[kki000]

First deal post.. so take it easy on me.

Dlink Air Pro DWL - A650
38 left so far
19.99 ?? The same card is on the site for more.

104 for same card
Seems like some kind of promotion.
they slam you with 15 bucks of s/h but it still seems like a good deal.

Looks like I'll have to upgrade my AP.
Any deals now on dual band 802.11a 11b routers?

Anybody have any real ife experience with 11a products, heard the range is quite poor compared to 11b.

Will this work with public networks? How else is 802.11a preferable over the 802.11b at amazon?

I just ordered it. That is a GREAT PRICE!! My college is going to use the 802.11a. I already have the 802.11b. $20 is incredable.

the one at amazon is 802.11b. Its slower, and it is 2.4 ghz, meaning, your phone, microwave, anything with the same frequency will interfear with it.

What a gread deal, you rock!

Any good, cheap 802.11a routers and USB adapters? I want to have a wireless network, but don't want to spend too much.

 

[Spendthrift]

wow, thats a sweet deal! hope that its a good card.

 

[MikroMak]

802.11a is 54mbps right? does it support AdHoc or does it require an AP?

 

[johto]

wtf is with this?

that is ridiculously cheap.... something must be up, right??

 

[Mankster]

Must have been a pricing error. The price now is $99.99.

 

[subpar]

I think it was a mistake and they do state that they are not responsible for typographical errors. I guess we will have to see about this one.

Edit: Mankster beat me to it.

 

[Spendthrift]

they better give me mine for the 19.99 price

 

[patrickj]

Looks like the price has changed...too bad, I was just about to order....I have been waiting for 802.11a to get cheaper...

 

[johto]

*just* got my order in... @19.99... we shall see

 

[diggger]

Got my order in as well.

Put it in the basket and then did some comparisons and investigations.

Pricewatch shows the best price as $94.

I was concerned when I went to finalize it would tell me "all gone", but the order went through

Thanks, kki000 - great first post!

 

[lyrebird]

Will this work with 802.11b AP?

Just got one @19.99, however the s/h is around $15.

This is showing 99.99 for me. I think it might have been price error.

no it will not. 11a is 5ghz, 11b is 2.4ghz.

I guess it will be cancelled ......
