Wi-fi In Home With Airport Extreme?
« on: January 13, 2005, 11:23:37 pm »
Hi,
I'm getting a C300 Sharp Zaurus handheld and I want to determine the best way to go wireless.  I can get a base station for my imac g-5, but want to make sure that is a good solution.  I've been reading reviews of the different kinds of wireless cards to help me with that.  

Thanks, Mike

FWIW I have a Draytek 2900VG wireless router at home, and it works just fine with my Macs, my C860 (and a PC and a Linux box too). Does VOIP too!

Mike,

I use an Apple AirPort base station (white) with my PMG4 and my SL-C3000 with an Ambicom WL1100C-CF WiFi card.

Works great!

HTH,

Mark

Ambicom for me too - works great, straight out of the box with no scrounging around  for drivers etc. Had a Spectrum at first, never got it to work with WEP, lots of dodgy drivers that didn't install properly. Then it randomly died. Just my (limited) experience.
