Fri, 22 Jul 2005 11:49:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jedgell233 - D-Link makes great routers but after borrowing the DWL-520+ wireless adapter I have vowed not to buy any more than routers from them. Windows XP will detect the card but the drivers will run your system to the ground. Even the latest drivers never...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wood1001001 - This card is horrible. I'm an experienced computer professional and it took me hours to get this thing to work. I've installed it 4 times now after OS reinstalls and everytime I nearly go mad trying to get it up and going. Everytime I install it, it's...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jethrohoyt - Anyone who has suffered through my reviews will know, I love technical detail, spend too much time building and installing computers, networks and garden sheds and am usually forthright when I don’t like something. Such is the case with the D-Link...

Mon, 5 Jan 2004 01:16:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arcadesdude - I got two of these cards for the price of one other brand desktop pci wireless card and they work great in my systems. Both are Windows 98.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author malibusky - I originally purchased the first card, I couldn't get it to work, they did replace it but it still doesn't work. I was told that they couldn't help me any longer because it is trying to connect to a linksys product, a router and wireless range...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dbowcott - Worked great in 98 but upgraded to XP and it blue screened the system. After 4 weeks with tech support they sent me a new one with a newer bios and it still does the same thing. If I turn on the computer without the DL-614+ router turned on it will blue...

Tue, 16 Dec 2003 17:39:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author j_cricket - I could not get this to work with my Linksys WAP11 access point. It connected ok if WEP was not used, but it simply would not negotiate WEP with the access point. Part of it may have to do with the ASCII to HEX translation scheme (it pads blanks in an...

Thu, 13 Nov 2003 19:18:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author galp - Even for a cheap price don't bother, it is not worth it! The first one I bought cannot connect. I returned it and got another one, it took a lot of tinkering before I could get it to connect. The range is not great. The technical support is horrendo...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author watchthis - This wireless card works great in Win98se, but I had problems installing it in XP. There are extra instructions on the support page of the Dlink web site.

D-Link Air DWL 520 (DWL-520) Network Adapter: DWL-PCI 520+ defective?

Tue, 27 Aug 2002 13:34:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author marcalans - Based on my experience with this card, all I can presume is that it was brought to market before being thoroughly tested with all compatible operating systems. The card failed in several computers, including bare bones machines where there was little...

D-Link Air DWL 520 (DWL-520) Network Adapter: Not for corporate users!

Sat, 1 Jun 2002 01:40:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author creamerj - Although this 802.11b (WiFi) card looks good and the price was too good to believe, this is NOT the card for the average corporate user or more sophisticated home user either.

The manuals and all documentation indicate this product can be used...

First I tried both cards in a PC-Chips mobo and neither was recognized, even though that mobo claims to support the PCI level of the...
