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-LinkDWA-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!! ...
Advantages: Works at long range, easy to install, powerful Disadvantages: Bit more expensive than some
furthest away from the spare bedroom where the router was. THe thing comes with a cradle thingy so you can angel it to get a better reception, which is pretty useful, especially given it's for a PC desktop - you can hardly move the whole desk!
In terms of function, it honestly didn't seem to slow up the performance of the desktop noticeably. We use it with a 802.11g router.
For those who like stats, it has:
* Draft 802.11n wireless LAN specification, backward compatible with 802.11b/g devices
* 2.4GHz frequency band
* Fast USB 2.0 connection to notebook/desktop computer
* Up to 300Mbps raw data transfer rate
* Strong WPA/WPA2 data encryption security
* Supports Windows VISTA/2000/XP Operating Systems
* Two integrated internal antennae
* D-Link Wireless Manager for easy access to frequently ...
Advantages: Fast, good range, powerful, not too expensive for what you get Disadvantages: none so far
with as well: I can download a half-hour TV programme from 4OD in about a minute, and my teenage son can play on-line games on his laptop without it jerking. It copes well with Skype calls too, and the web cam - it's not jerky either.
You don't buy a wireless router for its beauty, but this is a perfectly decent, if slightly space age looking, bit of kit that doesn't offend the eye. It was a bit of a faff to install and get working (it took half an hour and a couple of swear words), but I'm a bit thick about these things sometimes.
It supports both WEP and WPA encryption, uses two firewalls and is something called draft 802.11n compliant. This is obviously really seriously a lot faster than 802.11g, but I don't understand it so I'll stop now before you sus me out. It's a Good Thing though.
I'm really pleased with it and it has ...
