pega-wl100 / wl110

[STRETCH]

where is the best place to purchase a wireless lan card for my nx80v.

[meir87]

i think the cheapest is newegg $120 for the wl110. I got my wl100 a while ago for $99.

[STRETCH]

whats the difference between them, wl100 is wireless b ?, wl110 is wireless g? . the range should still be the same right?
Thanks

[meir87]

The difference is that the 100 is really an intel (so it can be used in your laptop as well) and the 110 is completely sony. The distance should be about the same but somepeople claim that the 100 give a little more. Also, they are both 802.11b.

[harryleung]

ebay sometime has some good price.....

[cliemia]

According to the specs on the Sony website, the WL100 has a longer range. You can always get a WL110 on Ebay for around $110. The WL100's (discontinued by Sony), are less frequenly there.

[mathwhiz99atucb]

Also check your local BestBuy. Since BestBuy has stopped selling Clié handhelds in the store, there is little need to sell accessories for them in the stores either (besides the NX and NZ series are discontinued anyways). Thus you can get the accessories at Bargain Basement Blowout(tm) prices.

I got my WL110 at BestBuy for $80 plus tax (retail $150 plus tax). If you do decide to go this route, don't bother calling ahead to the store you want to visit because with all likelihood the sales associate will not know what you are asking about (this was my experience and I called 3 different stores in my area). Just go into the store. Do hurry though, I got the last one at the store I went to.

You will not be disappointed in going wireless with your Clié. I love being able to browse the 'Net and watch the NBA playoffs on my couch. Best of luck to you. :)

That is nice! I'm thinking of exchanging my WL110 for the WL100 advertised there now :)

[anitanium]

i got mine for 70shipped
and since i'm in canada, i think thats a good deal

but that game controller for 15 is a steal
could work wtih BoR...

[sniper4hir]

I have tried every day for the last 3 weeks on sonystyle, and the cart keeps coming up empty.

[docholliday]

Mine works...

I just bought WL110 for $85, Paul

[cat_taylor]

OK, here's a dumb question. I have a home network with a router and even have my Tivo hooked up to it. It ain't broke so I haven't fixed it... but I have been curious about adding a wireless network to use with both my HP laptop and Clie. Any thoughts? What about security?

Cat

PS Yes I know this isn't a home networking forum, I just thought I'd ask before spending any more money.

The Circuit City by my house has about 4 WL110's on clearance for $22.50 each...

A lot of these seem to be showing up. My local Best Buy had 2 on the shelf last night. $29.95 apiece. They only have one now... :)

I'm in Houston, BTW

[Emily0724]

Would either of you who live where they are selling these on clearance be willing to buy it and ship it to me? I would of course pay for shipping costs, etc.

You guys could go into business.
;)
If you do... let me know and I'll buy one too.

Just went back yesterday to the store. Appears the price went up $7 to $29.50, and there was one less left. There are actually 3 WL100's and 1 WL110 (my original count was wrong). I wonder if I should buy 'em and sell 'em here (for a small profit)?

[Emily0724]

I would definitely buy one if you would like to do that!

Let me know....

[Matt_NX_70]

It was previously mentioned on this thread that the WL100 was intel hardware, would it be possible to get an intel WiFi CF card and use it in my NX70 as the WL100 costs £120 GBP here in the UK!

[meir87]

You would need to find specifically the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN CF Card.

[Emily0724]

Would you need drivers to make the Intel card work? If so, where could I get them. I found one for sale on e-bay, but it ends in 4 hours so a quick reply would be appreciated!

Also, any update on buying the clearance cards and selling them here?

[meir87]

It would just need the same driver as the wl100.

[Phalanx]

So if I picked up 2 or 3 of the WL100s this weekend, who would buy them and for what price? Maybe I should put them on eBay with a reasonable BuyItNow price?

[Emily0724]

http://semsons.com/hagmemwirlan.html

Is this compatible with the NX80V? The description only has the 60 and 70 listed.

[Emily0724]

I would buy one from you for $40 plus the actual cost of shipping (not to exceed $50 total because shipping really can't be that much!). Not a bad profit, eh? I would be happy to purchase on e-bay with buy-it-now...send me a link. Anyway you could pick them up before the weekend?

[jmsiu]

I am interested Too. Will you ship to Latin America?

[meir87]

Is this compatible with the NX80V? The description only has the 60 and 70 listed.

I think the reason they don't list it as compatible with the 73/80 is because you would have that thing sticking out the side of your clie.

[syzlak]

Count me in if anyone is trying to buy/sell some PEGA-WL100's or 110's for a quick profit. I would buy one at the general price point discussed here.

[cat_taylor]

Count me in too, if they have enough.

[Kahuna]

I've found a WL 110 at Expansys Webshop. 188,-€ :(

[kenken325]

So if I picked up 2 or 3 of the WL100s this weekend, who would buy them and for what price? Maybe I should put them on eBay with a reasonable BuyItNow price?

i'd love to get one too if you're willing to ship to Vancouver BC CANADA. i have no idea where i can get one here :(

if you do please sent me a link to your buyitnow on ebay ;) thanks!

