    Can you just replace the PCMCIA card inside with one that support G?

    Buy a wired one and a wireless g adapter. Much better and more
    reliable. I have a wireless squeezebox, yet I still use a separate
    adapter because I like having everything running at full G speeds.

    Hi,

    I am thinking of purchasing a wireless squeezebox but have found that
    they
    are quite difficult to get hold of in the UK. When I look at the
    slimdevices
    website I see there is a 6-8 week wait for the wireless version. This
    suggests to be that there a new version to soon be released. A retailer
    in
    the UK also said he suspected this assumption was also true. Slim
    devices
    won't tell me either way for sure.

    Does anyone know what the plan is for the new squeezebox? Will it look
    massively different? Will it be much MUCH better? I want one now but
    don't
    know if I should wait for the new version to be released after all it
    is a
    lot of money that I'll be spending.

    Would be great if someone could shed some light on this matter....any
    ideas??


    Tom

    No. 802.11G requires a wider bus than the one designed into the squeezebox, and
    wider than the cpu inside the squeezebox can handle.
