way to join an existing wireless network for web browsing, media streaming or casual online play.

Build and connectivity

The adapter plugs directly into a USB port and uses a fixed 5 dBi gain antenna to capture signals from greater distances than a basic internal antenna would allow. Its compact stick format means it stays out of the way on a crowded desk and requires no separate power supply or driver disc on supported Windows versions.

Thermals noise and power

The device draws all its power from the USB bus so it adds negligible load to the system and runs without a fan. In normal operation it remains silent and barely warm to the touch even during sustained downloads or video playback.
