Proabably this one

It runs at 11. In my experience (3com), the bandwith changed as you got further away. I believe it went from 11 to 5.5 to 2. The 2 is really sucky. 5.5 is decent, and so is 11. The only prob is that encryption slows it down a ton. Almost unuseable at 2 w/ encryption on.

Hey jason, where are you located? You might want to change your offset hours if you are across the date line, as I'm actually posting before you...

Almost all the new stuff is 11mpbs. Actually, that's 11mbps if you are close to the access point. As was previously mentioned, the further away you are, the slower it gets - 11, then 5.5, then 2, then 1mbps. Still not too bad if you are just sharing broadband.

I've got a Linksys setup on my laptop, and I've never seen it drop in speed - seems like it will just lose connection before it bothers slowing down...

That's rated at 11mbps, however at BEST it'll get about 4-6mbps. We're talking RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

The dell one is an Orinoco RG1000 with the name changed.

What kind of access point will work with it???? How fast is this could be 2Mbps or 11Mbps????

thanks in advance.

It'll work with any 802.11 WAP. It's 11Mb (although, as mentioned above, slower and slower the further away you are or the more interference there is).
