WIFI with XDA II mini

[DOP]

hi guys,

i just bought an XDA II mini, and i heard there are a lot of problems with wireless lan, so im confused, can i use the sandsick wifi card with that phone and access the internet ? does it work well or do i have to trick somethign ? and what kind of card does work ? thank you for the help.

should be possible of cause you need something to connect to
so you need a wifi router or have access to a wifi hotspot somewhere

My MDA Compact works perfectly well with the SanDisk Wifi with 256Mb memory. I didn't experience any problems, except setting it up! :lol: But now I know what to do, its perfect.

ah ok, so wifi and wireless lan are the same but ? meaning as long as theres a wireless lan internet hotspot around, i can use it right ?

[chumkila]

yep you got it in one. :D

[Rudegar]

well if the hotspot let you
if it's a private wifi network then unly if they dident make it secure
and if it public hotspot they may want to charge you for using it

yeah i know that, how bout security keys ? can the card handle 64/128 bit encryption when i know the key ?

[Rudegar]

looking at sandisks site would give the answer to that question i think

i got the card, and it was installed fine, also fins my wireless network, but i cant sue internet explorer, it always says i have no connection, and under modem settings i cannot choose wireless, only dial in or bluetooth/gprs settings :(

[Rudegar]

if you mean surf and not sue
then try choosing the connection
under advanced when you want to suft using wifi
you have to sellect that connection insted of the GPRS which is the std connection picked there

i tried that, but then in the modem settings there is no wifi option to choose, only gprs, bluetooth and a few others :(
