It has been almost two years since the WiFi Guide and FAQ were made available here on Aximsite. I've tried to keep them up to date (for example, both the WM03 and WM03SE sections were added as these OSes became available) but I'm sure there are many things that should be changed since there have been so many changes to WiFi in those two years. Also, I suspect many of the 'old timers' probably haven't looked at these pages in a long time and, since the original thread was moved to the Tips and Tricks Threads section, newbies may not be aware they even exist (at least until one of us points them to it).

So, this is a "Request for Comments" and a way of creating a link to the Guide and FAQ from the Wireless forum.

I'll make this a sticky so it stays near the top of the forum but I'm going to lock it, so please post any suggestions on the original thread or PM me.
