cisco or dlink?

Question

is CISCO AIR-PCI352 Aironet 350 Series PCI Adapter more stable than Dlink DWl-g520+ ?

I have 31 SNR with Dlink dwl-g520+, and ocasionally i keep disconnecting with the APi want to access, will cisco PCI help with more stability under these circumstances? i think my problem are the neighbours AP's....

so should i invest on a cisco adapter and discard my dwl-g520+ ?

Answer 1

Cisco products are of course known for their great reliability and stability - I can't say if it would fix your problem, but I can definitely say that if you were having a problem with the wireless card, Cisco's card would fix it. If it is a problem with the AP's, obviously getting a different adapter wouldn't help. The Cisco client utility however, that I believe is bundled with the adapter, is extremely good at keeping a reliable, secure connection to the AP that you want - and it includes many options that can make it more or less specific.

Answer 2

The CISCO AIR-PCI352 Aironet 350 Series PCI Adapter is a 802.11b which is the older and slower standard. Your D-Link card is 802.11g which is faster. Most wireless routers are set to use channel 6 by default. Go into the configuration utility page and change to a different channel. If you have a cordless phone base station near the wireless router move it since WiFi and most modern cordless phones use the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

Answer 3

3 possibilities:

1. The OS is faulty (try updates / other drivers).

2. The in-adapter configuration needs attention.

3. Your provider is the problem.

D-Link Corporation is a Taiwanese company that manufactures wireless and Ethernet computer networking products for both consumer and SOHO users. The company was founded in 1986 by Ken Kao, Current CEO and Chairman. The corporate headquarters are located in Taipei, Taiwan. As of 2006, the company has offices in over 90 countries around the world. D-Link is the largest wireless LAN provider in Europe and China.



To focus on brand businesses, D-Link decided to spin off the company's OEM/ODM business to "Alpha Networks" in 2003. In 2004, 17% of Alpha Networks shares was sold to Quanta Computers. Focusing on network brand business, D-Link became the leading network brand in Taiwan.



In 2005, Poul-Henning Kamp, a FreeBSD developer, noticed that the Danish stratum 1 timeserver appeared to be the victim of a DDoS attack[1]. Research into the matter revealed that a number of D-Link network products were hardwired to consult stratum 1 timeservers (which sit at the highest level of the NTP hierarchy, and are usually intended for the exclusive use of other timeservers) directly for NTP information, instead of relying on their respective ISPs' timeservers. This activity violated accepted practices as well as wishes of the administrators of higher-level timeservers, often incurring significant expense in the process[2].



D-Link is not the first company to engage in this behaviour. In 2003, Netgear caused similar problems[3] for the University of Wisconsin, which were eventually resolved.