But when plugged to a laptop, where can i get softwares or drivers to use it?

[treffmeister]

whoa Kahuna! That's expensive! Ich spreche kein Deutsche, but that's around 250DM/AUD$ is it not!

[Kahuna]

Yahoo (http://de.finance.yahoo.com/m5?a=188&s=EUR&t=AUD) tells it is 323,32AUD :eek:
I think iv'e been robbed :mad:
But my NX73V was only 250€ (429,95 AUD) :D

[treffmeister]

get a refund

Did you decide to pick these up? What's the status? I'm itching to get one, but I haven't had much luck finding one at a decent price!

Thanks!

I have the WL100 configured to work with my Linksys WAP54G wireless access point on my home network. The WL100 supports WEP 128bit security.
The WAP54G does support the newer WAP protocol, but the Clie doesn't.
It works great in my house.

Hi guys. Not dead. But sorry, I've been really busy with school and work this last week. No, I haven't picked them up. Will try to get it in this weekend. I'll let you know if they still have more. I'll still be posting right here. Stay tuned.

[treffmeister]

Um slightly off-topic, but I'm buying a WL100 for US$50 incl postage from a user at this forum. I live in Australia as shown to the left. I have an issue in that it is proving nigh on impossible to transfer funds: My online banking transfer seems not to support American Banks, (NetBank for you Aussies) and I am unsure of any alternate methods of transfer. Could anyone who has experienced this before lend a hand? Thanks.
(I'm looking for a BSB number of my friend's American bank if that helps you out)
(If I can't get this working I may pitch in to buy one of the above cards)

[NX60 owner]

Hey treffmeister - $50 is a good price! I just paid $89 for a WL110. You might look into doing a postal money order through the US Postal Service - I did some work for a company in Japan (I'm in the US), and they paid me this way. I don't know how hard it is to set up on your end, but I went into my local post office and picked up my payment on this end pretty easily - you might look into it or ask the person who's selling the card if they're open to that... the Web site is www.usps.gov (in the US, at least)
Hope this helps,
-Dan

[treffmeister]

okay thanks. I'll give it a go.

[chepeliyas]

I need a wl100 too!!!!

[purpleice]

ok seems sony is out any where else to buy the card at a good price???

[Jordandhs]

wut the hell i thought is like 60bux on ebay is it??

[chepeliyas]

Where can I get the PEGA-WL110 or PEGA-WL100 now? Not Ebay, please.

[purpleice]

[cat_taylor]

Sorry that I don't have a profile yet, but when I get a chance...

Anyways, I just bought a NOS NX80V and also went through the same dilemma trying to find a Wi-Fi CF card. After checking out a post on this forum I went ahead and bought the Memory Stick Wireless LAN card (P/N HNT-MSW1) by Hagiwara. It works great, no problems with setup, etc. and the range is good too. It does stick out of the side and I have to remove it before putting the Clie away, but I highly doubt that you guys leave in your CF cards all the time so it should not be a problem. I intially would rather have had one of the Sony CF cards but am happy with the one from Hagiwara. It's also a lot smaller and easier to pack with the rest of my memory sticks.

Just my .02...

[WVOz1970]

Looks like supply and demand is at it's finest :rolleyes:

I'm seeing WL100s on eBay in the $80-$100 range. One was even used. I've been considering selling my NX80 and switching back to a Palm branded device... was going to sell the whole thing as a package, but if WL100s are going for those kind of prices, I may have to sell it separately! :D

[purpleice]

thanks a lot! not... Just interested in lan card - notmemory since I use that slot so much any other ideas of where to get one???

[chepeliyas]

The wlan cards are gone, I dont want to buy them at ebay, and it seems like in every brick and mortar store is sold out!!

[kenken325]

i finally got myself a PEGA-WL100 :D

i contact a buyer on ebay regarding how much shipping to Vancouver BC, he said he can sell it to me w/ shipping $115 flat 2 days fedex shipping

finally got it (private sale not thru ebay) he just ship me the LAN card....it's refurbish and got packed in a big brown box w/ sony stickers on the top sealed...i've checked nothing being missed just that all stuff are in pretty much brand new condiction

i heard him mentioning that he still got 2 left (both r refurbished) he lives in Chicago area i think

[purpleice]

do you have his contact info??

[NX60 Owner]

If you're in the US, you can try Best Buy and Circuit City stores - I got a WL110 about three weeks ago at Circuit City - for $79 (new). They had a bunch of other CLIE stuff on clearance, too. I also got the stylus 3-pack for $4.99, the belkin leather case for $7.99, and the belkin car/USB charger/synch cable for $3.99! Staples also had some CLIE stuff on clearance, but I didn't see the WL100/110 there. It seems like the clearance prices vary from store to store within a chain, too... but it's worth a trip for some great deal$ if you're looking to accessorize your CLIE.
Hope this helps,
