Fastest WWAN card?

#1 Post by StevenD » Fri May 30, 2008 10:31 pm

Hi,
I have a T60p with a "Sierra Wireless 1xEV-DO Network Adapter" card. I just signed up for an account through Verizon, and it seems to work fine.

How do I tell how fast my card is, and are there other WWAN internal cards that I can swap out for this one, to possibly increase the speed of my WWAN connection?

The T60 comes with REV 0 card. And that truly sucks, because revA is way quicker.

The T60 BIOS won't support REV A. You will have to get a external pc card or x press card of usb card.

Thats' what I did.

Hi, Padhead,

Thanks. I went to SierraWireless.com, but I couldn't figure out the difference between their Aircard PC Cards and their Aircard ExpressCards. Is there a difference? Are there other cards that you would recommend higher?

there is no significant difference between the usb, express or pc cards versions.

I prefer the PC card version since the expresss card falls out to easily if moving the pc. The pc card version is very sturdy. Go with the pc5720 from verizon.
