Product Description

D-LINK DWL-G520 - Wireless technology pioneer D-LINK leads the way again with its AirPlus XtremeG series of high speed devices with transfer rates up to 54Mbps. The DWL-G520 is an advanced wireless PCI adapter featuring WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and 802.1x for wireless user authentication. Together these technologies provide unprecedented wireless networking security. 3 year warranty

From the Manufacturer

D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces another performance breakthrough in wireless connectivity--the D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G series of high-speed devices capable of transfer rates up to 54Mbps.

The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G520 PCI Adapter is a wireless PCI adapter featuring the very latest in advanced wireless silicon chip technology to deliver incredibly fast data transfer in the 2.4 GHz frequency. The DWL-G520 also works with 802.11b standard wireless devices and when used with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G products delivers throughput speeds capable of handling heavy data payloads, including real-time MPEG video streaming.

The D-Link AirPlus DWL-G520 also includes a configuration utility to discover available wireless networks and create and save detailed connectivity profiles for those networks most often accessed.

In addition to being the industry’s fastest wireless network solution, it includes management settings and policy-based content filtering for advanced network management. Filters can be set based on MAC address, IP address, URL and/or Domain Name.
The D-Link Xtreme G DWL-G520 with 108 upgrade is ideal for creating a fast and affordable wireless network, delivering the industry’s fastest wireless network performance. D-Link Xtreme G is also the only 802.11g solution with 108Mbps mode that remains fully interoperable and compatible with all 2.4GHz devices, capable of creating one homogenous network environment for the multi-vendor environment.

Packet Bursting: The packet bursting technique puts more data into a single transmission, allowing more raw data to be stuffed into each packet and as a result not only delivers much more data, but also executes this process with less traffic on the network. Packet bursting transforms lengthy binary code into simple equations, resulting in an overall reduction in the number of 1s and 0s being sent over the network. It is also the technique defined as one of the methods for performance improvement in the IEEE 802.11e QOS draft standard.

Fast Frames: The fast frames technique enhances data throughput by increasing the number of bits sent per data frame and accelerating the timing of a data frame with a dynamic transmit optimizations. This technology enhances the Packet Bursting capability synergistically to provide accelerated performance results. The fast frames technique is also based on the 802.11e QOS draft standard.

Hardware Compression and Encryption: Xtreme G uses the Atheros AR5002 chipset which employs special engines to compress and encrypt data. These hardware engines operate in real-time to enhance throughput by implementing standard algorithms and compressing data prior to transmission and after reception.
Multi-Channel Bonding: Multi-Channel Bonding embraces two radio channels simultaneously. It collapses the available channels from 12 to 6 for increased bandwidth on the available channels. Single and double channels are not run at the same time. This technology senses single channel and dual channel frames and negotiates time-based solutions with priority on single channel processing.
Select Mode: Select Mode gives users the option of locking the Xtreme G products into a Static mode (instead of the default Dynamic mode) for even higher performance within a complete D-Link 108Mbps Xtreme G environment.

The DWL-G520 is a powerful 32-bit PCI adapter that installs quickly and easily into desktop PCs and when used with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G products automatically connects to the network. Like all D-Link wireless adapters, the DWL-G520 can be used in ad-hoc mode to connect directly with other 2.4 GHz wireless computers for peer-to-peer file sharing or in infrastructure mode to connect with a wireless access point or router for access to the Internet in your office or home network.

Solved A Problem.......2007-06-15

I needed to work on computers in my basement. This card allows me to plug it into the computer I'm working on and access the internet through my wireless router. It works great and solves my problem. My router is about 60 feet from my work bench in the basement and I get good transfers.

Are you running Vista?.......2007-04-22

I'll bet you aren't if you are using this card.

The reason I gave this ** rather than * is that it works great on XP and ME. But try using it with Vista running on a Core 2 Duo system, and the system freezes on bootup. My workaround is to disable the card, start up the system, then re-enable it. Then, it works fine. But one has to remember to disable it every time they intend to shutdown or restart their system. The D-Link website says there is a beta Vista driver, but I downloaded it and there was no change.

And speaking of D-Link support, three years ago, when I purchased my first D-Link product, it was great. Now, they have apparently oursourced to Asia somewhere, and it absolutely sucks. The support rep had me trying to fix the problem by troubleshooting it as a generic network problem--which it obviously isn't. It is a Vista/D-Link driver problem. He (or she) simply wouldn't accept the fact that there was no problem on my network.

What was my final solution? I drove two miles to my local Best Buy store and purchased a Belkin/USB wireless card for $17.95 plus tax. It works fine on my new Vista system.

So much better than the Netgear one.......2007-04-12

Okay, so everyone has their own experience with this stuff. Maybe it's because we have the D-link wireless router that the Netgear card was a horror: constantly having to repair the network connection, having to reboot, dealing with weak signals, etc.

