Ipaq 2755 & Linksys wireless

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

Do you have the Linksys set to G only? The 2755 is an 802.11B device, you at
least have to run in mixed mode on the AP.

The WEP key is effectively your password. If you want to beef it up some
more, you can use mac filtering (which I believe your router can do). You
look up the mac number of your PPC and enter it into one of the "Allowed"
boxes on your router after you have enabled "Mac Filtering" under
"Security."
