It’s possible to make the HTC Universal based Pocket PC phone to compatible and able to connect to 802.11g-only access points by a registry tweak, but the speed would still be the same as 802.11b (11 Mbit/s).
The registry tweak is to change and add the following registry decimal values using a registry editing tool like the PHM Registry Editor at your HTC Universal based Pocket PC:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TIACXWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
After adding and editing above registry key, soft-reset the device.






could it be that easy???!!!!

If you read that article it is for a phone (HTC Universal) that has a wi-fi radio in it. This is just solving a probalem that said radio can only connect to a/b wifi hotspots and the user has a wireless-g hotspot. This a hack to connect to a G hotspot only.

and it doesn't apply to just any device. The Touch has no wifi hardware.

Correct, and this has been discussed many, many times in many, many threads.
