Hi, Jim. You might want to try comp usa and get another adapter. Comp usa
makes their own and dazzle makes a good one. There might even be another
brand there.I think I am using the comp usa pcmcia adapter as the dazzle
one was a bit loose. when plugging in the card to the adapter.

Hi Jeff,
My particular PCMCIA adapter doesn't work with my wireless card. I get a
much better and consistent connection from the card slot.
My router is in the basement and I'm still able to use it throughout my
house. I do have a cordless phone or two which interferes with my router
no matter where I might be in the house. I'll probably get rid of those
phones.
Just some thoughts for what they are worth.
Jim
