Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The D-Link DCF-660W is a wireless 802.11b-compliant CompactFlash card, providing a solution for connecting PDAs and handheld computers to an existing 802.11b wireless network. It operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range and uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). The DCF-660W is for users of PDAs and handhelds who want the convenience of roaming and connecting to an existing wireless network without being tethered to wires and cables.
The DCF-660W will operate in either ad-hoc mode (networked without an access point) or in infrastructure mode (networked using an access point). It transmits data at 11, 5.5, 2, or 1 Mbps. The DCF-660W also provides an auto fall-back feature to automatically adjust the speed of the adapter, depending on the distance from the access point. In an open environment, the DCF-660W with its built-in antenna has a range of up to 460 feet at 11 Mbps and up to 1,311 feet at 1 Mbps.
The DCF-660W requires a CompactFlash Type I or Type II interface (available in most PDAs and handhelds). To ensure long battery life, the DCF-660W has minimal power consumption of 80mA in power-save mode and less than 350mA in transmission mode. The DCF-660W is compatible with Windows CE 3.0 and works with Windows PC 2002. It comes with a one-year limited warranty.

A Welcome Surprise!,
By A Customer
This review is from: D-Link DCF-660w Wireless CompactFlash Adapter (Personal Computers)
I was in the market for a CF Wi-Fi card for my iPaq H3955. Had intended to purchase either the Socket or Symbol cards, but then I found this card at Best Buy. Smaller than the previous D-Link card (DCF-650W), but not quite as small as the Symbol or Socket. Price was right though. ... Power consumption seems fine- using with the CF-Plus Expansion Back, get at least a couple hours before the first low CF battery warning. Extends above the CF sleeve about a half-inch. Software installation was smooth and painless. The card itself has an LED to indicate operation. Bringing up the card settings does offer a complete set of options, including infrastrucure or ad-hoc operation, and the documentation explains how to set up the card to work with any public hotspot. WEP works fine with my Linksys WAP. Detractor: does not have any kind of indicator on the Today screen as to signal strength. Also, no carrying case for the card.

Great little card,
By A Customer
This review is from: D-Link DCF-660w Wireless CompactFlash Adapter (Personal Computers)
I got this card for my Dell Axim, and it's pretty good. I'm very pleased with ease of installation, quality of signal, and battery life lasts a couple of hours on my Axim. I recommend it against any other card out there(except Symbol and Socket, which are excellent cards but cost almost twice as much). D

This product works great with a Dell Axim. It took all of 10min. to set up and get connected to my university's wireless 802.11b network. Just perfect!!!
