Thanks to kanate for finding it cheaper.....see his post below......

I figure everyone was posting their Dell/Belkin deals, so here is my great find.... 😀


BELKIN COMPONENTS Wireless 802.11b Notebook Network Card Qty: 1 Unit Price: $47.56 Link

BELKIN COMPONENTS Wireless 802.11b Access Point Qty: 1 Unit Price: $96.01 Link

Sub-Total $168.90

You must go through the small business section to get these prices......


 
An access point has to plug into your network somehow, usually a router or hub. Some routers have access points built in, which this does not.


A question, could you hook up the AP to the DSL/Cable modem with a crossover cable? I never thought about it before, but if that would work you could have the Modem damn near anywhere, and go totally wireless.


I already had a Linksys router when I bought my Wi-Fi setup, so I just plugged it in and it worked. Usually a no-brainer for just access, but if you are a security freak then you better do your research and buy one that suits you as far as that goes. D-Link JUST released a firmware upgrade that does 128bit WEP, and added Web management.

I hope it's all good.....????

thanks for the heads up kanate. just got the access point + desktop card + laptop card for $148 and change total and shipped.
 
AHHHhhhhhh! Outdone by a Junior Member......Nahh, just kidding.....Now I gotta cancel my order and reorder....thanks for finding it cheaper.....
 
I got in on the PC card and the Access Point for $135. They charged me state sales tax though ($8)🙁

Still for 135 shipped you can not beat it.
Hope Belkin doesn't make crapola.
 
i'm pretty sure it's a rebadge from some other manufacturer. if i had to guess, it probably uses the intersic prism chipset; same found in dlink, smc, and many others. although performance can vary greatly. 🙁
 
Do you mean Intersil chipset? This is what this card has.....uses both 802.11b and ad-hoc for P2P. You may be right about rebadge....Dlink and Linksys also rebadge their 802.11b cards.
 
For those of you who don't have a router already, I believe you can pick up the WAP and 3 port switch with card for around 150ish.
 
Has anybody gotten their order confirmation for this? I recieved my order acknowledgement email a few minutes after ordering, but I have yet to recieve my order confirmation email... I ordered this back on the 12th... has anybody recieved any status on their order? Or is Dell lagging as usual? I tried checking on my order status page and the order isn't even listed there, even after entering my customer # and my zip code. Anybody?
 
I ordered both the card and access point....not found....I called and they said the order was not in their system....all I got was an acknowledgement...no confirmation. The cards are back in stock....but oot the access point....I held a card in my cart...maybe the access points will come back in stock.
 
Did anyone actually get this stuff? My order got cancelled (a "slight problem"):
----------------

Hello;
I am contacting you regarding the order you placed online with Dell.
There is a slight problem with one of the parts on it and I am unable to
place the order without speaking to you. If you could please call me, or
email me back when you get the chance, I would greatly appreciate it. I will
be here until 7 pm central time and everyday this month except for Wednesday
and Sunday. All discounts are still valid.
Thank you
