Dissapointment in some cases...

Advantages: Fast install; Included extension cable
Disadvantages: Problems with Windows 2000; Bulky dongle

...I brought this with the D-Link DI-524 router and had no problems pairing them up. I'm currently using it about 30ft from the base station with one solid wall in the way and usually have very good signal running at the best possible rate of 54Mbps. I do use the extension cable and have found this to be a great advantage. It increased signal from good to very good and occasionally excellent. This helps get it away from the back of the computer and ...
...interference! D-link did have some trouble with the dongle as is wasn't put in all the packages, i had this problem but if you call customer services they will send you one and should receive within 6 weeks. The dongle itself is quite long at about 2.5 inches by 1 inch wide. So can be an obstacle if using a laptop, or need your desktop to fit into a tight area. I have found the rate to vary and has its peak times and occasionally drops for no apparent ...

Review of D-Link RangeBooster N USB Adapter DWA-140

Almost more effort than it was worth

Advantages: works well in the end. Choice of config utility to use
Disadvantages: XP sp3 compatability issues, Lazy D-link not updating drivers

...Sadly XP decided that the D-Link drivers were infact more up to date and therefore refused to let me use the Ralink drivers. The Solution ------------------ Well I have a feeling that this shouldn't work and will lead to issues in the future however so far the card has now been stable for over 4 days. In order to fool windows into using the Ralink driver I created a folder containing NetRt61G.INF from the 1.1.1.0 D-link driver folder and rt61.sys ...
...for this rests firmly with D-link who in late 2008 were still offering 2006 drivers as the latest on their website. To add insult to injury the chipset manufacturer had made available updated drivers so really I can't see why D-link was not offering these. My Ratings --------------- I feel that I can only give this card 3 stars as it does work well but I feel like it should have worked like this out of the box. I also personally cannot reccomend ...

Review of D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510

WhyFi?

Advantages: Fast, Solid Performer
Disadvantages: Chunky

...this is relevent because this D-Link adapter is surprisingly one of the few 3rd party wifi adapters which work with both Windows XP and Mac OS X. Aesthetically its a grey block, about 1cm deep and 5cm long, so quite a chunky little package, which has led to it hitting things when moved and led to the adapter becoming bent, although surprisingly resiliant to break and is still fully functional. It has 2 LEDs, one displaying whether the adapter is ...
...indicate whether the adapter is active. It connects via USB and works on both 2.0 and 1.0 standards, therefore should work on all USB enabled computers. It is packaged with the correct software and is really easy to install. It operates at the fastest current general WiFi standard, Wireless-G. ...

Review of D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL G132

MY FIRST AP WAP54G

Advantages: Two signal antenas
Disadvantages: No complete user manual

For first use of this AP make me confuse there no complete user manual inside the bundle, so i check it myself from the internet and call the store how to install it. First time it's so difficult to use, i connect it with other PC in my house for networking and internet connection sharing. First thought that the two signal antena is very usefull it can spread the signal up and above floor with limitation weak signal of double thick wall. using ...
...range of the signal from inside my house to the outside and the result is about 50 m to connect with, the cisco feature that help connect other cisco device is very handy too. At general computer store it's cost about $40 - $50 I think it's good wireless AP with standard price budget ...
