There is nothing on the client side that you need to set. It all depends on the settings of the router. Make sure you have XR mode off. Use any of the SuperG modes (with or without Turbo). Make sure you are broadcasting SSID and that the wireless TX rate is set to Auto.

If all else fails, reset the router to factory defaults. At the default settings, the router is set for 108 Mbps/SuperG. If you still don't get 108 Mbps after doing all that with the router, then it's time to focus on the DWL-G650. First trying a reinstall using Device Manager. Said by: Same but stranger problem.

Running same hardware and Atheros drivers. Atheros clients reports 54Mbps but Windows Wireless reports 108Mbps. I have no real way to test the speed between the computer and the router and my internet connection is max 12Mbps so it really do not matter, but it is sort of annoying anyway. I've seen that. I'm not sure what to make of it. I first noticed it with one of the 4.2.xx.xx Atheros (non-Dlink, probably Beta) drivers/application. My guess is that it's an application problem, since Windows gets its information from the driver.

Hi, I've been using Netgear driver and GUI for ages now, find it connects much quicker than the Atheros. Also in Home/Wireless, I have Super G Mode = disabled » I'm about 15 metres away from the DI-624 f/w 2.71 build7, going through 4 brick and 3 insulated cavity walls.

Connection speed will oscilate between 72-108Mbps, probably mostly on 96Mbps. File transfer speed is about 3.5 - 4Mbps to a wired PC and virtually never get any wireless dropouts.

My DI-624 is only being used in AP (Access Point) mode and I find it hard to fault, no reboots ever etc. Said by: Hi, I've been using Netgear driver and GUI for ages now, find it connects much quicker than the Atheros.

Cheerz;^) Okay, that's horked too! If SuperG is disabled, you should have a 54 Mbps connection. What data speed does Windows report (enable the option to show the icon in the system tray when connected, then hover the mouse over the system tray icon)? I am totaly fed up with these devices!! I tried everything you guys told me to try. From atheros drivers to netgear drivers.

D Link Airplus Xtreme G Dwl G650 Driver For Mac Os X

I did it all Tomorrow I send it all(router and pcmcia card) back to Dlink and let them try to figure this S.&^ out. I will demand they return me 2 working units that can connect at 108Mbps, as advertized on the boxes. I dont have any other 108mpbs cards or routers, so I cant tell which device(s) is the cause of the problem.

I paid for 108 not 54Mbps. I will try to get a third card for free for the trouble they put me through:D, doughtful but I will try. I really want to be a fan of dlink right know but its really hard.sigh. if you have updated the firmware on teh DI-624 to 2.70.

SUPER G IS NOW DYNAMIC. It will only trigger 108MBPS when you transfer files. You will NOT be connected at 108MBPS You can no longer set SUPER G to static turbo because IEEE said that it is not a standard and it was causing some funky symptoms on the DI-624. You can probably try and flash 2.42 on it and see if you can set it to STATIC turbo.

On some of the G650, there is some times a 'super G mode' yuo have to enable. Depends on the card revision. If it's a C or new. Then it will auto negotiate super G.

Super G range is ridiculously short. I've tested it with a D-Link card AND an winton 5004 card and i will get 108 when transfering files at about 5 ft from the router. Maybe 10 if i'm lucky. Other then that.

Don't expect much from Super G. Transfering files wireless from 54MBps and '108MBps' is noticable a little bit faster but i highly doubt it can transfer faster then copper which is 100MBps besides you shouldn't be transfering huge files wirelessly anyways. If you want max range with excelent signal strength you'll need to lower the TX rate =). Nothing wrong with the devices. Windows doesn't indicate proper tx rates D-Link utility doesn't indicate proper tx rates the only way to determine if you are getting 108 mbps IS to use a program that constantly sends packets of information i did this on a field experiment at one of D-Link's management's friend's house. It was a dos program that you set up a server. At the router ( where ever it is) wired to the router.

You then move the laptops aroudn the house and record avg tx rates. This gave more EXACT tx rates rather then seeing the homo (connected at 108mbps) with out any proof.

The packets were about 10 megs so we can see every second how much the TX rate was. With a 624 and a ANT-0400 we achieved 24 mbps through out a house that was roughly the size of a 6 bedroom house ( it was HUGE ). Witht he stock 2dbi we were getting aorund 3-5 mbps. Router was in centralized place and we tested it using a DWL-G650 and my Atheros card. The closer you got to teh router the higher the tx rate. Point of me telling you this.

