Summary: poor documentation, poor quality
Review: I happen to have a Toshiba and Dell laptop. I could not get the card works with them. Neither can the tech supports. I am frustrated to have to spend more than 2 full nights just working on installing. The documentation is poor, difficult to understand, might not even accurate and does not even provide NT quick installation guide.

Summary: It is a OK product
Review: this product does not have XP driver. u have to download the driver for Win XP from D-link site. the only problem i am having is that after sometime the netwrok does not work while it shows that it is connected to the network. i have to restart or replug in the card to get the network access at my clinic. card configuration utility is also not there. anyhow i am enjoying the WLAN at my clinic. D-link support is great!

Summary: I believe my opinion is useful for you
Review: I read all of the reviews here before I made the purchase. I believe I can handle this card finally. Here is my final points after 4 hour's experiment on it:1. This card works great in any MS operating system except XP.
2. For XP, it also work great, but needs a little trick.
... The control utility coming along with this card never works under XP under any circumstances, so do not bother test again.
It works great in any other system except XP. ...

Summary: Not Suitable for the Road Warrior
Review: If all you want to do is use your laptop on the front porch, or in an unwired office at work, this adapter may be fine. But if you were lured into wireless by the promise of high speed internet access in airports, hotels, coffee shops and such, it is virtually worthless. To connect to a network, the DWL-650 must be specifically configured to have the same SSID (identifying name) as the network. That is fine if you only connect to one network and you know its SSID. It is a nuisance if you want to connect to several networks and have to reconfigure each time. It is fatal, however, if you want to connect to a strange network and do not know the SSID. Networks that are intended to be open to the public use "broadcast SSID" to send the network ID over the airwaves. Adapters that can receive broadcast SSID can then automatically configure themselves to log on. The DWL-650 cannot do that, and there are plenty of other comparably priced adapters that can.

Summary: Not ready for XP
Review: It appears that this product is not yet compatible with Windows XP. After trying for three days and talking with technical support, no luck. Tech support must not have even read my question to them. I reported my results based on an answer in their FAQ, and all they did was send me a copy of the FAQ that I was questioning! The configuration utility won't work with XP and their was no way to set a couple important configuration parameters. I purchased a Linksys wireless adapter and had it up and connected to my D-link DI-714 in 10 minutes.

Summary: Works within 20 feet of access point.
Review: I got the access point from D-Link and figured a D-Link PC Card would be good for compatibility. I intalled on XP Pro with latest drivers from Dlink site. I can wander about 25 feet from the access point before I start losing signal. When I'm in my office, forget it. The signal pretty much disappears. I'm only about 50 or 60 feet from the access point and there are about three or four walls plus a refridgerator and a washer/dryer in between but still. Not recommended for anything that requires working thur anything but wide open spaces.

Summary: Not ready for prime time
Review: When you buy a product that says it supports "XP", you'd at least think the manufacturer would have tried it once. I installed this product on Dell Latitude, running W2k. Crashed and rebooted endlessly. Tried it on a Gateway 2000 running XP Home (First time I'd seen the new Blue Screen of Death). Tried it on an IBM ThinkPad, XP Pro. Same thing. Downloaded the new drivers from the website. No change. Either be prepared to return it, or find some spare space in your junk drawer. I have no way of knowing if these things have any wireless capability.

Summary: Easy install - seems to loose the connection from time to ti
Review: I'm using my D-Link DWL-650 with D-Links DWL-1000AP. The combination seems to work just fine. Installing the PC-CARD was easy. Don't follow the manual if you're on NT - just install the driver, reboot and plug the card in. It works great from there. Only minus (why I only give it 4 stars) is that it seems to suddently drop the communication, even when there is full signal. Which high-bandwidth requirements, I have to rescan for the Access Point about every 5th minut - as the Tx and Rx goes to zero. Which normal use (surfing, network stuff etc) I haven't seen this problem yet.
