If you get a PDA, don't get an IPAQ 5054

I've got a Linksys 54G WAP and an IPAQ 5054. They won't talk!

HP blames Linksys and Linksys blames HP. Neither organisation will talk to
=
the other so I have =A3650 of kit that won't communicate and neither of
the=
manufacuturers will address the problem! :-((((

Cheers

Thanks Nick, Good call but the router is also a 4 port 10/100MB switch
and I want to keep the switch in my office. I did experiment when I
first got the router and to be honest I couldn't find an optimal place
to give the range of coverage I would like.

As an aside, does the "power" of the receiver have anything to do
with
received signal strength? I only have a laptop with built in Wifi. If I
got say a PDA with a WIfi card might this have better reception?

Ta!

Don
