Compatibility questions

I have a D-Link DI-614+ wireless broadband router and would like to
purchase an inexpensive PC card for my laptop that will take advantage
of the 22Mbps capabilities of the DI-614+. Do I have to buy a D-Link
AirPlus card, or will something like a Netgear HA501 communicate with
the router at 22Mbps? Are there any cards I should definitely stay
away from?

Please send replies to detroit54.TakeThisOut@adelphia.net

Thanks,

Dan

My condolences. (I have one also)

Several cards appear to support 22 Mbps, but it's not clear that they're
all using the same standard to do so. I'd expect they are, but I wouldn't
bet any money on it! ;^)

Check out the results at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=22mbps+wireless" target="_blank">http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=22mbps+wireless</a>
and see for yourself.

I would have said "D-Link", but you're already trying to avoid them... )
