| 224114 | 2004-03-21 08:18:00 | I recently purchased the Dlink G520 Wireless Network Adapter. On the website, it states that this model can run at 108Mbps. To do so, I downloaded the latest Wireless Configuration utility from Dlink. (v 2.42) Upon first install, a radio button for "Super G" is available to click. Super G, I believe, is the 108Mbps standard Dlink uses. Anyway, when i restarted my computer, the button disappeared - that is, it's greyed out. All that i have to choose from now is 11B or 11G. Now I'm confused, I thought I just bought a 108 MBps card... How do I make it run that fast? (This is all pre connecting to another network). |

If the other end is only 11 Mbs for instance that's all the link will run at. Even when you do, everything will have to line up perfectly (including last nights lotto results) before it will give 108 Mbs. |

| 224116 | 2004-03-21 09:13:00 | I understand, and to tell you the truth there is not other computer it connects to. My main question is why I can choose to use 802.11b or 802.11g, but i can't choose to use Super G. | Growly (6) | ||
| 224117 | 2004-03-21 09:34:00 | Maybe you can't choose it because its already chosen and working. | PoWa (203) | ||
| 224118 | 2004-03-21 10:35:00 | Hmm, i know what you mean but the in the window beside that is says "Band" and it has either 11G or 11b, then under that it has the speeds, from 1-54Mbps | Growly (6) | ||
| 224119 | 2004-03-21 10:55:00 | Ill have a guess. It had a stab at hooking into a high speed network and not finding one disabled the button. Just a guess though,cause that wouldn't exactly be very helpful if you travelled to a site with a compatible network and tried to hook up. |

| 224120 | 2004-03-22 06:10:00 | I know what you mean, and thanks, but although it makes sense, it begs the question; Why arent the others blanked out? I mean there is no other network present, its just by itself... But at the beginning it could... ( before restart) |
