[NTLK] WiFi 802.11n

[Tony Douglas]

Hi there


A while ago I wrote a blog post about getting my Newton to talk wirelessly to a mifi mobile hotspot - a fair bit of it is actually about getting wifi to work, so might help ... http://tonyisyourpal.blogspot.com/2010/02/newton-and-e5830-long.html


Main thing is to make sure that
- your wifi hotspot is enabled to do 802.11b (either 802.11b or 802.11b/g mixed modes will do)
- your SSIDs match
- your wifi hotspot is set to OPEN and the right level of WEP for your wireless card
- your WEP keys match


Get those four things right and you shouldn't have any real problems.


- Tony

After I installed all the drivers and did all the set up, my newton said, "No 
response from your current DNS server. Check your internet connection or contact 
the server administrator."  I know my connection is good and that my router is 
compatible.  I contacted my ISP and they said that the DNS is good.  Is there 
something that I forgot? Thanks for the help.

Newt can only do 802.11b and no greater than WEP encryption.  If your  
router can meet these requirements then you should be able to get it  
to work.

If you are looking for setup instructions, try
<http://www.pda-soft.de/body_ethernetconnectivity.html>
read carefully so that you don't install unnecessary drivers.

for wifi driver go to
<http://www.drvlabo.jp/old/eng/newte.htm>
select WaveLAN Driver
then click 'link' to download source code and driver package.
or see <http://www.unna.org/view.php?/drivers/ethernet>
look here <http://www.kallisys.com/> for 'Lantern patch' and 'More  
Wifi' drivers

Good luck

Woody
