I have and Inspiron 600 with a TruMobile 1300 MiniPCI card. I have a Linksys BE11FWS4 Wireless Router. I run three other Dell desktops with Lynksis USB adaptors - they run very well. My 600 is very slow on the internet and performance is intermitent. I have worked with Dell to no avail. I was finaly told last night (after three months and countless hours on the phone), that Dell was experiencing problems with the 1300 and that I should upgrade to the 1400. I could not confirm the problem with any of the three other techs I had to speak with in order to initiate a replacement to the 1400. Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone opted for the 1400 with a Linksys Router? Does it work well?
Desparate for a good and consistant wireless experience on my 600!!!

I've got an Inspiron 8200 and want to buy an internal Wifi mini-PCI card. Is the truemobile 1300 easy to install or do I need soldering or downloading thousands of drivers? Could you pls tell me how you did it? thanks.

Forgive me if I'm presenting info you already know...but
for most home broadband, 802.11B (at 11mbps) is plenty fast.
Your common DSL or cable connection will top out before the
11mbps does!
The only time it would be useful to go at 54mbps is when you were
transferring a very large file between two machines wirelessly.
When I download from Microsoft (say, directX drivers), I get a top
download speed of 100 k per sec with the 11mbps or 54mbps. The
bottleneck here is the cable connection, not the wireless card.
Don't think that your download speed will increase on your wireless
network with a 54G standard card. It's already going as fast as it
will go!

Thats it works perfectly, at least with me.
I tested it with 2 Routers, a 11mbit and a 22mbit and all worked. However I never tested with a 54mbit cause I don't have one :-)

I am the owner of a i8200. I have wanted to get a wireless mini-PCI card for sometime now. From what I am reading in this group is that the 1300 or the 1400 truemobile will work with my computer. Here comes the important question...
What cards work with my i8200 AND that dell will provide technical support? I don't want to install a card that Dell won't recommend and that could void my warranty.
I just want a card to connect to 802.11b since next month my apartment complex will be offering internet access through a wireless ISP.
Thanks,
Matt151b

I am using a Linksys WRT54G and I have a Dell 8200 with Truemobile 1300. I get 54Mbps most of the time, sometimes it fall down to 48 or 36.
However, I use shared authentication mode on my network and the latest TM1300 driver "lose" that setting once per day and change it to "open". The previous driver did not have that problem.

In XP, it appears as if no cable is plugged in no matter if one is or isn't. Removing the 1300 does not seem to solve the problem (eg, it appears to have permanently damaged it). I didn't make any other changes since last using the wired Ethernet port successfully, so I'm pretty sure thats what did it, but could be a coincidence. Anyone have a similar problem?
The truemobile 1300 uses:
IRQ 11
Memory Range F8FFFC000-F8FFDFFF
the 3com uses:
IRQ 11
Memory Range F8FFFC00-F8FFFC7F
I/O Range Ec80 - ECFF
Xp says there’s no conflicts.. but I’m pretty sure you can't share memory mapping resources. Also neither driver appears to allow manually overriding the settings.
Having wireless G is great, but i am starting to miss my Ethernet port .. anyone else had this problem? I wonder if this is why Dell doesn't recommend the 1300 with the i8200 laptops?
