Wi-Fi 802.11b vs 802.11k on axim x50v - help

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

As a guess, you are trading speed for the ability to connect. A pre-N wi-fi
router may help. The farther you get from the unit, (or the more noise you
have) the slower it will work. Changing channels may help, or changing
locations may help also.
