Monday, December 26th, 2005 | Networking (LAN), Reviews
The D-Link DWL-G510 AirPlus G Wireless PCI Adapter allows you to host a wireless network using a card that fits into a conventional PCI slot.
The advantage of getting a PCI card wireless networking card is that the whole deal can be hidden behind the computer case instead of having a large receiver out somewhere. However those same good features can be bad too.
With range being a big factor in wireless networking situations you might have to do some moving of your case to get a good signal.
Opinions of users are varied, but that varies most with time. As with many products that are rushed to market they tend to have issues. There were problems with the firmware that came with the intial D-Link DWL-G510 Airplus G wireless cards.
Those do however seem to have been fixed for the most part and so you will find it a much easier to use card than before.
The card works fine with Windows XP standard networking drivers, or at least that was the experience of some users. If it doesn’t work straight away you might have to install some of the drivers that come with it.
Documentation is reported as being minimal, so not much help if you have any problems with it.
Overall the D-Link DWL-G510 AirPlus G Wireless PCI adapter is a reliable card that works fine in most conditions. For the bargain price it is offered at, it makes a great deal for those looking to get started with wireless networking without dishing out too much cash.
