With both WiFi5 certification compatibility and IEEE 802.11a standard compliance, the D-Link AirPro DWL-A520 high-speed wireless adapter is designed for indoor use and provides excellent network scalability.A proprietary "Turbo" mode feature allows the D-Link DWL-A520 to operate at significantly greater bandwidth data rates up to 72 Mbps.

    Quick WinXp Install and Setup, Fast transfer, September 10, 2004
By user (Los Angeles, CA)
Very quick and the hardest part was finding my cd drive so I could click the setup.exe of the software. I mean my documents, my pictures, when I finally found it I did a double click, and it set itself up. I should note that I also used an access point to connect my dsl and ethernet lines and the wireless connection was between My Computer, I mean, my computer and the access point. They work together by default. I'm not sure about the security of it all, I need to look into that part of it. But I was able to use my computer in the other room and download streaming pornography without running any cables, to me that makes it worth it.

I was very pleased to find out how well all of my 802.11a stuff works with each other. I get very fast speeds, I notice no difference than my wired network except I have no wires. I am getting a good signal from about 2 rooms down and I haven't had a loss in connection ever since I set it up (about 2 weeks ago).
