Can't connect at 108mbs, max is 54mbps [Posted on 2005-02-04]
The card worked really well except for one little thing. There is no way to enbale super G mode (you need it to connect at 108mbps). Without the most I could connect at was 54mbps. The quick install guide and the manual said it's available, but it wasn't. Tech support was able to reproduce my problem, and tried many, many things. Even though they were very helpful, they coudln't fix it.
My guess is that it's going to take a firmware upgrade to enable Super G. If you can wait for that, then you will be happy. I returned mine, and bout a Linksys WPC54GX.
What a let down! [Posted on 2005-04-09]
I returned the product the day I bought it.
I installed the product on my rock solid win2000 machine.
I did hook into my existing wifi-network, my machine crashed 3 times and over what must have been system resource conflicts.
I couldn't keep the wireless card in the machine and play a MP3 at the same time....
As soon as I popped the Nic out the system was back to normal...
big help from old dlink card [Posted on 2005-10-02]
I currently have this card as an upgrade from a dwl g650 extreame and I get better connection then my previus card on my di 624. I get better connection from distances with doors closed. the only downside so far is that ive seen no firmware patches as of yet. If you have dlink hardware in your network this is a great update .
Didn't last long [Posted on 2006-07-25]
The card lasted about 3 months then just died. I'm disappointed considering the cost. When it was working it seemed to have better range than my builtin centrino web access card. I don't know if I got a lemon but now I have to check the warranty.
It's been rock-solid for me [Posted on 2006-11-16]
I've had this network card for over a year and I've never had any problems with it. I connect to a DLink DI-625 router and everything has been great. I've never had any dropped connections due to the card or software. I usually work about 50 feet from my router in another room. I always had connection problems with my previous Belkin card. The only reason that I don't give it 5 stars is that my max connection speed is 54mbps.
