I recently upgraded my laptop (Dell Latitude C600, usually running 550MHz continuously) from 256MB RAM to 512MB. Netgear WGR511 router, WAG511 wireless cardbus/PCMCIA card.

One thing I've noticed is that I don't seem to lose connections as readily as I used to, from the same locations -- an unexpected advantage. Now I'm seeing Bit Rate:24-36 Mb/s and Link Quality=17-21/94 even in, what used to be, unreliable locations in the house when I run /usr/sbin/iwconfig. I don't seemt to be losing connections from

Just an interesting observation.
