New T23 owner and have some wifi questions

#1 Post by Pro547 » Sun Oct 09, 2005 10:26 pm

I'm looking to expand my t23 with wifi. I have been looking around and I saw IBM 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN P/N 91P7301 and was wondering if I can put this in my T23. It says I need a "ThinkPad with the integrated UltraConnect AntennaTM." I'm pretty sure I don't have this but I know that I can get the T23 LCD bezel with wireless antenna on ebay. So would this wifi card work with my thinkpad.

Also one more question I have is can I get the 14.1" TFT display with 1400x1050 resolution to work on my 14.1" TFT display with 1024x768 resolution?

Last I saw the T23 wireless-ready LCD covers (you need more than just the bezel, you need the lid itself) were going for big bucks (compared to non-wifi LCD covers), so much so that it's just not worth it.

I use a 3-Com x-jack b/g pcmica card (the antenna retracts into the card body), recommend it highly. Search the forum for more info on the 3 com card, also search under my username for post about trying to add wifi to a non-wifi T22.

91P7301 cannot work on T23 (not the problem of 1802). We have both 91P7301 and T23 around hand. no need to try.

I recommend you to use broadcom 802.11a/b/g wifi card, 100% working. (available in www.wireless4laptop.com ).

Before you take a higher resolution screen, please be sure if the screen connecting line is the same type as your T23's.

See in particular Flatdraft´s instructions which helped me to upgrade my t23.
