The D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ Wireless Cardbus Adapter is an enhanced
802.11b high-performance, wireless adapter that supports high-speed
wireless networking at home, at work or in public places.
Unlike most 802.11b network cards, the DWL-650+ provides speeds of up to
22 Mbps (compared to the standard 11 Mbps) when used with other D-Link
AirPlus products such as the DWL-520+ Wireless PCI Adapter.
The DWL-650+ is also compatible with existing 802.11b devices such as the
D-Link Air family of products including the DWL-520 Wireless PCI Adapter,
the DI-714 Wireless Router/Access Point and the DWL-120 Wireless USB
Adapter.
It is an ideal way to connect one laptop computer to a Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN.) After completing the steps outlined in the Quick
Installation Guide (included in the package) you will have the ability to
share information and resources, such as files and printers, and take full
advantage of a “connected” environment for work or play!
The DWL-650+ includes software drivers for the most popular Microsoft
Windows operating systems (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me,
Windows 98) and can be integrated into a larger network, running, in either
Ad Hoc mode (without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (with an
Access Point.) Please take a look at our Getting Started section in this
manual to see examples of typical network setups using the DWL-650+ in
both Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc modes.
This manual provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its
application as it relates to networking. Take a moment to read through this
