Re: Disappointed in Netgear MA701

I got the card configured just fine but I am very disappointed with its range. Basically as soon as I leave the room that my WAP (linksys) is in I start to lose the signal. I have two other wireless PC's in my house and they work fine.

If I put the Axim right next to my laptop it can't pick up the signal that the laptop does even though the AP browser shows 78% signal strength, actually higher than the laptop.

This is basically unusable unless I'm very near the room where my WAP is, any suggestions?

Thanks.
All the replies are pointing the finger at your Netgear CF card, but could it be to do with your Linksys WAP???

Dunno - but might be worth considering that too.
