Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of D-Link DWA-652 Xtreme N Wireless Notebook Adapter Draft
Customer Review: Window XP SP 3 works
Summary: 4 Stars
DWA 652 works on Window XP SP3. You need to download the latest driver on the Dlink website instead of using the driver on CD. You have to disable the built in wireless card and uninstall any wireless driver on your laptop. DWA652 works well on my laptop running Window XP SP3 with all latest drivers. I got 100% signal at 300Mb connection! (Remember, read the manual and follow exactly the manual. Otherwise, it won't work!) Don't insert the DWA652 before you install the driver.Customer Review: Does not seem to like Vista
Summary: 1 Stars
Installing it went fine, connected to my network smoothly. Then I noticed one of my two CPU cores was just sitting at 100% utilization. As soon as I disabled the card it would drop down to near 0% again. Website is near useless for this product, one Beta driver (that wouldn't install at all), no knowlege base entries, etc. I suspect d-link is just slow at getting vista enabled drivers out. Sent an e-mail off to D-link, but I'm probably going to send it back.Customer Review: From 54mbps to 300mbps
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a home network and are moving large files around then you need to go to Extreme N specs. This card plugged in, ran the setup disk, checked for new firmware and drivers and then it has functioned flawlessly for over a year. Easily falls back at hotels etc to wireless G but still provides better signal detection.
If you are home gaming or networking with an extreme N router then this card is easy and fast.
Customer Review: No diff then my B-G card
Summary: 2 Stars
I plugged theis N network card in, ran the setup and was easy to do so.
Running a Dual band Airport Extream
I get no faster responce times then from this G band network card. Both my internal G and this N card, durring testing, show only 56k speeds. My internal G card, in side my side testing with another similar laptop, was actuially a bit faster.
I dont see any reason to buy this card.
Customer Review: Xtreme N adapter performs well
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm happy with this product. Make sure you download the updated driver when you install however. The out-of-the-box driver is OLD and buggy. I replaced a Linksys "Business Series" N adapter with this card. On the $100+ Linksys, I would get poor reception (e.g. 36mbps and low signal strength). I get 300mbps and either excellent or very good signal strength with this card in the same home locations. Good purchase.
