Airport questions: Mail & Log-in
Authored by: rpm_computing on Jan 07, '04 02:02:23PM

I am currently using a Belkin Wireless router model F5D6230-3 and belkin F5D6020 wireless PCMCIA network card in a Lombard G3 400 running OSX 10.2.3 with the driver avalable from http://wireless.sourceforge.com and have full access to mail, internet and lan.

I do however experience loss of signal from time to time and is simply resolved by resetting the router either manually or reset during usage with the portable through the 192.x.x.x router utility before the signal drop every few hours. I attempted to get support from belkin and they flat out denyed me of any support due to using the card with OSX. So I am not %100 if it is the card or the router that is dropping the signal but I did also attempt to use the AeroCard driver in os 9 and was not able to obtain a signal so I am assuming there may be something wrong with the router wireless configuration.

Anyway, I am not complaining and am very happy with the cost effective wireless solution provided between Belkin and the sourceforge driver. The router cost $69.00 (no mail in rebates) cdn at a local radio shack which is cheaper than at the belkin web site!
