Seems like everybody has a WL100 now...

[akfreas]

I have seen an uproar of browser related threads, and I was thinking that everyone rushed out for that deal at Best Buy.

Anyway...

Does anyone know of the speed differences between WL100 and WL110? I have not found anything on the internet. Are FCC white papers published, because I know that it just got FCC approval like last week.

I don't know if the new card will be better, the published specs on range are half the WL100.

I have had my WL100 for awhile now. I want what I want when I want it! Price usually doesn't factor in, not smart, but so what :D!

Hi Larry!

Yep, I'm the same way. Gotta have it yesterday, will I ever grow up hi-hi.

BTW, I helped a couple of people here at cliesource get one for the Best Buy price. I wasn't looking to make a dime on them (I had two extra ones) so at least I was able to make someone's day.

Got mine yesterday too. I don't even have a wifi at home but for $17 how could i not pick one up?

[rldunn]

I got mine 3 weeks ago for $75 and love it!!

I had gotten one for $80 a month ago.. (actually $130 because I never sent off the rebate, I wanted to try it first) I returned it a few days ago because I was having trouble getting it to work on campus at NC State University. Hotsyncing wirelessly at home just wasn't worth $80 to me. Saw the deal here, ran and got one immediately. For $17 I'll find a use for it at home.. even if it's just VPN.

Icing on the cake? Tonight I got it working with the network at NCSU. Almost the whole campus is covered, and they are constantly expanding the access. I am so happy! :D

I am soooo jealous...oh well, one day.

I don't have one, and I probably won't be able to get one. Thanks to having to pay state taxes and truck insurance around the same time, I'm too broke to get anything. I wish I could get it though.

Use your plastic! When I need more, I get more plastic :)!

This doesn't sound right unless it uses less power...

Thanks to ashVID's $16.99 ....
appreciate it, thank you!

[cab]

thanks for the tip!

Well, I purchased a card on 31-Mar-2003 for full price ($149) and didn't like the fact that I couldn't connect here at work because of VPN issues, so on 7-Apr-2003, I returned it. AAAAAHHHRRRGGGHHH!!!!! I would have gone back for a price match to get the difference just to use it at home for $17.00!

Oh well. I guess i'm just not meant to have one!!!

Sounds dated but looks like they read the FCC specs, which should be official.

According to this article the differences are:

110 - made by Sony
100 - made by Symbol Technologies

110 - Two indicator lights
100 - one indicator light

110 - 200 feet indoors or 500 feet outdoors
100 - 300 feet indoors or 1000 feet outdoors


That's all folks,

I like the range of the old one. No joke from sitting inside my house on the couch in my living room I can pick up the AP of the guy across the street. That kind of range will come in handy when there is finally a netstumbler type app for palm.

[jshap999]

sold out everywhere. Thats what I get for being sick and not watching cliesource :(

[cbulock]

I would have liked to purchase one, but unfortanalty I didn't catch the deal soon enough.

[Nogib]

Yeah, it's the typical retards buying multiples when they have no use for them. People like us only want one for our units but get screwed over by the trolls.

[FireHouse]

So eager to purchase one (maybe two...), but got no chance... for I'm so far away in Taiwan. :(

[legion]

Yeah I got the WL100 at BB because of the degraded range of the WL110 and I thought it was downgraded to 100 feet on the WL110
