Did the motorola come with any software or does it expect you to use the wireless config from mickysoft?

[kogepan]

they gave me a disc but the ulilty is connected to the xp connection thing..so pretty much the same thing...i dunno y xp isnt lettin me connect to my home net work..i played around with some settings on the card but made no diff now im back on my usb adaptor which is not runnin at 100% speed!!

I just picked up the WPC1810g, installed, and is working fine, no problem connecting to my Linksys router.

really? i dunno y mine isnt working...maybe it was a default one i am known to have luck like that...either way i returned it just yesterday....i could get it again from another store..but radio shack's service wasnt that great when i took it back

I have the Motorola Router and the PCMCIA card for my laptop and have been using it since last summer with no major issues. The range on the router is not what I expected, but it works at 54 Mbs most of the times(99%).

I think they are a good value at this price, actually I will grab the PCI card for my PC tomorrow .....

[kogepan]

man u guys make me wanna go buy another one and give it another go...but i just dun wanna return it again if it just doesnt work with my network for some strange reason

[Kwirky]

OP: Nice deal, too bad I have wireless stuff piled up all over the place :twisted:

Are you using Windows XP SP2? If you're still on SP1, it would definately be worthwhile to upgrade, as the newer Wireless Config works much better, and supports WPA (which I think might be the key issue here.)

If you've already got SP2, what is it doing when you go to connect? Where is it failing? Does your AP have MAC filtering enabled?

[kogepan]

ido have Sp2 installed...and i used MAC filters i check couple times and the mac address i enter was the correct one from the pci card...anywho it worked for about 10 mins but after that i wont connect again...

the problem is i see the lil antenna thing on the wireless network selection, but it wont let me connect, it doesnt have that halo thing on the antenna icon on my network

i tend to buy things that turns out to be the defalt one. so im guessin this is the same case...

[Out Of Stock]

Thanks OP! I picked up the PCI card and I can connect to my linksys WRT54g no problem! Been playing Guild Wars with it all weekend and the connection didn't drop once. Good deal.

[kogepan]

for the linksys are you guys using wireless router or access point? coz my dlink is a wireless router....

[ikeandtike]

OK, i ain't that familiar with wireless networking...I have a D-Link wireless card and will this router work with it?


And can this travel completely within a house (Basement to another level)?
