Decent and Reliable 802.11b Laptop Card [Posted on 2005-04-05]
If I had to buy another wireless card for my laptop, and I wanted to stay 802.11b, I'd buy this card again. And how many computer devices can you say that about? Not many in my book.
This wireless card was easy to use and installation just took one reboot and some clicking of NEXT. Everything seemed to work on the first try and I haven't had any major issues that a normal reboot didn't fix now and then. But I don't blame that on this card, just windows.
Good range, decent configuration interface, and doesn't take a powerful machine to run it. It works for me and I don't see why it wouldn't for others.
Easy to use and Works Perfect [Posted on 2005-04-12]
When I say that this wireless adapter card works perfectly I mean it. I've never had to reboot because of this being in my laptop, or ever had a problem with my wireless connection because of this card, nor was it hard to get working in the first place.
I can't say how much I value this card because you only know the value after it's gone. And I've never been apart from this card now that it's pretty much a permanent fixture in my laptop.
The range is perfect for me. I never feel that I have to get super close, nor do I feel I can walk real far away from the AP I'm connected to. Overall this card works wonders and I recommend it to anyone who needs a wireless adapter PCMCIA slot card in their laptop.
The Best PC Card In the Business [Posted on 2005-08-30]
I first tried a Netgear MA521. It saved me in France from being completely without internet service, but connections were spotty. Here at home, it worked fair, but only in a couple of rooms. And then kept looking for network address. Then tried a Linksys WUSB11. This is worthless, and I NEVER got connected anywhere in the house. Not once. Then the D-Lind dwl-650. This is great. Works ANYWHERE in the house and never loses the connection. And I don't even have broadband.
Their web suggests good linux support but... [Posted on 2006-02-25]
The chipset in this model changes from revision to revision. When I checked their web I got the impression it had good linux support. Before I purchased I also got the same impression - but that was for some other revision of the card.
So - the two stars is for that. I have no reason to believe that the hardware is not just fine - but I feel like D-link misled me into thinking this card had good linux support.
