General Overview:

The DWL-650+ is an enhanced 802.11b PCMCIA card for your laptop to go wireless. I also have the DWL-900AP+ rev_c access point and the combination is amazing.I think d-link has it all. Anyways, considering this DWL650+ , it is compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. When you’re connected to other D-Link AirPlus products, the maximum wireless signal rate of up to 22Mbps can be achieved. The DWL-650+ also features 256-bit WEP encryption providing you a higher level of security for your data and communications.

System Requirements:

Your Laptop must have at least 32 MB of memory and a 300MHz processor. Your Laptop must also have a 32-bit PCMCIA slot.

Operating Systems:

Windows 98
Windows ME
Windows 2000
Windows XP

Key Features:
It includes AirPlus technology that with any other D-Link product of WiFi technology, the speed can reach 22mbit per sec.

Note: When i got this product, i used to use the wired connection which is 100mbit per sec speed, so when i used this product the speed of copying files between computers is very slow considering wired connections, but u can enjoy the wirless freedom.

Problems:
  • As i mentioned before, if u r using wired connections, then the speed of copying data will be very low considering. However this is the cost of wireless freedom.
  • Sometimes when copying large chunk of data, the network goes down for no reason, and you have to remove and insert your card to retore the connection.
  • The software included is not that great, so i use the windows management software for wirless connections that is included in the SP2 of windows XP

Good review, sounds useful but a little flawed
