Joseph and List,
the one question I have is, how far do these routers broadcast from the
original computer it is connected to? Sometimes we can almost get our
neighbor's service, but I don't know who's wireless I'm picking up? I don't
know if it's next dor, around the corner, or across the street. My pastor
was able to use their network with his laptop, but I am not with my BN. I
find that interesting.

Hi Sean, Brian and list,
Few other things:
* The 802.11tion standard has a speed of 105 mbps. Also, 2.45
GHz spectrum is shared by Bluetooth as well.
* There are two more WiFi standards being developed: 801.11ence
and 802.11i (these are just internal enhancements unlike
802.11ong and 802.11tion).
* 802.11ong cards are compatible with a, b and g networks.
* The g cards can be used with CE 4.2 with an added driver.
Besides CE 4.2 (Windows Mobile 2003) driver, I heard there is
Windows CE 5 (Mobile 5.0/2005) drivers for this Ambicom 54ong
card. Maybe when I get hold of other 802.11ong cards, I might
try and install WM2003 driver and see what happens...
Cheers,
Joseph

Wow! thank you for letting us know. My husband and I are Hams.
So that was
really interesting to learn. I did have some trouble with my
router whenever
I'd use my cordless, so I'm hoping that the dlink router will be
better.
regards,
Sean

Dear Malaina and list:
Here is the 50 ยข explanation of the different types of wireless,
also known as WIFI:
There are presently four kinds:
A. 54 mb/sec on the 5 GHz radio frequencies.
B: 11 MG/sec on 2.4 GHz frequencies
G 54 MB/sec also on 2.4 GHz frequencies
Draft N: something like 104 or more MB/Sec on 2.4 GHz frequencies
I think.
Note that on the 2.4 GHz band, channels 1, 6 and 10 do not
overlap any other channel.
Not sure if any or all 5 GHz channels overlap each other or not.
Draft N is called that because the final spec for it hasn't been
published yet. Due to come out sometime this summer.
I believe the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio frequencies used for Wireless
Internet are shared with cordless telephones as friends with
cordless phones in those ranges report interference between their
telephone and wireless internet.
WIFI A was the first form of wireless connectivity to come out.
Cards for it and routers were originally quite expensive and it
wasn't all that popular. Now most wireless cards for PCs cover
A, B, G and often Draft N. Used to be people used A so their
network was for the most part away from prying eyes and screens.
But now every hacker has an A, B, G and Draft N card in his PC.
OK now you're an expert on wireless Internet.
