802.11g Wireless LAN CardBus Adapter
Real Throughput Up to 10X Faster
The D-Link AirPlusG+TM DWL-G650+ Wireless CardBus adapter is an enhanced 802.11g high-performance, wireless adapter
for notebook computers. This adapter supports high-speed wireless networking of up to 54Mbps, while providing seamless
interoperability with all existing 802.11b and 802.11b+ wireless equipment. Together with better security, this adapter is the ideal
wireless solution that offers an upgrade to a fast, new technology while protecting your past investments through interoperability
with your current network equipment.
Up to 54Mbps Transmission Speed
Real Throughput 10 Times Faster Than 802.11b Wireless
Adapters
Compatible With 802.11b and 802.11b+
The DWL-G650+ provides speeds of up to 54Mbps when used with
TM other D-Link AirPlusG+ and other 802.11g products. This compares
favorably with 802.11b adapters that offer 11Mbps speed, and with
802.11b+ adapters that give 22Mbps transmission. The DWL-G650+
provides all these using a single 2.4GHz wireless frequency,
eliminating the complexity of dualband networking.
This enhanced speed and adoption of 2.4GHz frequency, now
available for public use in most countries, plus the mobility and
convenience inherent in a wireless LAN, make this adapter an ideal
solution for bandwidth intensive WLAN applications.
Apart from the higher theoretical network data transfer speed of
54Mbps for 802.11g against the 11Mbps for 802.11b, the DWLG650+
also delivers a much faster data transmission than other
wireless LAN adapters. In a typical working environment with
multiple users accessing the network at the same time, the
DWL-G650+ operates at 10 times the speed of a normal 802.11b
wireless LAN card, which is made possible by means of an embedded
turbo engine on-board this adapter.
802.11g compatibility with existing wireless LAN standards 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 802.11b+ with 802.11g devices, but you will not
lose the ability to communicate.
Easy Migration to Higher Bandwidth
Powerful Performance
Advanced Security
Easy Installation
By maintaining compatibility with your existing wireless network
equipment, this adapter lets you upgrade to a higher speed at the pace you
want. The DWL-G650+ and other 802.11g standard devices can be
gradually added to your network, while the rest of your older network
remains perfectly connected.
To take full advantage of the new 54Mbps network bandwidth, this
adapter uses 32-bit high-speed CardBus design to transfer network data
with the computer host. This ensures that no bottlenecks take place
between your computer's CPU and your network wireless adapter.
In addition to offering faster data transfer speeds, this adapter also
provides the newest, strongest, most advanced security features available
today. For home users that do not incorporate a radius server in their
networks, security is provided in a convenient, automatic way (when used
in conjunction with other 802.11g products). No longer will you have to
frequently input a new WEP key to execute security operations. With the
DWL-G650+, you will automatically receive a new key every time you
connect, doing away with the inconvenience of manual WEP key input.
The DWL-G650+ provides a stronger network security with 64, 128 and
256-bit WEP data encryption.
With hot swap and plug-and-play capabilities, this adapter can be easily
installed into a notebook PC for direct connection to any wireless device
in the ad-hoc mode or infra-structure mode. Access to your wired
Ethernet servers is also provided through your wireless LAN access
points.

Introduction
The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G+ DWL-G650+ Wireless Cardbus Adapter is a 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 data transfers at up to 8X (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.
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 DWLG650+,
you will automatically receive a new key every time you connect, vastly increasing
the safety of your communications.
