Ok anyone have any info on useing a wireless card to play AH? Also is the "slingshot" wireless card by sprint any good? It has either a 3 or 5 gb limit per month i believe?
I'm just looking at some options right now as currently we are running some freight loads where i do not have wifi access during my wait to be loaded and the load times are 3 to 6 hours. That's a lot of times i could be shot down....errr killing someone. :lol
Thanks for any input.

Ric,
Don't know if WiFi is different from a wireless internet connection at home. I use a wireless internet connection at home. Works great. I was surprised. For many years, BBS posters said wireless is ill-suited for AH.

You will always have more warps, discos, and/or switches to TCP using a wireless connection, regardless of the type of wireless connection, as compared to a land line. Even a dial-up connection is less error prone than any wireless connection.

i was using ATT wireless and never has a issue with when i was in 3G area (when i had 2+ bars), thats was columbus area. it will vary from area to area. its when i was in 2G or below i had connection issues. i know sprint is coming out with the new wimax in some major cities. maybe a good option to look into if your in one of those cities
Right now, Sprint is the only carrier in the United States to offer a 4G wireless signal. With speeds of up to 12Mbps and averaging 2-4Mbps, For those who want speeds 3 to 5 times faster than competing carriers offering 3G, you’re in luck if you live in one of the following cities where the service will roll out in 2009:
* Atlanta
* Charlotte
* Chicago
* Dallas
* Fort Worth
* Honolulu
* Las Vegas
* Philadelphia
* Portland
* Seattle
Sprint also recognized that their plans are timelined into 2010 with rollouts expected in the following locations:
* Boston
* Houston
* New York
* San Francisco
* Washington D.C.

You were having problems. Just because you were not aware of it does not mean you were not having issues. Just because a technology can mask problems does not mean they are not there. Thank the TCP/IP protocol for the retries it will do when there is a bit error in the stream.
There is absolutely no way on Earth for a wireless connection to be as fault free as a landline connection. It cannot happen. It will never happen.

All so if your wireless network is not secure... You can get alsorts of problems if some one trys to connect to your wireless network while your on the puter.
<S> enjoy

You know that brings up another issue how do i secure my wifi connection? Also someone was mentioning how to connect direct to AH through a wifi connection but he never explained how he was doing it.
Yea i see more warping on wifi than i ever did on dial up or cable, but it's still not really bad, more annoying than anything else.
I'm thinking i might just hold off for a bit more. Sprint seems to be the leader right now and a lot of there stuff is changing this summer into next year. Probably be smartest to wait for there new stuff to roll out and get some feed back on it.
