Beware - major software bug causes blue screen crash [Posted on 2004-03-29]
D-Link has a major problem with it's products (including the 520+) crashing systems on power down with a blue screen and a message stating that there has been an NMI parity error in hardware. You system will be locked up. Pulling the power cord is the only way out. What is REALLY bad is that I have 3 "Case I.D's" requesting a fix. If... if you own certain Compaq models you may... may be able to fix the problem with manual modifications to your system BIOS. However, unless you "get lucky", you are stuck. There is, apparently, no real customer support at D-Link, only an automated response system that patronizes you with the issuance of a case I.D. Be very, very careful about purchasing D-Link products. Buggy software and NO technical support nor issue resolution.
Not FOR W2K [Posted on 2004-06-25]
P1$$P00r Compatibility issues found across the www. Don't be Too late to get informed. D-Link support even less helpful than a diaper against a dam break. System lock-up maybe resolved by diabling this or that or removing other PCI devices.
Works ok w/ driver 3.0.23.4, not with 4.15.5.1 (ver 3.07) [Posted on 2004-06-29]
Like everyone says, Customer Service is terrible. They deny that a problem exists, blame everything else. I had problems with their 810+ Wireless Bridge not working with WEP also, same awful experience with cust service then as well.
It works! [Posted on 2004-11-02]
I have had no trouble with it or 810+ bridge that other people had claimed. I read the installation instruction and set up was a breeze (you need to install the software 1st prior to install the unit). It worked flawlessly in my Win 2k and later Win XP (both home and pro.).
Signal strength is good, reliablity is great, and data transfer speed is good.
Overall, good product.
Wireless Card works great! [Posted on 2008-03-18]
Bought this to go with my other D Link AirPlus products. I could not be more happy with this product! No problems at all! Better than expected performance!
