User Submitted SanDisk SDWCFB-128-768 Wireless 802.11b & 128 MB CF Card Reviews (cont...)Date: 2004-02-17 Average Product I purchased and use with HP iPaq h2215. Technical support or guidance in severly lacking, but once I had a computer-savvy person help get it operational, the wi-fi works well. It easily connects to my home network, and connected in a matter of seconds to wi fi network in local coffee shop. I have not had the chance to try out the memory capabilities. Date: 2004-01-13 Great tool but needs better documentation With my iPaq 3835 and Compact Flash sleeve I was able to setup the SanDisk card in about 30 minutes. It would have taken much less time if there had been ANY help in the documentation or online, but still, just by hacking around I was able to get up and running on my home wireless network in little time. One note: I use an Airport (by Apple) for my wireless point and the SanDisk picked it up immediately out of the box (even before I got the settings right). I definitely recommend this product - it is sturdy, the storage part of the card works great (nice bonus) and it does NOT stick far out the iPaq at all - just be sure you have some knowledge of wireless networking or a friend that can help you. Date: 2003-12-30 Another Axim-Sandisk victim Whoops, I bought this card for my Dell Axim X5 before I had a chance to read these reviews. I was at the store and didn't find the product I intended to buy, so I got this instead. I had trouble with the drivers (I have to have both the CD-supplied drivers and the newer downloaded drivers installed for it to work) but I finally got a connection and finally got the "Wi-Fi Settings" utility to work. The connection is reliable although after installing something else to the Axim I had to re-install the Sandisk drivers. The most annoying problem, however, has been the memory capability of this card. It doesn't work in my card reader, and while the Axim at first saw the 128MB, it then indicated an error and I think it then asked to re-format the card, now it indicates that the card has a capacity of 31MB. The Flash Format utility (from CNetX) can't even see the memory. Maybe the Axim has a problem, but I certainly expect the Sandisk to be readable in a card reader to fulfill its promise as a dual-purpose device. It's going back tomorrow. Date: 2003-11-24 San Disk works I have a Netgear wireless router (54g) and was able to hook the SanDisk Wifi (128 mb) in minutes. I have an Ipaq 3950 and used the IP daskboard utility from Hudson Technology. All I did was run the utility first, then entered the program (a mini disk accompanies the SanDisk Wifi) and inserted the CF card into the slot of the expansion pack. All of the necessary addresses were automatically entered (you have to insert the CF card and then remove it to reset the addresses .. I did this once and it now is working all the time.) I have been able to roam the apartment with the Ipaq exactly the way I could with my Notebook. The only reason I did not give the SanDisk 5 stars was that it sticks out a bit much. If you get the CF card, I suggest you also get the IP Dashboard...available at Handango. Date: 2003-11-13 Avoid this item like the PLAGUE This item is SUBSTANDARD product. The memory on it cannot be access via readers or via ANY DELL AXIM. Dell blames SanDisk and SanDisk blames Dell. SanDisk will NOT stand behind the unit or replace it. They just promise at some point a driver will be released to fix the problem. Over a month later and still NO driver. Go with someone that test's their product and supports it. AVOID this one.
