Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SPECTEC SDIO Wireless LAN Networking Card WLAN 802.11b, Internet Connection for PDAs, Notebooks and PCs
Customer Review: Works like a charm
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this for the Palm Treo 700w and it works fine. There was a small learning curve on how to use it but it works great now!Customer Review: WiFi CARD FOR PDA.
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to install & allowed me to surf the Internet with my PDA. I have a Garmin GPS iQUE M5. No problems encountered.Customer Review: It works
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this card in my PDA now for about two weeks. Installation was straight forward and card does work as advertised. I am using is with an IPAQ 1940 running v4.2 of pocket PC.
The Good:
-installation was simple
-card recognized with no problem
-it has expected range for something so small - and in general I think the range is very good
-works everywhere I have tried - my home network, public hotspots, etc.
The Not So Good:
-using activesync can be hit and miss - sometimes when I plug in it works and sometimes I need to eject the WAN card and reboot the IPAQ - I can't say I have spent too much time getting to the bottom of this and the workaround is not too much trouble
-I do find myself resetting the IPAQ more often then before the card, but this is not because the system has crashed but because it has stopped recognizing the WAN card - again, I have not spent much time troubleshooting this and I do not find it that much of a problem, just a little inconvenient
My final thoughts on this are that it works great, it's not perfect, but I paid about $20 for it and it was way cheaper than buying a new IPAQ with built in wireless networking.
Customer Review: at first..
Summary: 4 Stars
At first I was a little frustrated with it, because a my wireless router has a password , and even though I was entering it correctly on the PDA, the Spectec wouldn't connect.
If you have this problem, try matching the security settings on the PDA to the settings on the wireless router? This worked for me, eventually. Don't seem to have this problem for free WiFi areas.
Customer Review: Good Stuff, some flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
The card works fine on my i-mate Jam, but I wont give 5 stars due to:
- If you leave the radio ON, it will drain your battery in a few hours
- Software hangs up from time to time. Windows reset required.
- Signal is not strong as I would like.
price/benefit is good, I recommend the item.
