Summary: Easy install, Great performer
Review: Installation was a snap and performance has been flawless. The signal is strong throughout my house, dropping out to 78 at ~30 yards.

Summary: great at first - deja vu all over again
Review: Unfortunately I had exactly the same experience as a previous owner/reviewer of this product: The card worked great for first few minutes, extremely fast file transfers, etc, etc; but after about an hour lost the connection and the computer froze up completely: the first time I've managed to do this with xp pro. After rebooting the card wouldn't power up in the slot and the computer reported it as a new pci device!!??? After several frustrating hours spent uninstalling and re-installing drivers (the updated drivers from the web site were a disaster), restoring my system to it's original state, and trying the same card and drivers on my win98 partition, I gave up for the night.The next morning I fired up my laptop and the card worked perfectly!! Very fast. Everything was right with the world again. After an hour or so I rebooted, and the *&##$@ card refused to power up. I finally got things running on my win98 partition by removing and reinserting the card a few times, rebooted to Winxp, and everything was still working fine. I then shut down for a few minutes, turned the computer back on, and the card refused to power up. D-link tech support didn't really have a clue, but they did say I should ask for a new card from my retailer, as mine might be defective. When I saw that other review on your site describing my problem exactly, I realized that this isn't an isolated problem that there must be some kind of a heat problem in the cards, maybe as a result of trying to boost the speed of the protocol to 22 mhz. Buyers should beware of this product: some people have had great luck with the card; my experience has been that it's very fast if and when it's working. Make you buy the card where you can return or exchange it easily if it's defective.

Summary: Range is exaggerated, slows connection
Review: Disappointing 0.6 mbps speed, compared to wired speed of 1.2 mbps. Also, signal is weak only 80 ft. from wireless router. D-Link claims speeds up to 22 mbps, and range of over 100 ft! It's better than a 56K modem, but below what I expected.

Summary: It's 'OK'
Review: I purchased teh NetGear MA401 (11mbps) and the D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ Wireless 22 Mbps PC Cards. Both connected to the Linksys 4port wireless router. So far the Netgear was much easier to install and works like a charm. Great speed and better performance than expected in every room of the house. The D-Link Airplus at 22 Mbps took much longer to get working and performs slower than the Netgear and also tends to lose it's connection to the Linksys for unknown reasons. It has never connected at 22 no matter where it is located in proximity to the Linksys. I expected the D-Link to out perform the 'slower' NetGear. I'll buy another Netgear at 11 before I buy another 'faster' D-link underperformer.

Summary: Just completed my fifth network installation
Review: D-Link makes a really nice product. I just completed my fifth soho network install. Each client is very pleased with their network's performance. I've installed the PC Card and PCI card NICs and have been very satisfied with the results. I used a Netgear wireless router and PC Card NIC for my first install. It was a disaster. I was surprised how poorly the products operated. The range was terrible, the software not up to par. I tried D-Link because I am unhappy with the Linksys products I currently use (In my own home network). Terrible support, flimsy products. Try the D-Link products. I've installed them on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP. All operating systems worked well after installs. Overall, a great product. REMEMBER to activate encryption and change important default settings, like the SSID. You would be surprised how many unprotected wireless networks are around, especially in a commercial area.

Summary: Windows likes it, Linux Doesn't
Review: This little beastie uses a TI chipset that isn't supported by Linux, yet. *frwon* It does however work well in Windows, just as promised.

Summary: Unreliable, to say the least
Review: I purchased this card, brand new, to go with the new wireless network on my campus so that I wouldn't have to worry about finding an ethernet jack or carrying an extra cord around between my network at home and the campus-wide network. My first day with this card, I installed it EXACTLY as directed, set it up with the SSID and the encryption, and waited. No signal. I played around some more and tried again. No signal. I tried again and again, calling the network administration and the manufacturer. Neither knew what was happening, though the manufacturer conceeded that there were some known (and not-advertised) problems with the card with various notebook computer brands, mine included. After two days of trying to get the thing to work, I finally succeeded to get it to link to the university network, but the link was unstable. Now, I realize that these are not perfect and are prone to problems with interference, but when I'm sitting TEN FEET AWAY from the WAP Drop Point, there is no reason for it to be flickering on and off like a bloody turn signal. The card is fine, I'm told. It just isn't compatible with Windows XP, it would seem, despite the company's advertisement to the contrary. I would also like to point out that this card was tested in two other machines, neither of which could get the card to work as well as I could. XP users, beware - there are problems to be found in this card, and it is not for the average user. If you own a Toshiba or Dell laptop, don't even bother as it won't work with your comp, and the manufacturer admits this. I give it two stars simply because at least the bugger powered up and gave me JUST BARELY enough signal to download a 50 MB file off of the Wireless Network before it faded out again. Total usage time: 10 hours. Total functional usage time: 2 hours.

Summary: Great Card
Review: This is a simply a great card. Setup was a breeze- just follow the 2 steps in the quick start guide: install the software first, and THEN insert the card. That was all there was to it- WinXP (Pro, SP1) did the rest. The card has been working great ever since, no issues with it at all; speeds have been fantastic, ~500 KB/sec. My first experience with D-Link has been a great one. You just can't beat the value of this card, I got mine for 50 dollars after rebate.

Summary: Great at first
Review: Right out of the box, this product worked great. Minimal time for setup required and easy instructions included. Flawless operation for 24 hours. Soon thereafter, the card lost its ability to power up in the slot and never functioned appropriately after that point. ....

Summary: Works well and has been stable
Review: I run this under XP Pro and have found it to be very stable and reliable. I work in a large factory/warehouse envirement and never get disconnected no matter where in the buildings I am. I have never had the card cause the computer to crash, lock up or loose connectivity. Some other people in the office have had problems with the card disconnecting in locations around the building, they are all running windows 2000 though. Maybe it just works better in XP. I have had problems with the 520+ PCI cards though, failure to connect on reboot and some other issues the Cisco cards are much better, but then they cost more.
