Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SPECTEC SDIO Wireless LAN Networking Card WLAN 802.11b, Internet Connection for PDAs, Notebooks and PCs
Customer Review: Works quite well with HP iPAQ rz-1715
Summary: 5 Stars
While I have only had this for a few hours, I am very pleased with this product. It only took about five minutes to install the software, and perhaps 10 minutes to connect it to both of my wireless networks. I did have a little problem with entering a manual 128 bit WEP key, as the entry box would "time out" before I had a chance to enter all of the characters. Entering the key manually in the connection setup solved this problem in short order.
I ordered the SDW-820 over the faster SDW-821 for a couple of reasons. The iPAQ rz-1715 is not the fastest hand-held PC, and my Internet connection is far slower than 802.11b, so going any faster is really not worth it. I suppose if I wanted to stream video on my local LAN the '821 might have been worth it, but who does that with an iPAQ rz-1715?
I am VERY pleased with the delivery time. It was ordered on Thursday and arrived on Monday. This is stellar service in my book! I will not hesitate to use buyGPSnow.com in the future.
Customer Review: Works perfectly with old HP IPAQ 1940
Summary: 5 Stars
I figured this $35 card was worth the price if it turned my 5+ year old HP IPAQ 1940 PDA into a free wireless device. The SDIO interface worked perfectly and the software installed on my Windows Mobile 2003 device without error. It found my WEP secured home wireless signal and quickly connected after I entered the security code. It has also functioned well around town at various coffee houses with unsecured wireless. The biggest challenge was that I had to do a bit of fiddling around to install a decent web browser (Opera 4.2) on it since the old IE was pretty outdated. Various web sites helped me in this regard. Overall, this card did exactly what I wanted it to do.Customer Review: Works better than EVDO for PALM TREO 700 WX
Summary: 5 Stars
The Spectec SDIO card is simply superb. I have sprint palm treo 700wx, and i had used their data plan for $25/month...I always thought that this is too much, so I bought this WIFI card for the first time for $33 (with shipping).. from BUYGPSNOW.. they sell the cheapest and the best card out there...
I got the installation cd..provided by the seller, i installed it, and i was good to go. The battery usage is the same as if I had used the EVDO technology from sprint.. I believe SPECTEC consumes the least energy, is the most reliable, cheapest WIFI card... and yeah.. also the smallest.. just a little bit longer than my sandisk sd memory card...
Customer Review: Great SDIO wireless card.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card for my NAVMAN Mio 168 PDA with built in GPS. The documentation is a little lacking, but the software installed without a hitch. After installing the software, I pluggged in the card and it found my wireless network. I entered my WEP code and was connected. That simple! It is the slower "b" standard, but the price is right. It is also very small. It sticks out less that 1/4 inch so I don't have to worry about it getting in the way. Surfing the net is a little difficult on the PDA because of the small screen, but it is gerat for e-mail. I can now check my e-mail anywhere there is a wifi hot-spot. I would recommend this product.Customer Review: RoadWarrior Connectivity Item
Summary: 5 Stars
The Spected Sdio Wireless Lan Networking Adapter is a accesory that you should have if your are a satisfied pocketpc enabled pda or mobile. Is complaint with most of the standards in the industry and also is easy to install.
I comes with the drivers and also the price is very cheap. You will enjoy several hours of free wireless internet access and it saves a lot of money, in the data packages from the actual internet provided by the wireless carriers (like verizon or others).
In conclusion, if you purchase this item you will have a increase in productivity and connectivity with your friends, co-workers and family.
