Easy. Just use prism2.device as a driver for a wireless PCMCIA network card. It's just like configuring any other form of Amiga networking.

The hard part is finding a compatible card (they're the older 11mbps kind), although I think AmigaKit sells kits that have the cards and easily-configured software all in one handy package.

I noticed that there are a lot of people who try to get Amigas networked.
There are people who are struggling to get it working, so I decided to make 2 Youtube videos showing how is done.
Recently my A4000 HD went nuts, so I had to reinstall everything from scratch, but my networking is not done yet. I will use that opportunity to record a video showing the configuration steps installing and configuring AmiTCP v3 with Hydra Systems network card.
My next video will be configuration steps installing wireless card on A600 with ACA630. The same steps should be used for A1200.

Stay tunned...

prism.device connects first unsecured wlan by default.

My trick is to use my nokia lumia hotspot to get amiga to net.

It does NAT so, I just gave static IP to amiga from correct range, but Lumia's WLAN secure settings to none.

OK, the TCPIP video tutorial for A4000 is done.

Next time I'll do wireless on A600/A1200.

has anyone on here done this ?

I use cnet.device together with Genesis to connect to a network card in my pc. My pc is set up (allow users to connect through....) to share the internet connection over this card. After some trial/error its working quite well. Did need to enter IP address (first one in the range of the network card, ie 192.168.137.2) and DNS server manually though.

To fing compatible wireless cards, you need to read the Guide which comes with Prism2v2 device drivers. There is a complete list of supported cards in it.

I was able to make a video showing Wireless card install and configuration using WEB encryption, I hope is useful.

--There was an error during wireless startup at the end of the video, which is present on both A600 and A1200, but everything works afaik.
