Review: Bought two of these. One for XP, one for a WIN98 box. Simply awful product. Stay away at all costs. This is the first and last D-Link product I'll ever use.As an Electrical Engineer, RF systems specialist, and qualified AIS consultant, I was confident about using this product, and expected it to work well. WRONG. Simply look around the internet a bit, you'll find TONS of people having problems with these things. I spent 2 hours on the phone with D-Link technical support. Waste of time. The technician hadn't a clue how to assist. After spending a lot of time, and getting frankly awful performance from these cards, I gave up and put them on the shelf. Save your money, find a better product. These things just aren't ready for prime time.

Summary: Plugged In, Worked Without a Hitch
Review: Downloaded the XP driver first. Inserted the card. It worked, and works great. Can't relate to all the bad reviews. It was so simple, and hasn't failed or locked-up even once. Using a Compaq 2715US, PIII 1.13 Ghz, WinXP Home. I'm really pleased to have the internet available all over the house.

Summary: [Inexpensive]
Review: As one of the lower-priced wireless PCMCIA cards, the DWL650 is definitely worth considering in a 'budget' 802.11b network. However, WinXP users will need to carefully select the correct driver from dlink's ftp site (the link mentioned in a previous review is *still* not corrected as I write this) in order to avoid several hours of unecessary frustration. Once up and running, the DWL650 works like most other 802.11b wireless products on the market today (variable range and consistency given different installation environments).

Summary: Decent in w2k, but not for XP
Review: I got this card working fairly quickly on a Windows 2000 laptop. But on my XP Pro laptop, it kept giving me blue screens at boot up. In W2K, the range was fair....but nothing to right home about. A decent card to use if only using Windows 2000 or another previous version of Windows.

Summary: Poor product and support
Review: I bought DI-713P and two DWL650s because I had a good experience with DI-704P (hardwire). It seems that D-Link does not have a good know-how or technology in RF as many electronic, specially computer realted companies. The most frustrating part was, althogh the box says it works with Windows2000 which I have on our four computers, they simply did not work. I downloaded the new software and driver which were no use. I sent and received more than 10 messages....DLink's tech support is very frustrating as they sent the same pre-scribed messages again and again without answering my questions. They do not publish a tech support phone number and only e-mail is available. After so many e-mail exchanges, I finally got a toll free number to speak with a technician who was very nice; yet after going through everything, he had to give up. DWL could not recognize signal from DI-713P. It was not an IP or configuration problem. I believe it was RF problem. It is also possible that DWL might have a conflict with Dell Latitude C800 and C810. I should have read those customer reviews before I bought them. I recommend D-link for hard wired routers but definitely avoid wireless products. I also received a three page long instruction on how to make changes for XP. It is obvious that this company has no intention to get behind their own products.

Summary: Finding right drivers for XP a pain
Review: I had similar problems with "blue screen of death" crashes, and failure of the card to work unless I uninstalled and re-installed XP drivers from D-Link web site with every reboot. I found out that "XP drivers" linked to from D-Link web page (DWL-650_0307) are not correct drivers. Go to the ftp page (ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/DWL650/Driver/) and download dwl650_driver_f51. If you use this as only XP driver it seems to work although occasionally still a little quirky.

Summary: Crashed Windows XP, intermittent problems in W2K
Review: Even the latest drivers from the web site dlink.com crashed Windows XP at a client site with a blue screen error, so I ended up leaving the client my Orinoco Gold PC card, which worked right away. On my laptop, the performance is on and off, at one point I was only able to access certain sites but not others, until I uninstalled a bunch of my software, then it continued to work fine. I will never by this card again. Why bother? For almost the same price you can get an Orinoco card. I would go for that instead!

Summary: Doesn't work in Sony Viao
Review: Brought this for my Sony Viao. Doesn't work even with latest driver download from dlink website. But works flawlessly on my other laptop; IBM Thinkpad 600. Email support from dlink website is useless and slow..., 2 days response time per question.

Summary: Not compatible with IBM Thinkpad T-Series
Review: This thing stunk. It installed ok, but never connected with the AP. I gave it to a friend to try out and it worked fine on his. My T21 Thinkpad would not power it up correctly, so I am now using an Orinoco Gold - great card, great features.

Summary: Weak Wireless PC Card
Review: I bought a D-LINK DI-713P Wireless Router to use with the DWL-650 and I was very disappointed with the 650. Signal degradation was immediate (30%) after only 30 feet. This was with Encryption TURNED OFF! I tried using another brand wireless card and was able to go all over my house (over 2000 sq ft) without any dropped signals. DLink makes a great wireless router DI-713P. Too bad I can't say the same about the DWL-650.
