Hawking Technology HWC54D Review by Neil Bowker "vertaqua" (SLC)

I just got this wireless card today and it works great. I now have a consistent excelent signal that I could barely get with my old linksys 54g piece of crap. I think I'm going to light that old card on fire and send the ashes back to linksys for all the grief it caused me. Thank you Hawking Technology


Hawking Technology HWC54D Review by NY Lawyer

The Broadcom wireless adaptor that is built into my notebook generally does an excellent job of locking onto any decent signal in the vicinity. Accordingly, I for years would never have thought to need a card like this. However, I have been spending a couple of nights a week at a large rural home where the wireless access point is in a home office on one side of the house and my bedroom is all the way across the home in another wing. My internal wireless feature works fine outside in the garden, in the garage, in a car in the driveway, in most downstairs rooms, but not in the bedroom where I work at a desk. It fades in and out and wasn't enough even to load a simple web page like Yahoo or download POP email. Forget about video; instead, the adaptor would tantalize me by letting me know it could see the network, but all I would get is an intermittant connection. Grrrrr. A card like this seemed the easiest and least intrusive solution.

Sure enough, this thing turns a basically useless signal into a "very good" signal when properly aimed, allowing me to get even high-speed streaming video. I couldn't be happier.

Setup was easy: insert disk. Run setup program. Insert card. Click Next a few times as windows finds and installs the card. Carefully open fold-up antenna and aim same using the nifty signal strength utility.

Yes, I know I'm going to have to be careful not to yank the antenna or I will doubtless break it. But it's not like I'm going to be slamming my notebook around in the spot I am currently using it.

I couldn't be happier with how this all worked out.


Hawking Technology HWC54D Review by Rex Bernard "Rex Bernard" (Norman OK)

I decided to purchase this product even though many reviewers said that the antenna part, that lifts up, is very flimsy. I figured that I could be careful and it would last a long time. I made it about three weeks and then it happened. I was in a hotel room and getting my laptop set up so I could get my emails and as I was lifting up the antenna it broke. I really didn't do anything wrong. So there it was, in my hand, dangling from a little wire the went through the hole into the card. I decided to do a little investigation and see if I got a better signal with me holding the antenna up as far as I could(about 2 inches)as opposed to placing it down in the closed position. I noticed no difference so I poked the wire back in the hole and got out the transparent tape and taped the antenna back onto the card. I have used it in this position for a few weeks and it seems to get a good signal everywhere I try (in wifi areas). As long as it gives me a good signal I am happy. I do wonder if I could have gotten an equally good signal with another product that does not have the flip up antenna and is about half the price.

Hawking Technology HWC54D:: Description


MODEL- H-WC54D VENDOR- HAWKING TECHNOLOGIES FEATURES- Hi-Speed Wireless-G Laptop Card Hawking Technologies' HWC54D Wireless-G Cardbus PC Card Adapter features the latest in wireless technology. Standard wireless cardbus cards use low power antennas that deliver a circular signal pattern. This type of pattern recieves interference from the metal components within the laptop resulting in a drop in wireless performance and distance. The HWC54D solves this problem with its advanced directional 6 dBi Hi-Gain Antenna that delivers a strong concentrated signal in the direction of the wireless access point to establish a strong wireless link resulting in a significant increase in operating distance (Up to 200%). The Hi-Gain antenna position swivels and folds to make finding an optimal signal easy and simple. When you are not using the card simply fold the antenna down for compact safe easy transport. The Wireless-G Cardbus Card is packed with features including support for true plug and play (hot swappable) high level security (WPA and WEP Encryption) and low power consumption to preserve your laptops battery life. The HWC54D uses the latest wireless standard for the fastest connection speeds (Up to 54Mbps - 802.11g). It is also backwards compatible with legacy wireless 802.11b products. Transferring data audio and even video files wirelessly will be easy and fast. Configuration and installation is simplified to get your wireless network up and running in a matter of minutes!
