Actual transfer rate seems high enough, but the latency spoils it. Overall, performance is a bit odd - it seems to have really bad latency - nothing will happen for 10 sec, then suddenly everything comes through at once. The software is a bit confusing as it always forgets the PSK or WEP key when you open the prefs, but it seems it does actually remember it. I didn't have trouble with the IPv6 and burst mode (which was turned off by default anyway) issues mentioned, but I left them off.
The software is certainly better than D-Link's, and it gets much better reception - I'm getting 65% at 54Mbits where I was lucky to get 50% with the D-Link.Īnother big bonus - it supports WPA-PSK and it works! I've been looking into various options so I though I'd get one of these Belkin dongles and give this driver a shot. Having said the, the drivers are very buggy, and D-Link have a long history of not giving a stuff on this subject. As far as I'm aware it's the only wireless USB dongle that officially works on OS X. I've been using a D-Link DWL-122 (802.11b) with an iMac DV SE.
