    Recomend me a wireless card

    As the title says. This is for work and we will probably buy a few for several people.

    We don't have wirless in the office, this is just for poeple that are out and about so they can get internet access (and access to their Exchange Webmail).

    Is a/b/g recomended, or just b/g?

    thanks

    Just G, nothing else is worth while I reckon.

    I assume the people out and about are going to be using them in things like airports, cafes with wifi, public wifi hotspots in general? If thats correct, then yeah, you just need a few 802.11G cards, you might want to get ones that are both b and g if you're going for publics, since some of them may be B, but I don't imagine too many of them would be.

    cool, thats kinda what i was thinking. Yeah it will be in hotspot areas such as hotels and aitports etc. If it was up to me they wouldn't be getting them, but one of our sales guys recons he "needs to be in permenant contact". pft!! is what i say. He's a bit up his own arse anyway.

    One of the Scan guys was recomending Edimax gear in another thread, I'm liking their price for the Edimax EW-7108PCG 54Mbps Wireless PC CARD

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=152538

    £12.39 ex VAT

    I use the Edimax EW-7108PCG 54Mbps and the USB dongle version, both are fantastic performers and I have no problems at all. So personally I recommend the above
