Some wi-fi point questions

[Pdaman]

Do you have problems with this wi-fi/lan access point http://www.mobileplanet.com/private/palmgear/product.asp?pdept%5Fid=900006&cat%5Fid=1301&cat%5Fname=Accessories&dept%5Fid=5040&pf%5Fid=MP580310&listing=1 when you are browsing through this and using clie th55 device as your internet browser, so if you have please tell me, becose this is my birthday gift if someone don't warn about problems...

And if you don't have anything or you have, can you tell me how far will clie th55 wlan fly for example 50 meters...

I have that item at home and use it all the time to check certain websites for new replies. There are also many local wifi access points that use this router to great success. As for the distance, it will depend on what is between you and the router. I have been close to 150 feet (roughly 50 meters) from the access point and still gotten a good signal.

Did you have POWER SAVE MODE on when you got good signal from 50 meters away ?

[Deckyon]

I've never used the PowerSave mode. Mostly because I have not seen a huge need for using it. I do not sit in the coffee house for hours on end (no time) and at home, most of my surfing is done on my desktop or laptop. I use my wireless at home to do hotsyncs and get my email in the mornings before work.

I guess if you are going to sit in a wifi hotspot for 6 or 7 hours, sit close to the router and use powersave mode. I have gone (in testing) about 5 hours in surfing mode before I got my first battery warning. Just depends on what you are doing.

Would be bossible that clie th55 wlan would be fly about 200 meters and trought some houses and i could get some signal to go internet with my th55 ? (i don't need strong signal)

My idea would be nice...
My idea is that i should buy wi-fi point to my computer and go internet in my school what is about 200 meters away from my house...

I can access anywhere in the house but it tails off towards the garden.

I'm thinking of getting another WAP and slaving it to my existing one to extend the range... :)

In your case of trying to nick 'net time from your school, 200m+obstacles is quite a stretch. You'd probably need some sort of high-gain antenna for your own WAP (Pringles!) because I doubt they'd let you add more bridges to extend the range on their side :)
