Summary: Wireless Range is not as declared
Review: Everything works fine with this product except that the wireless range is much shorter than specified. Connection drops often in a distance just two rooms away on the same floor or from upper stairs to down stairs.

Summary: don't work with my siemens wireless router
Review: Easy to install, but disconnect often with my siemens router. Maybe the reason is that they are not compatible.Don't suggest to buy it if you are using siemens router.

Summary: Extremely quick and easy to set up
Review: I had low expectations for this very low-priced wireless network card, but could not pass up the price and bougt it anyway. I was amazed that within 10 minutes of opening the box, I had connected to my current wireless access point (WAP) with perfect reception. I now have two WAPs and two wireless-enabled notebooks, al working perfectly. I only regret that I paid over $...for my first wireless network card. I am running Windows2000 Professional, and my WAPs are made by Linksys and Netgear.

Summary: Awful Range
Review: This is a good card for someone who's going to use it in an apartment near your Wireless Access Point. Otherwise, if you plan on using it in a public area like a Starbucks, a university or an airport go elsewhere. This card has A LOT less range than a 3 year old Linksys card I'm using on the same laptop. Don't use the CD when installing on XP, but run windows update while the card is in the slot... there is a XP certified driver there, although I haven't noticed any improvement in range. Overall, it's better suited as a doorstop rather than a Wireless card and the tech support is really awful as well.

Summary: Does what it is supposed to...
Review: I did not give it a 5 because if "An electronics fan from Skaneateles, NY USA"'s comment is true, then this card is not too portable. The card works really well with my Speedstream router and I could get the connection to work on main floor and in the basement. The router is hidden behind my desk door sitting on top of the computer, yet I have no problem getting 100% channel quality and strength. It is nice to get wireless connection. It is easy to set up too.

Summary: Absolutely the worst tech support I have ever encountered
Review: D-Link employs teenagers who can barely speak coherent English and who don't listen to the customer, even when you repeat the same simple and clear statement to them two or three times. Multiple calls produced a more inarticulate "tech" each time, most with what the average person would consider a profound lack of basic diction and communication skills.
They insist on following their flowchart regardless of whether it has any relevance to your stated problem. They often express technical concepts improperly or in a sloppy manner and don't appear to have a working knowledge of their own product line.
The first-level "techs" quickly run out of ideas to help with what should be elementary setup questions, promising to have a second-tier tech call you back. The call never comes. The printed manuals that come with the equipment are pure fiction and as such are useless, referring to nonexistent pages for essential information. If you are a professional networking wizard and have no need of tech support then by all means consider D-link if you enjoy endlessly playing around with equipment yourself on a test system and have no need for reliability or functionality.
If, however, you are a consumer with ordinary questions and ordinary equipment, stay away from D-link as the nonexistent "tech" support will quickly sour you to the company and make you passionately regret your purchase.
Do not buy D-Link equipment for a co-worker or family member unless you wish to inflict profound pain, anguish and heartache upon them and turn them into an enemy for life.

Summary: Great wireless card
Review: I have the newest revision of the DWL-650 (L1). Installation and set up was a breeze (Laptop under W98SE). It connects wirelessly with DI-713P with great signal strength. I understand there are presumably "better" or "higher-tech" sophisticated and pricier wireless PC cards, but for your typical wireless home use, it more than meets the challenge and delivers (32 bit cardbus and up to 128 bit encryption). Definitely recommend.

Summary: CHEAP is RIGHT!
Review: This card lacks the ability to sense SSID signals. You have to tell it the network is there. Also, while it is Plug-and-Play friendly with Win XP, the Dlink utility that comes on the CD-ROM doesn't work with XP Home (crashes when installing), so there is no way to control the level of WEP. I can only get this card to work with my Linksys WAP _WITHOUT_ WEP.

Summary: I have a better suggestion.
Review: While D-Link makes very affordable products, they are poor in quality, and the tech support is horrible. I work where we sell these things, and they are trash. If you want a good wireless card, I strongly recommend the 3-com office connect X-Jack card, (B00006HX60). The 3com has a retractable antenna so you don't have to remove the card every time you pack your notebook. Trust me, it's worth the extra money. The 3com has a stronger connection and better drivers.

Summary: It works on WinXP!
Review: I did not use it for too long, but it works! Don't even touch the CD you have in the box! For Windows XP just plug it in and follow instructions. When you want to connect to the network -- click on the icon in the right corner, and choose the network you need!