So I replaced my Netgear card with this D-link one and the problems completely disappeared. What else can I say - other than say I have:

- Windows XP (patched to the latest)
- a circa 2006 Dell XPS 400 with 2 gig of memory and a Pentium D CPU, running at 3.00GHz

Wi fi.......2007-03-11

This is a good card. Good range and I have never lost my signal.

Works Great.......2007-03-04

Works great, connection is good through a wall. One thing is I am not sure why i need to repair my conncetion sometimes but once it's repaired it works great.

Amazon.com Product Description

Philips' 55-inch 55PP9352 is tailor-made for producing progressive-scan DVD playback and high-definition broadcast programming with clarity and vivid color. The widescreen aspect-ratio (16:9) set delivers 1080i high-definition signals at full resolution when connected to an optional digital set-top box. Now you'll be able to revel in every drop of water, each soaring aerial shot in your favorite programming, whether off-air HDTV broadcasts or DVDs played through top-of-the-line progressive-scan DVD players.

Technologies like 35-point digital convergence, Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC, which automatically shifts your television picture in very small increments to defray image burn-in), and Active Control (which continuously analyzes the picture to control digital noise reduction and sharpness) enhance the picture in subtle but meaningful ways.

Other features include:

Multipoint digital convergence: Designed to meet the demands of curved CRT faceplates and short focal length lenses, Philips' expansive 35-point convergence brings with it the accuracy of digital technology for flawless convergence of red, green, and blue guns and a superb picture with no colored haloes.

Eye Fidelity: Progressive Scan/Interlaced: Eye Fidelity gives the consumer a choice between 2 different scanning techniques--Progressive Scan and Interlaced. Progressive Scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once--also eliminating line flicker. The Interlaced mode provides for a double vertical display (interlaced) of progressive scan, which reduces annoying motion artifacts. The Interlaced mode also helps smooth out jagged lines sometimes seen on curved and angled surfaces.

Protective screen filter: This filter has been specifically formulated by Philips for HD displays to give the best possible picture and still protect your investment. The protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the delicate front Lenticular screen.

High-definition component-video and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) inputs: Supports HD video input for superb color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise; includes separate inputs for Y, Pb, Pr, horizontal sync and vertical sync plus a DVI direct-digital input.

3D Y/C comb filter: Activated when using the tuner and composite-video inputs, the 3D Y/C Comb Filter processes the video with spatial and temporal filtering--virtually eliminating cross-color and cross-luminance interference improving video resolution.

Dual-Tuner Picture-In-Picture: Enjoy all the benefits of PIP without a VCR. You can tune to your favorite show with tuner 1, for example, while scanning other channels with tuner 2 in the PIP window. The A/V inputs are also available as PIP sources so all functions of standard PIP are still accessible.

Virtual Dolby Surround (20 Watts RMS): Dolby processing circuitry for enhanced surround sound effect creates the sensation of Dolby Pro Logic without the hassle of additional rear speakers.

Customer Reviews:

$100 Piece of Junk.......2005-01-10

THE GOOD:

Looks nice from the outside.

Fits a 16 inch wide laptop and 6 inch battery.

Full Length File Pocket are useful for quick storing loose papers.

THE BAD:

Straps Damage Your Computer - The noisy Velcro straps that are to protect my computer from moving around inside have actually rubbed off the silver color on my computer to the white plastic underneath.

It Falls Over - It has plastic feet on the bottom, yet it and its +$2000 contents fall over. It has to be leaning next to something just set it down.

Six Pounds - Doesn't seem that much, but after carrying it around all day with a 11 pound computer inside it turns out to be real good exercise for your arms.

Noisy - I have to pull 4 noisy Velcro straps and 4 zippers to get the computer and mouse out, which always turns a few heads.

Painful Shoulder Strap - It's narrow and oddly shaped with very little cushion. I'd rather have my hands cramp up than have it dig into my shoulder.

Eight Useless Pockets - Why would I store my cell phone behind 18 inches of Velcro and 2 zippers if I intended to answer it? Out of the 5 pockets under the 18 inch Velcro and 2 zippers, I only use one to cram my retractable mouse in. My calculator won't fit in any of them. There are 4 more flat pockets, but important papers would get dog eared and anything else would create odd budges if you used them for storage.

$100 isn't cheap for something that actually harms to your computer. This case is getting replaced and going in the trash where it belongs.

A Bit Too Heavy.......2000-11-20

Good Design, but can't put notebook vertically in the compartment. Weight is 6.1lb, adding the notebook 7.5lb + ac adapter etc, it's quite heavy to carry around. Otherwise, it's a good notebook case in other sense.
