I am not Joseph but will be able to answer the questions about the range of the different wireless revisions.
Wireless A, 30 feet (10 meters) Wireless B, 100 feet (30 meters) Wireless G, 300 feet (100 meters) Note: The range for the three above mention wireless specifications can be increased or decreased due to interference or the use of range extenders. I did not mention Wireless N and the other specifications that are in the works due to them not being supported on the BrailleNote family of products. The mPower will be able to take advantage of the increased transfer rate and range of Wireless G when KeySoft 7.5. Build 29 is released while the Classic and PK will be able to use Wireless A and B.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Sean Ray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 8:45 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] different types of wireless 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...
