Re: [PLUG] wireless router


I thought all PCMCIA antennas were fixed? Could you show an example of a non-fixed antenna?

That leads to another perspective. Is there any equipment that should be *avoided*?

Be wary of PCMCIA wireless cards whose antenna don't pivot (antenna is

to face the laptop so the wireless card is pointed to the base station.
This has been very aggravating for me on many occasions.
