CNET Editors' review - D-Link DWL-G520 AirPlus Xtreme G wireless PCI adapter
Hide

Very good

7.1

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.1 out of 10
Reviewed by Stephanie Bruzzese
Review date: 9/22/04
Release date: 6/22/04

The good: WPA and 802.1x security; fast maximum throughput; removable, external antenna.

The bad: Mediocre mixed-mode throughput; harder to install than a simple USB adapter; for Windows OS-based computers only.

The bottom line: The DWL-G520 offers solid speed and security, but like all PCI adapters, it's a pain to install.
