Diamond HomeFreeA good wireless LAN solution
Quick Index:
Conclusion Home Wireless Networking works for ADSL users. Although the network speed (rated at 1 Mbps) is nowhere near that of an Ethernet adapter, it is more than offset by the fact that your laptop can be moved anywhere in the house and still maintain network access. In everyday use (sharing of small files, synchronization of documents), it is more than adequate. Also, the bandwidth allows for fairly speedy Internet use with maximum download speeds of 50-60 KB/sec achieved by the author. Unfortunately, wireless standards are still being adopted so Diamond’s HomeFree system uses a proprietary standard. In addition, proposed standards support higher LAN speeds of up to 10mbps (theoretical). With all the setup trouble and the difficulties I encountered using the standard/included software, I can only recommend the Diamond HomeFree Combo pack for users that have a) a medium-advanced knowledge of Windows and networking and b) users that absolutely must have the advantages of a wireless network. As for myself, I would definitely buy the kit again, simply because I really need the wireless aspect of it ! Here are some product pictures:
