[NTLK] Ethernet Wifi Adapter Thoughts

[SteveCraft]

I got some feedback from a D-Link staffer, he recommended a DAP-2553. The
average price is $150, which seems a little high. I'm out of time to look
now, maybe some more next weekend.

Subject: [NTLK] Ethernet Wifi Adapter Thoughts

So I finally spent some time looking around for a "wireless game adapter",
aka "wireless ethernet bridge". I think that using a wired Ethernet card in
a Newton/eMate and connecting that to a different device will let me get on
wirelessly with the latest protocols, at a cost of physical portability.

 

Anyway, I think the D-Link DWL G820 will do the job because its data sheet
specifies that it has telnet-based management/configuration, not requiring
browser capability that is beyond what a Newt can normally handle.

 

Can anyone else recommend any other adapter?

 

Can anyone make any comments on D-Link product quality? 

 

I would like to find something cheaper as well, I have seen some here:

&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=

 

 

Thanks.
