Product Description 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 Air Plus Xtreme G products delivers throughput speeds capable of handling heavy data payloads including real-time MPEG video streaming.The D-Link Air Plus 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. 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 Air Plus 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.
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 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 industryâs 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 industryâs 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.

Windows 7 driver issues solvedJanuary 14, 2010 Joshua A. Daniels(Sp. Fork, UT) I had trouble with this device in Windows 7 64 bit. (It is no longer supported by D-Link for current operating systems)
However, I WAS able to get it working by using instructions found here: [...]
It is a GOOD card but because it is older than Windows 7 there were a few issues.
Blue Screen of DeathMarch 25, 2009 S. Arunkumar(Indiana) BSD and system freezing is true. I removed this card and installed E-home and now I do not get BSD.
I would like to find out, if all models of Dlink adapters have this problem.
Saves weeks of work!January 30, 2008 Kerry G. Lee(Troy NY) Hey guy-
Depending on how Computer-y you are, Ill throw out that this uses a chipset 100% able to work with Linux out of the box! Works flawlessly after being auto-detected on a Ubuntu 7.1 machine!
And I was ready for a fight....

I have Two of these cards and can't get either of them to work in any of my 4 computers they have major driver issue's that locks up your computer upon installing
Excellent saleJanuary 2, 2008 Michael Byrd(Ocala, FL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The part arrived on time, in great condition and installed properly. It worked in a Windows 98 machine, which was what I was counting on.
