D-Link DNS 6040M

Advantages: Easy to set up and use, Stable, Good support
Disadvantages: A bit out dated

...The D-Link DWL-G650+ is a PCMCIA wireless (WiFi) card, which plugs into an available PCMCIA slot on a laptop. With this card, it wireless-enables a laptop, assuming it doesn't have built-in wireless already. The card cost me about £25 at the time but you may be able to find the same one cheaper now. Most of these seem to be in this price range if not less, since they are becoming redundant with new laptops already having built-in cards. It's a 802.11G card, which means theoretically, it can transfer 54Mbits/s but they never get to that speed. Most residential broadband connections nowadays only range up to 10Mbit/s. INSTALLATION I find the installation of this card has always been very easy. I just install the driver and software off the CD and then plug the card in. This literally takes minutes.

Advantages: Wireless N technology is good for speed and data throughput...
Disadvantages: ...but if the adapter keeps dropping out (like this one does) then it is useless

...my net experience. So...that's alright then. I need not have kept rebooting. All I had to do was pull.... what? You mean that's not a design feature? Ok. In that case it is not up to the job - I want reliability…not a lack of ability. I summarise the D-Link DWA-140 as follows: D-Links Woeful Adaptor Dodgy Wireless Ability Doesn't Work Always Dis Was Awful Don't Want Another Don't Waste Any (money on this adapter) Recommend it? That will be a 'No', then ps I researched the drop out problem on the internet - apparently it is well known so I am not alone in this - you have been warned!!... Read review
