Wireless starts WAY faster on T43p than my T42p

#1 Post by Greg Gebhardt » Sun Jun 12, 2005 3:02 pm

Anyone notice how much faster the wireless is up and going on the T43p? It is up and running in just seconds where my T42p would take sometimes a minute to be ready to go.

Had my T43p for just a day and love it! The firget print security works way better than I expected.

The difference is probably in the drivers. What wireless cards does each machien have?

It takes approx. 5-10 seconds for me to switch to a different wireless network with the original IBM a/b/g card.

My T42p wireless is on in seconds, probably the card and/or driver.
