DWL-650+ vs. Orinoco Gold no-name copy

[Orsorum]

Any thoughts?

They're both the same price, close to the same after shipping. I've heard really good things about the Orinoco (it's a no-name brand name, but made by Orinoco), but the DWL-650+ and the extra speed that the D-Link can provide looks semi-attractive.

The DWL650+ needs a counter like the DI-614+ WAP to provide more speed, regular component will not provide it.

If you are using the Wireless in close proximity it will be OK. If distance is important you better off with Orinoco

Awesome, thanks. I'd just be using it for wireless in class and in some of the study halls around here, I just use my regular Ethernet card in my room.
