Got my Linksys Access Point and PCMCIA card
all
setup at home last night. Here are my initial
impressions...
Access Point - Nice unit, can be setup via
Ethernet
or USB (you need to use USB to change it's default IP address
though).
Dual removable aerials.
PCMCIA Card - What can I say, pretty ugly
aerial
sticking out.
Range - Disappointing!! I can JUST get
coverage at the extremes of my house, but the AP is placed pretty centrally
upstairs so I though I would have got good coverage everywhere. Any
thoughts of being able to pickup my email at the in-laws across the field
have
now gone! In fairness it does appear that the PCMCIA card is the
problem
rather than the AP. I have read a lot of comments on www.practicallynetworked.com
that
suggest the LinkSys AP couple with a different PCMCIA card will give much
better
range.
I tried with the Laptop, the iPAQ and the Epod
(can
anyone tell me how to see network from the iPAQ??) Of the three
I
think the Epod was the most impressive. Running Terminal Services I
browsed the BBC News site for a good hour and it was an excellent
experience. The combination of wireless and TS turn the Epod into a
near
perfect browsing device.
Pics and review in the future.
