Is there a list of wireless routers that will work with the Clie WL-100?
I did a search for it and nobody really has a list of what will work.

So if possible, if anybody out there has successfully connected to a wireless router/hub/switch (please specify if you can hotsync also), would you please reply to the post in the Wireless Forum.

I'll try to get a list running and update it as much as possible.

Also, can the administrators of the forum set it up where this thread stays on top (kinda like a sticky).

Please note...I would prefer to only list routers/hubs/switch that will work with the PEGA WL100 only and not bluetooth. One list at a time. Hehehehehe.

Anyway, let me start off first:

Cisco Aironet AP350.
Not working
Have Cisco engineers looking into it.
Cisco base station sees the mad address of the WL-100 but cannot ping it.
Clie gets connected but will not browse (network timed out).
If solution found by Cisco engineers, I'll post the solution.

I believe that card is Wi-Fi certified so it should work with any 802.11b compliant router or WAP.

Nope....not really.

Having trouble with the Cisco Aironet 350 router.

Theoretically....they should work...but from reading the number of posts of the difficulty that others have with their wireless routers/hubs/switches, it's obvious that not all wireless devices work well with the PEGA-WL100.

Also, probably because of the sony web software (netfront) and the driver for the WL-100...doesn't make it any easier.

Anyway, that's my point of view. As of right now, you're the only who have answered my post. Probably means I'm a dumbass! Hehehehehehe.

But thanks for taking the time to answer my post. Just hoping that others will also so that I'm not too much of a dumbass!

Hehehehehehee

I'll add some info on Linksys products as soon as I'm done testing.

To Gizmo:
Well it might be true with 802.11b but there are a lot of g-devices coming which should be compatible with WL100 too. At least I hope so ~

No problem, modem-man. And no, you are not a dumba@@. I think you are probably right about the drivers being part of the problem. I checked and the Sony website claims the card is certified so it's likely that something else is amiss. Good luck finding the answer. :)

I'm with you on that, Marty. There are in fact many devices out now that claim to g compliant. Problem is, the spec hasn't even been ratified yet. The manufacturers say they will have a flash upgrade to make sure it's compatible, but there are no guarantees. We can only hope. :)

Please go to the wireless forum to see list of wireless routers that works and those that don't.

Netgear MR314 -> just upgrade the firmware from 3.23 to 3.29 (available from the netgear website)

I dont have an NX or the WL100 but I do use a Linksys .11b router and that should work with the WL100
