Will a CF card extend my wifi speed and range?
I apologise if this has been dealt with before, but I have done a number of searches before asking this question.
I have an x51v and am very happy with it, but wonder if I can improve the speed and particularly the range of wifi reception if I use one of the CF cards.

I am in the UK by the way and have the latest A12 version

many thanks in anticipation
Regards

I have not actually tried this with my X51v, but I noticed when I first got it that the range was much poorer than what I could do with my X5 and iPaq 2215 with a Symbol Wireless Networker, Ambicom WL1100C-CF, or SMC EZ Connect 2642W wifi cards.

One reason I haven't tried (besides the fact that the range I'm getting is fine for my purposes) is that most of these do not have drivers for WM5 and this is something you need to consider if you go this route.
