I'm having problems with my D-link DWL-650+. I have this PCMCIA card
installed in a Toshiba Satellite A10-SP129. The 650+ isn't detecting
the 802.11b network in the area, which is WEP encrypted. I have another
card, a Proxim Orinoco Gold 8420-WD, which detects and connects to the
network just fine.
I've installed the latest d-link driver. I've tried finding the network
using windows, and using the d-link software.
There is only one network in the area, but i doubt it would see the
others if they existed.
Any ideas? Am I dealing with a dead card here, or is there something i
can do in xp sp2?
Hi
Disable WZC and use the D-link utility to make sure that the card is not
configured to work at 802.11g only.
In general.

Make sure you are not trying to use the proprietary "turbo" mode.
how far are you from the router? What brand and model access
point/router are you trying to connect to? did this card ever work
before or is this new?

I've tried disabling windows control of the wireless card, and letting
the d-link utility find the network, to no avail. This card only works
with 802.11b - no g with this guy.
any other ideas?
thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I've disabled the "4x" mode in the D-link
configuration for the 650+. I have two routers - one is a di-624 rev.C,
which is the main router. I have another linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt
installed on it as a repeater. I'm a few feet from the repeater, and
about 20 feet from the main router. Both have the same SSID.
I've just recently been getting intermittent connections with the
wireless signals. When the card sees them, it sees both (one stronger,
of course). It will even occasionally connect (to the stronger one -
the linksys). But then the signals will drop out, and it will think
there are no networks in the area. I remember this happening before.
I do believe this card worked before, a while ago.
Any ideas are very welcome!
thanks,

do you mean roaming as opposed to repeater? same SSID but different
channels?

Unless my terminology is mixed up, I think it's a repeater. Same
channel. Routes the traffic to the main router. Does not serve DHCP
addresses itself, etc.
Regardless, I don't think the problem is with the router set up. When I
unplug the repeater, the main router is still not detected.
