Easy to install and rock solid
operating system:LinuxBought this card to replace an ageing Belkin 802.11b card that needed ndiswrapper to run and constantly lost the connection, despite the signal strength being 80%. This D-Link card, by contrast, took twenty seconds to install and is yet to drop the connection. Just go to http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm and download the driver titled RT61 (this is the chipset it uses). The readme file can be found in the Modules directory. I can't recommend this card highly enough - cards that install quickly and work well on linux are a rarity!
Easy Install, Fast And Stable Connection!
operating system:Windows XPI first tried a Netgear WG311 v3 thinking it would work fine with my Netgear DG834G Router - BIG MISTAKE! it never worked properly, had awful drivers and was quickly RMA'ed.
So I looked for an alternative - and found this D-Link AirPlus DWL-G510:
+ It installed quickly and easily
+ Worked first time with no hassle
+ Always steady at 54Mbps
+ Included drivers work fine (using Win XP SP2)
+ Rock stable and no dropped connections!!
It does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does it well! 5 Stars!!
Excellent Card for Linux
operating system:LinuxThe version of this card that shipped from EBuyer in September was the revision C2 with the Ralink chipset. Ralink support is very good - their site has links to the following useful reference - http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
I am using UBUNTU 6.10 - Instructions for installing the RT61 Linux drivers are to be found at -
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61
After following the above instructions and the Ralink "README" that is included with the drivers and after a re-boot, the card worked first time with WEP enabled, SSID not broadcast and MAC address restriction on the router (Netgear WGR-614).
This is an excellent card providing good native driver support for Linux.
Excellent card, no problems
operating system:Windows XPThe Aerial was shorter than I thought it would be which at first made me wonder how well it would work. I am in the next room to my router but it's on the far side of that room and through a rather thick wall I am getting signal strength very good to excellent and wireless speeds generally 36-54mbps.
It picks up networks that the wireless in my Dell laptop just can't see.
I installed the drivers and let windows do the work and all is good!
