SD Wi-Fi and D-Link Wireless Access Points

[mhanbury]

Hi, Does anyone know if the compatibility issues between the SD wi-fi card and Dlink 802.11G/B mixed mode wireless routers/access points has been fixed yet? Namely the DL-624+, DWL-2000AP+, DSL-902, DSL-604 AirG+ family. I have the DWL-2000AP+ and have been trying to get answers out of sandisk and dlink with no joy. Apparently there are problems because the SD card needs to work in B only mode and the dlink kit only supports G only or mixed mode.

Has anyone on here go the SD card working with any of the dlink kit mentioned above and if so what settings do you have to make on the access point and within the SD card drivers?

I would like to get the Magician and the Sandisk SD card but if there are problems with that combination and my wireless access point I with probably go for the Blue Angel.

Cheers

Hi,

There is compatibility issues with SanDisk SDCard Wifi and Dlink Wifi product, no doubt about it. None of these vendors wants to admit that their device is a fault. I can sure you that they have implementation compatibility issues. I have tried Cisco AP with SanDisk without issues and on the other hand tried various notebook Wifi with Dlink AP without problem. One way that I have found get Dlink product to work with SanDisk SDCard Wifi is to do the followings.

IF you have dual antenna AP or Router, you can enable the proprietary speed mode like super G or 4X, otherwise you have to disable it in Dlink.

1) make sure that the Wifi Channel is set to eleven (11).
2) Transmit and receive speed to a max of 11mbit.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Kueh.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Unfortunately still no joy. Set it to use channel 11, speed enhancments turned off. Set to mised mode max speed 11mbps open system no wep or wpa, mac filtering etc. SSID broadcasting turned on. The SD card can see the wireless network, it just times out trying to connect. I've also tried adjusting the preabble from short to long.
