Debian Linux's (Etch) best wireless freind, June 19, 2008
By CU, CS student (Boulder, Colorado)
This card was a snap to get working with my Debian Linux (Etch) laptop. It uses the madwifi linux driver and other utilities, most of which are on the Debian install disks. Don't bother with the ndiswrapper even if your wireless is built in, get this card instead and save yourself the headache..

Works great with Hardy Heron, June 7, 2008
By P. Fox (Chicago, IL USA)
I did a little research before I bought this item, but at the time there was little documentation on hardware support for Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04). According to the documentation I looked at I would need to do some configuration, but the card would eventually work under Ubuntu 7.10. The laptop I'm using it in has no built in NIC and I don't have a compatible one, so I was planning on getting a wired NIC too in order to install any packages I would need to use the card. When it arrived, I plugged it in, just for kicks, and it worked without any configuration! I never bothered to buy a wired card.

By Bill M (NJ, USA)
Drivers on web site for ubuntu linux. I used ndiswrapperto install. Works well. One con is that each time I restart I must manually go into network manager to connect.

Learning Curve, June 1, 2008
By G. King (Eastern Shore)
Initially, understanding how to switch between Windows XP and D-Plus AirPlus configration utilites was a bit confusing. After I got though that, all went well until I decided I did not want to broadcast my router. That's when the fun began. When I would turn off my broadcast, I was not able to connect. After weeks of trying various things, I believe there were combination of factors contributing to my lack of reliable connection which included a cordless phone, neighbors on the same channel and the beacon inerval on the router. Now, most of the time I just plug in my card and I am connected depending on the utility I using. I guess I must like it. I just bought another one.

D-Link is relatively fast but not compatible with Dell Laptops, May 12, 2008
By G. Funchess (Fort Worth)
I bought this product to get 2 Dell laptops on my network. These products
would not work properly with my Dell 3800 or Dell 5000. When plugged into
the laptop, the keys on the right side of the keyboard quit working. I tried three more different cards before I found some that worked properly.
The problem evidently was the laptops and not the D-Link DWO-G650 cards.

Good card, April 14, 2008
By Howard A. Kunst (Kansas City)
Card delivered as promised, and on time. Unfortunately, not the sellers fault, but the notebook it was to be used in does not use this type of card, but the smaller express card slot. This items was returned and I did receive a refund.

Inexpensive and works in XP and Ubuntu 7.10, March 16, 2008
By D. Piasecki
I installed this on an old notebook that I have set up to dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux 7.10. Ubuntu 7.10 recognized it right away and set it up automatically. I used the included software to set it up in XP.
I'm using it with WPA encryption, but also tested with WEP and it worked fine with either.

Zero hassle, great performance, March 12, 2008
By AndyC (USA)
Received the card today and had it up and running in less than 10 minutes with zero hassle. Just followed the clear instructions to install the drivers from the CD-ROM, shut down the NB, plugged in the card and re-booted. It found my home network immediately, entered the password - done !
Getting great throughput via my Apple router - within the usual limitation of the truly terrible AT&T DSL connection.
Great product, great price , zero hassle !

Great product, Great price, February 27, 2008
By Connie L. Winters (Central MA, USA)
I installed this last night on my Dell Laptop and had absolutely no problems with the CD-rom or the adapter. I am using this with a Linsky's Wireless G router, not a D-Link, and it works perfectly. I get reception from anywhere in my house, upstairs or down. Reception is Excellent on the same floor(2nd) as the router, Good or Very Good on the first floor. I've only used it for a day so I cannot review how reliable this is over the long-haul, but so far I'm very pleased with my purchase.

D-LINK G650, February 27, 2008
By Sleepless in San Antonio
The D-Link wireless G adapter has been a great addition to my home network. I installed it on an old Dell Latitude CPiA laptop I recently replaced as too outdated. The addition of $[...] of memory from E-Bay and upgrade to XP and this old machine is hanging ten as it surfs the web. I get better wireless connectivity around the house with it than I'm receiving from my new Wi-Fi capable Toshiba. Happy? Yes! Good product, Great price, Fast delivery and Terrific functionality. Oh, and my eight year old grandson is happy to have wireless connectivity in his room.

Good product for less, February 25, 2008
By Awais A. Sheikh (Philadelphia, PA)
I got this for an older laptop for a visiting guest. It works just fine, doing what it supposed to do for less.

Compatible with everything!, February 12, 2008
By hellotolisa (Toronto, Canada)
I love that this is compatible with most operating systems (I tried on Vista and Ubuntu, my laptop's integrated card didn't work on either). Signal strength is not that great but enough for average use.

Inexpensive but Works!!!, February 8, 2008
By Mac Bear (Birmingham, AL USA)
I got a couple of old PC laptops just for goofing around with and needed a cheap way to hook into wireless networks. These card work GREAT!
They allow me to surf, email and even play World of Warcraft with no troubles at all.
I am completely satisfied with my purchase!
