Digital camera reviews of D-Link DWL-G650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter, 802.11g, 108Mbps

Digital camera Review: <b You get what you pay for! /b>
Summary: 2 Stars

Plays well with other wireless networks, both 802.11b/g

Beware with the different Hardware Versions. I have the lastest which is B2. (makes me question why they make revisions?)

I since made some changes thaT allows it to work beyond the 15-20ft. Here it goes:
TX rate: Auto (must be set on router and card)
Channel: 1 or 11 DO NOT USE Channels:3,6,9 if you have a 2.4 phone (channel must be same on router and card)
WEP: DISABLED, (Both on Router and Card) (affects range)
MAC FILTERING: Allow Known MAC to access the network (option on router)

Settings on Card: > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Dlink DWL-650 > properties > Advanced Tab

Driver Version 2.36 (from Dlink Website)

Preamble: Long (must be same on router)
Antenna Switch: 1 (only if you have 1 antenna, otherwise choose 2)
Antenna Tx: Both
Map registers: 256 (default)
Network Address: not present (default)
Power Save Mode: MAX (This is my personal pereference)
Radio ON/OFF: ON
Transmit Power: 100%

With these settings I gained an extra 30-45 feet. Also I am using DLINK DI-642 wireless router. READ MY REVIEW ON DLINK
DI-624

I was real close to returning this item but after the "tweeking" I am reconsidering.

Hope this helps.
