I am a new Axim X3i owner and I think I am having problems with my WiFi web browsing. My question is, how fast should internet browsing be with a strong WiFi connection through my residential cable modem and Netgear MR814 Access Point / Router?
My desktop computer is hooked up via Ethernet cable to the router and is as fast as lightning, but my Axim seems to be slow as Christmas. I can actually take up to 2 minutes to find and load a web page when I click on one in my Favorites folder. This seems ridiculous for any computer, big or small, that has an 11 Mbps connection and a 400 MHz processor.
Are there any settings I need to change on my Axim or on my Netgear Access Point / Router?
Thank you for any suggestions you may have.

Expect the pages to render more slowly on your PPC than your desktop. Since your desktop is most likely running more than 400MHz and much more RAM pages will render faster plus you are wired connected where depending on your ethernet card you are connected to your router at either 10MB/sec or 100MB/sec consistently.
Even though 802.11B advertises that it can achieve speeds up to 11MB/sec but most of the time you are not really running at 11MB/sec from my experience. However, it does not take me 2 minutes to get a web page on my PPC.
