XDA II with Sandisk SD Wifi transfer rate

Sandisk SD wi-fi card is quite easy to be installed on my xda II. However, I can only connect to my buffalo G54 access point (802.11b/g) with only 1Mb/s (shown in the wi-fi network status) even 1 feet away from the access point
Supposingly, it can have 11Mb/s????
Do I need to set my XDA II or my access point

I have the XDA II and sandisk WiFi, it connects at 11, but the SDIO throughput is not even 256kbs so why bother about it connecting at 1Mb??

It's very slow on mine too.

Wifi from SanDisk ?
Lucky guy . Whe did you buy SD Wifi card ? I cannot buy it in my country .

Having a mare getting the SanDisk to work... Please help
Hi,
It looks like a few of you have managed to get the SanDisk to work in your XDA2...
I'm trying to get mine to work in the following configuration:
Peer to Peer Wireless Lan
Laptop running Win2k Server
Wireless PC Card - Belkin 54g
Fixed IP Address on both Laptop and XDA
I can see the network name on the SanDisk Configuration, so it has found the laptops network, but I can't ping from the SanDisk utility nor generate any activity. The ping returns not found... 100% packet loss.
It isn't trying to go out over GPRS, so I'm happy with the network setup, I think.. :?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated...
Thanks
Richard

Has anyone heard about a problem the SanDisk SD WiFi card has, on XDA2, connecting to a combo 802.11b/g router? Don't know if it's on the router end or SanDisk end? Apparently, if it's only a 802.11b router, there's not a problem.
I'm ready to get a home wireless router in the next couple of weeks and am trying to decide whether a 802.11b/g combo or just a 802.11b
Thanks

SanDisk WiFi performance
plandregan,
where did you get figures on the sandisk wi-fi performance? did you measure it somehow? if yes - please kindly point me to the tool (I wish I had `ttcp' for PPC2003, but did not find any). I was trying to use xda-ii as wireless mp3 player and failed - all mp3s do 'click' as if there was not enough bandwidth.

Sandisk CF Wi-Fi card in backpack

I am still having troubles getting my XDA II's (running Windows Pocket PC 2003) Sandisk Cf Wi-Fi card to do anything more than just blink. I have given up on using it with my D-Link DWL-900 AP+ access point, and now resurrected an old Airport running at 11 Mbps. The Sandisk card works fine in my notebook with both access points.
Yes, I have asked Sandisk what gives ... but no reply to date. Trouble is, I don't see the things that Sandisk's Pocket PC Troubleshooting guide (which comes on the CD-ROM from them) says I should, e.g., a Wi-Fi singal icon.
I don't think its WEP/SSID issues ... just plain old hardware connectivity coupled with the seemingly weak software from Sandisk.
I sure would appreciate some advice.
Ciao,

Try the socket drivers. It is the same card as the Sandisk but I find their driver much better. Works well for me never had any issues connecting anywhere. Socket Driver, Sandisk Card. Just make sure you get rid of ALL of the Sandisk driver from your XDAII.
I have a SD card but you might want to try for the CF.

Also has some very good pdf manuals not like the nothing for the sandisk.
Good Luck

Thanks for this ... I FTP'd the Sockets driver over from the UK and installed ... Yes, I get a blinking green light. So now it is a matter of setting up the Access Point(s) to suit the Sandisk CF Wi-Fi card in the XDA II. As I said, it works no problems with both my APs in my notebook, so I will get there.
I had a dreadfully incorrect reply from Sandisk technical help ... so much so that I will now buy another brand (Sockets) and trash the Sandisk.
I'll keep you posted. :!:

For what it's worth, I use the Dell TruMobile CF WiFi card in my backpack and find it works very well. Also like the bundled access software, was easy to install and find it easy to use.

Perhaps you could let me know if there are any particular settings on the Access Point that the CF card favours:
Does it work with 802.11 b/g APs set to AUTO (I know it is only an 11 Mbps card)
SSID - on/off
WEP - on/off
MAC - on/off
Any other advice on settings?
