Wireless PC Card Modem

So far I am unable to determine how good this card is at the moment because I am using it from a desktop PC using a PCMCIA adapter. Soon that will change and I can provide an update, however I do find it annoying that the signal drops often, but that may be due to my ISP and not the modem itself.
Only recently I realized that it does have a female port for an external antenna - I will have to play around with that, but get this... I placed a metal cooking grl near the modem and it DBMs went from -111 to -77 - amazing what a 'home' antenna can do.

I have been noticing a slow down since I used my EVDO card (Merlin V620) on my Vista OS and the cause could be this:

| Microsoft has released a patch for Vista that improves EVDO Wireless Data Card performance when running under Vista. This patch is NOT available as part of the Vista sofware update, you will need to download the patch directly from Microsoft. Symtoms (from 940646) You use a 3G wireless wide area network (WWAN) data card on a Windows Vista-based computer. The WWAN data card uses a connection that only receives data. However, you may find that the throughput is much less than the throughput of the same 3G WWAN data card when you use it on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer. |
