Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of D-Link DWA-652 Xtreme N Wireless Notebook Adapter Draft
Customer Review: Not up to snuf
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased two DLINK DWA 652 network adaptors and two DLINK DAP 1522 wireless access points (to go along with my new DLINK DIR 825 router). The wirless N does operate as reliably or consistently and sometimes not at all. I could not receive N band transmissions and DLINK was not able to fix the problem. In addition, the software causes system hangups.
What made this experience worse is the long hold times to get a DLINK tech. And, they tell you to try something and then call them back (more long holds)
I've given up on these and on DLINK. They are going back to Amazon.

The Trick now days is Security and setting it to WPA2-PSK will eliminate a lot of the headaches out here in the 2.4G+Hz world. I have the Belkin N1 router and when I chose Windows or Network Magic to manage the card , both got the Highest levels and I was located at the opposite end of the house and on the first floor, 75ft from the router in the Basement. I also use CpuIdle and both Cores of my Intel 3.0 Ghz were always at rest and never over loaded by the additional component. *The card was placed inside of a PCMCIA PCI Adapter which I use in my Tower, Nifty little deviceCustomer Review: Locks up or slows down PC

I even bought the DWA-652 for my PC and I have had more issues with this slowing down or freezing my PC. These issues may be do to my XP service pack 3 configuration, but really that is not acceptable. It should not matter if I have service pack 2 or 3. It should just work, and Yes I do have the right to have the most current service pack on my PC, Security is very important I install programs and software on many computer networks so I need the maximum security for my computer. This product is not ready for primetime.Customer Review: Pretty good, not as great as it said, though

The Xtreme N Wireless Cardbus adapter was very easy to install, and I haven't had any problems with it. But it also hasn't performed as well as was stated in the description of the product and others' reviews. Wireless range is not any greater, and the speed is just slightly better. However, I didn't change my router, just the adapter. Maybe you need to do both. Not bad for the price, but somewhat dissapointing. If I'd have know the results, I would've just stuck with my old wireless adapter.
Customer Review: Blazing!

When you use this product with the right router, it is fast ... really fast. I have it working with the D-Link Extreme N Router [DIR-655] and it is pegged at 300 Mbps transfer speed, and it's rock solid. I never loose my connection, and watching streaming video is a pleasure. I first purchased a USB adapter [D-Link DWA-130] and this baby blows it away. I have since purchased another one of these cards for a different laptop. What are you waiting for - get this thing [if your router supports it]!
