LAN adapter. The DWL-650 will operate in 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS) for wireless networks in the home or office environment. It is designed
to operate in 3.3V or 5.0V DC slots. In addition, the DWL-650 uses a 64/128-bit
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption for a secure network connection.
The D-Link DWL-650 can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (Peer-to-Peer networking without access point) or Infrastructure mode (Peer-to-Peer networking using an access point). In Infrastructure mode, the DWL-650 can be connected to a broadband residential gateway or a DSL/Cable modem for high-speed wireless Internet access on the existing network.
The DWL-650 can transmit data at 11, 5.5, 2 or 1 Mbps per channel. The DWL-650 transmit rate values can be manually selected for Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, Fixed 1 Mbps, Fixed 11 Mbps, Fixed 2 Mbps, Fixed 5.5 Mbps and Fully Auto. The DWL-650 has full mobility and seamless roaming from cell to cell as well as across access points. The range of coverage per cell for indoor use is up to 328 feet and up to 984 feet per cell for outdoor use.
The DWL-650 comes with an internal non-detachable diversity patch antenna and one built-in green LED indicator for power, network link and activity. The DWL-650 is compatible with Windows 98, ME, 2000, NT 4.0.

I bought the DWL 650 about three years ago and haven't had any problems until now. The range has been great, and the speed wasn't a problem, especially on the internet. The signal never just ''bottomed out'' and it was very cheap. But now, I would say, go with 802.11g.
