WLAN Connection speed A716 / Wl500g

Thanks ceesmf!

Much appreciated!
I've done a few enquiries with some Asus dealers in Australia and I am waiting to hear back from them - else I'll try Mycom. I couldn't find a listing for the bare unit on the Mycom site but that doesn't matter too much I guess.
Just making sure...
No built-in battery? Yes?
It can be used as a stand-alone wireless harddrive - no access point required? Yes?
Typically, how are you using yours?
Can you load files and play MP3s directly from it?
My use would be to have a heap of PDFs files on it - 6 to 10GB - to access from it from both desktop and PDA - would this be what it is designed for?

Thanks
Steve

Hi Holo,

no, unfortunetely no battery, and also no space to add one,
Its , at your choice, an AP and bridge at the same time
I even managed to run my tomtom navigator maps from it albeit a little bit slow for that.
I have mesured the start-uptime, but it's less then 10 seconds
I do the same wirh mp3's ' in the neighbourhood of my house I can upload / download files, using the wds link to my asus wl500G, it reconnects automatic when I return in the neighbourhood, you have to give your ipaq a fixed ip and also the wlhdd, although it has it own dhcp server, it will conflict with your regular dhcp server

Thanks again ceesmf!

No luck in Australia :-(
I'll try MyCom.
