Introduction
The D-Link

DWL-G650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter is an enhanced
802.11g high-performance, wireless adapter that supports high-speed wireless networking
at home, at work or in public places.
Unlike most network cards, the DWL-G650 provides speeds of up to 54 Mbps (compared
to the standard 11 Mbps) when used with other D-Link

products. This means
that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may
sacrifice some of 802.11g’s speed when you mix 802.11b and 802.11g devices, but you
will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11g standard into
your 802.11b network. You may choose to slowly change your network by replacing the
802.11b devices with 802.11g devices gradually.
In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds when used with other 802.11g products,
the DWL-G650 has the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available
today.
For home users that will not incorporate a radius server in their network, the security for
the DWL-G650, used in conjunction with other 802.11g products, will be much stronger
than ever before. No longer will you have to manually input a new WEP key frequently to
ensure security, with the DWL-G650, you will automatically receive a new key every
time you connect, vastly increasing the safety of your communications.
