I just got myself a wireless router (YAY!) and i'm looking at getting my ipaq 3850 with WM2003 to use wifi, what is a good cheap (affordable) wifi card to use with ipaq? can't seem to find any out in NZ at all...

I got my laptop working on wifi, sweet. I plan to get another ipaq but in the meantime i will try to get more life out of my current ipaq as much as i can. (planning to get hx4750)...



Also, is DLink's DI-524 a good wifi router? works fine for me for now...

Check the Sandisk Wireless SDIO Card or the CF model on Ascent. There are a few models: Wi-Fi SD card, Wi-Fi SD card with 256MB flash and the Wi-Fi CF card with 128MB flash.

yeah that looks good. but $200.. will be a while before i'm getting it.

How about the CF bluetooth card? DSE has one, is it ok to use that?


Mauricio, does any of your online "shop" give any discount to hardware purchase like CF wifi, CF bluetooth, Bluetooth dongle, or memory cards?

The CF Bluetooth should work - but the problem is the lack of Bluetooth software - you'll need the drivers and unless it comes with the package you'll not find them easily.

Nope, we don't have any hardware affiliate - there's the Pricegrabber but it's mainly for US price comparison.