Unless your gonna be using 108MBPS constantly transfering 1gb files at a time. Then you shouldn't be worrying about 108mbps anyways. Since the internet only uses what? 5-10 mbps anyways soo it's not like your internet will go slower.

Like i said before. SUPER G IS DYNAMIC and you can NO LONGER set STATIC because of IEEE telling the engineers to disable it. Before you could still force static turbo and have it always connect at 108 but you have the newest firmware where it was disabled. 2.42/2.50 i believe had static turbo. Said by: nothing wrong with the devices. Windows doesn't indicate proper tx rates D-Link utility doesn't indicate proper tx rates the only way to determine if you are getting 108 mbps IS to use a program that constantly sends packets of informationYou are confusing throughput with datarate.

And actually, there is a third number in here that I guess I'll call port rate. The port rate is what Windows reports. You can think of this as the maximum datarate.

This is the speed that Windows is connected to the hardware via the driver. This is generally not variable, although I've seen some weird things sometimes with Intel drivers. When you hover over the icon in the system tray for the wireless network card (the Windows one, not the vendor one), you will see the port rate in a pop-up.

The datarate is the current signalling rate of the transmitters. In 802.11, this rate often varies up and down along a set of supported rates.

This increase and decrease based on the error rate of the link. If the errors are increasing, then the link is slowed down (slower packets are easier to decypher). Many of the wi-fi utilities provided by Atheros and others will report both the TX and RX rate somewhere and you will see that they often rest somewhere below 54 Mbps. Finally, the throughput is the rate of the delivery of the actual cargo of the network - your desired data. This is what matters to end-users. As a rule, the faster the datarate, the faster the throughput unless there are too many errors.

Errors cause packets to be repeated, and it's definitely more efficient to slow the datarate to the point where few errors occur than it is to retransmit a ton of clobbered packets (this is why it's a bad idea to lock the TX rate at 54 Mbps instead of leaving it on Auto). Said by: The best real data rate I get from transfering a 700Mb file from my hardwired desktop to my wireless laptop is about 24Mbps no matter what setting I tried or driver or firmware. My old Trendnet tew-421PC(standard 54Mbps) got about 22Mbps. 10% improvement is what superG will give? That cant be acurate.

You are having problems channel bonding, so you're not making it into Turbo mode. But the other SuperG features are probably responsible for the 10%. I live in a neighborhood with 5 wireless networks around me. I can't channel bond, either.

Unlike most network cards, the DWL-G650 provides data transfers at up to 54 Mbps (compared to the standard 11 Mbps) when used with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b 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 gradually replacing the 802.11b devices with 802.11g devices. 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. When used with other 802.11g WPA (WiFi Protected Access) and 802.1x compatible products in a network with a radius server, the security features include: WPA.: A new security feature, Wi-Fi Protected Access authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes automatically at a regular interval. WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) to change the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security.

(By contrast, the older WEP encryption required the keys to be changed manually.) 802.1x: Authentication is a first line of defense against intrusion. In the Authentication process the server verifies the identity of the client attempting to connect to the network. Unfamiliar clients would be denied access.

Jade-11666 add xstartonfirstthread as a command line. 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 still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing the Pre Shared Key mode of WPA, the DWL-G650 will obtain a new security key every time it connects to the 802.11g network. You only need to input your encryption information once in the configuration menu.

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. D-Link, the industry pioneer in wireless networking, introduces another performance breakthrough in wireless connectivity—the D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM series of high-speed devices. The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G650 Cardbus Adapter is a wireless cardbus featuring the very latest in advanced wireless silicon chip technology, including enhanced security to shield and protect your wireless communication from intruders.

The DWL-G650 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. With the enhancement of D-Link 108G, the DWL-G650 can achieve wireless speeds up to 15x faster than standard 802.11b in a pure D-Link 108G environment through the use of new wireless techniques such as Packet Bursting, FastFrame, Compression & Encryption, and Turbo mode. This provides a bandwidth large enough to handle video/audio streaming and Video on Demand (VoD) applications. Even Faster Wireless Networking from Your Notebook PC Works with 802.11b Devices Great for Video Streaming Increased Wireless Security with 802.1X and WPA Now Up to 108Mbps and Backwards Compatible to 11g & 11b The DWL-G650 features WPA and 802.1X for wireless user authentication, providing you a much higher level of security for your data and communications than has previously been available in a wireless networking solution.

The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G650 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-G650 is a powerful 32-bit cardbus adapter that installs quickly and easily into laptop 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-G650 can be used in ad-hoc mode to connect directly with other cards 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.
