noob question: Which brand wifi card are you using?

[1111]

Searched the forum but didn't see any posts regarding wifi cards.

My question: Which brand of wifi card are you using with your 700wx and why did you choose that brand? Any pros and cons you wish to share would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have the Palm and bought it right away when I got the 700wx. So far, I'm not impressed. It seems to lag toward the end of a page load. It also locks up to the point I have to do a soft reset. I've tried changing some settings but I'm frustrated with the card. I could probably deal with page loading lag but the lock up occurs after loading a page or two. I'm ready to try a different brand card.

I have the palm card also. Actually my palm card came with my palm T5 PDA. I've never been able to connnect to a network with it! I quit trying after 5 minutes due to frustration so I might have been doing something wrong. I wonder if it has to do with incombatability with installed software or if everyone has this problem.

I have a palm card and when I was using it it worked very well. The only thing I didn't like was, I all ways got an error telling me not enough memory to load drivers. I had to do a soft reset almost every time I used it just to get it to load the drivers. Once connected it worked perfect, loaded pages very quickly. Its not built in WIFI like my 6700 but it dose work well.

OK. I retract my statement about the Palm card. I'm using it right now perfectly. My problem was with the router. I've also gotten the out of memory error though. Anyone else been able to fix that issue with their cards?

I was using a Socket wifi card here. when I first got my WX, it worked, but just tried it again last week and get the 'out of memory' error. i hard reset this afternoon, but didn't try it until I was done installing all my stuff, and got the 'out of memory' error again.
