Digital camera reviews of D-Link DWA-652 Xtreme N Wireless Notebook Adapter Draft
Digital camera Review: Same as other adapters
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this with my D-Link DIR-655 router. With this, I can connect to my router at over 100Meg at 20-25 feet with 2 walls in between. You need to install the drivers on each computer that you may use it on which is somewhat of a pain. As with other adapters, it sticks out more than I would like but I am willing to deal with it if it improves my connectivity speeds. Overall a great product.Digital camera Review: Works Great - 300 Mbps WiFi Connections.
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this in conjunction with my DSL service and couldn't be more satisfied. For home use, I have a 24" iMac which I have connected to an Apple AirPort Extreme base station via built-in ethernet (i.e - hard wired). For work, I have a Toshiba laptop, TWO STORIES UP, and connect via WiFi to the AirPort base station. The laptop is running Windows XP SP2. I use a D-Link DWA-652 notebook adapter and CONSISTENTLY connect at 300.0 Mbps! Both the AirPort base station and the D-Link adapter are built on the 802.11n draft, and work great together. ONE BIG BUT (so to speak)...the 802.11n draft does NOT support WEP encryption. You can still connect with WEP enabled, but it will be at 802.11g-like speeds (i.e. - 56Mbps). Not using WEP has its obvious disadvantages, but the WiFi connection speed of 300.0 Mbps is outstanding.Digital camera Review: Does not seem to like Vista
Summary: 1 Stars
Installing it went fine, connected to my network smoothly. Then I noticed one of my two CPU cores was just sitting at 100% utilization. As soon as I disabled the card it would drop down to near 0% again. Website is near useless for this product, one Beta driver (that wouldn't install at all), no knowlege base entries, etc. I suspect d-link is just slow at getting vista enabled drivers out. Sent an e-mail off to D-link, but I'm probably going to send it back.Digital camera Review: Great Card
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, the other reviews of this product weren't that helpfull for me previous to my purchase of this product so i thought i'd throw in my two cents. I'm using this card to replace my old Linksys card which wasn't giving a whole lot of range or power and replacing my old liksys router. I'm now using the DIR-655 in conjunction with this card and i'm getting exceptional range! 300mbps at the fence of my property about 150 linear feet away through multiple walls. The card itself is able to detect networks from a lot farther range than my previous card. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Hope this helps others out. Good Luck. Digital camera Review: problematic
