| adapter is a great idea except they are all 54Mbps and my old D-Link router runs at 108

| The 802.11b/g/n also will work on the smartbook. I cannot verify that /n will work though --- my router is only /g.
The 802.11b/g/n usb adapter comes with a mini cd with windows ce 6.0 software. The cost is a bit more then the /g model. |

| Hello everyone.How do you do?
I got a 7" netbook wince 6.0 mainboard WM8505 through a seller , and it's has a problem about Wi-Fi and the seller can't solve me.He told me to send back the netbook to China, but I wouldn't like do it..
So the problem is, when I turn on the Wi-Fi through the WiFi Power in desktop nothing happening (no tray icon, no Wifi).
My Wifi adaptor is a RT2070 from RaLink.Someone can't help?
Thanks |

| Yeah I am having the same issue with my WaBook. I think it somehow got corrupted by a wifi sniffer I uploaded 
By the way, any one recommend a good site to download virus-free applications for WinCe??
Thanks
..and no I am not gonna sniff for Wifi again  |

| Did you try MiniStumbler? (The CE version of NetStumbler )
It works for me.  |

| For CE apps search this forum for posts about RTFM's zipfile. It contains just about every free or shareware app that's known to work on CE5 or 6 (including Sniffi, a wifi sniffer that works quite well even if the interface is a bit odd).
Viruses aren't a problem with CE. |

| You are lucky, you were connected. In my case, I have no success. Tried to DOS mode to see what's in ipconfig and it just wink at me and went back to default display. This chinese netbook I received from a very "popular" internet marketing company is a piece of trash. It doesn't have a name so I can look for an update of its driver.
I guess I got what I paid for...
Umm, some Chinese technology challenging the US?

| CE doesn't have ipconfig. Download vxUtil from cambridgevx.com, it fills in the gap. |

Yes they have...
Run - cmd - ipconfig /all
Show all network adapters and configuration |
|
| |
|
| run ndisconfig command and see if you can rebind the adapter. And see if all registry keys are correct and there is linkage between rt2870 and rt28701

I was using my Chinese CE Netbook last night (is there a preferred acronym for these?), it was working fine, then later I shut it down. I started it up this morning and tried to connect to my wireless AP. It goes through Scanning, Associating etc, then comes back with "Failed to associate with [SSID of router]" then "Not Connected". I've tried it on three APs, same result. Connect fine on a wired connection.
What could the problem be?

| I own a 99 dollar Sylvania netbook, which is essentially the same Chinese netbook. My netbook's wifi failed to connect to my router from time to time. Sylvania created a patch to address this issue. It can be found here http://www.digitalgadgets.com/netbooks/update.html I have downloaded the patch and my wifi has beenworking perfectly since. I hope this helps. |

| I got the $99 Sylvania also; loaded the patch that radek200 mentioned, and it seems better, but it still has problems sometimes. Turning the wifi off and then back on again seems to fix it. |

| Interesting... I see they also have a fill OS update on the site. Wonder what's in it? Would hate to brick my [non sylvania] chibook though...
I dusted mine off the day before yesterday for the first time in a month or so. Got the "failed to associate" thing, which had happened intermittently before, but now was constant. Tried a variety of settings, nothing worked, until I enabled SSID broadcast in my router (it's always been off before with no problem, but this is a new router). Now it works fine, though last night it disconnected after about an hour and wouldn't reconnect until I restarted the machine. |

| There is a Wifi driver update available in the tech support/customer support area of: www.digitalgadgets.com that may fix your Wifi issues.
