I currently have 2 desktops and one laptop linked to my home DSL router, which is a Linksys BEFSR41. I now have the Axim and bought the WiFi card to go with it and would like to add wireless to my home. What would be my best way of going about this.
I have also recently ordered another Axim for my wife, although I had to get her the 300 so it wouldn't be as good as mine, LOL. So I will want to be able to link both of those wirelessly if needed.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
And BTW, thanks for the great website and message board. I just can't seem to learn enough in here.

You could just buy a wireless access point since you already have a router. You'll just need to setup the access point on your network.

Agreed. Just plug the access point into the existing router, set it up for DHCP, and then configure your WiFI card in your Axim the same way. Voila. I'd even stick a WiFi card in that laptop too.

I checked the prices on the access points and they are pretty high. I saw a 4 port wireless router and was wondering if I could just buy another one of those and plug it in. It was a lot cheaper. Will it's signal strenght be just as good as an access point?
Thanks for the help so far.

If it's cheaper, you could buy a 4 port wireless router. Just don't configure it as a DHCP server and connect it to your existing network using one of the switch ports, not the WAN port. Then you'll just be using it as a wireless access point w/ 4 switch ports. You could connect it to your network using the WAN port, but then you're going to have to do a little configuring on the routers, so they know how to get to each others network.
