Easy to Install and Works great with the Access Point, March 13, 2001
By Alan W. (California)
I bought this card along with some other wireless D-Link products and everything works Great!The Installation was easy because of the quick installation guides provided by D-Link. They came in all the products I purchased from them. And as for connectivity, I can't remember anything that went wrong. This and the USB adapter I bought recognized the Access Point right away and the speed was just fine. I can transfer files from either of my computers just fine where ever I am in my house.

Quick and easy Install and Performs Great!, March 13, 2001
By the tech man (Seattle, WA)
I Installed this card by D-Link in barely anytime at all. It comes with quick install guides which i am sure would be great for people who haven't done this before. That is shows that D-Link knows that everyone is buying this and not just the techie nerds like myself. That's Good.Also the Speed is quite impressive. Works Better than other Cards I have had the ability to try out. I keep the D-Link card in my laptop and I use it as a standard when I try out other products. I can recommend this product knowing it is 802.11b compatable because I have seen it in action personally. Some other companies claim their products do the same but D-Link has proven it to me many times with all of their wireless products. Works Best with the D-Link Access Point (DWL-1000AP)

I'm truly impressed!, January 24, 2001
By mr_sms (Decatur, GA USA)
I admit, I'm an engineer by heart, a web/app developer by trade, and a network hobbist (no MCSE's in my plans). However, I do own a small business. I develop web/app solutions for my customers. So when one of them wanted to install their LAN using wireless, I was a bit skeptical. I was leaning toward CAT-5, but he insisted on wireless because he thouht it would be cool. HE WAS RIGHT! He has a small office with only a few workstations, but plans are for more users with laptops. The range is suprising good and installation was a snap. Using Win2k Server and Win98 Clients. Now that the price has dropped, I'm thinking about re(un)wiring my office!!!

bad range, January 17, 2001
By amir_husain (Austin, TX USA)
I recently bought two dlink cards; the pc card version and the pci version to create a point-point wireless LAN. I was very disappointed with the short range; much below the advertised 50-100m. I had a lot of trouble getting the PCI card to work in my PC. Eventually I had to use a different motherboard since win2000 would freeze right after bootup if the PCI card was installed. Even when I got everything up and running I found that the range inside the house was very bad. I was getting absolutely no connectivity at 100 feet (33m) through walls. The advertised range is upto 100m (330 feet) indoors.I ended up returning both cards. Wasted time and effort... do not recommend a purchase unless all you want is connectivity within a 70 foot area.
