My laptop has a built-in wireless adapter, I just need to get a router that has both wires and wireless before I can take advantage of that. I can't wait.

~ 20miles with 2 yagis pointed at each other (14+dB gains) depending, (theoretical value, although frezzzno effeckT and climate and line of site all taken into extreme consideration)
but 10miles usually on a line of site shot.
the other ones are omni (360deg antennas) and the big yagis are VERY directional.
but a nice 5dB omni hooked to yer access point gives a good mile of range if in the open easily.

it's not any/much more expensive than a wired network. so, if you're planning on setting up a network in your home or business. i'd definately go wireless.
and, if one or more of your computers is a laptop then it's a definate.

The only trouble with wireless is that it is a lot slower than wired. You can't watch dvd's over a wireless network. Even if your wireless router can output that fast, most card don't recieve/send stuff fast enough. Though you can easily play mp3's.

uhhh why would you be streaming DVDs?
does your laptop have 5.1 ? ?? ? ? ??
streaming divx dvd rips are just fine.
11mbits, actual ~ 5-6mbits is plenty of bandwidth.

well, I'm just saying your not going to be doing anything that has a heavy bandwidth load over a wireless connection is all. And if I were streaming a dvd the laptop wouldn't need to have 5.1, the destination I am streaming it too would. But I do plan on using my laptops wireless thing. I have enough other computers for dvd's. I was pointing out the small downside of wireless networking.

sounds like a lot of work. Not sure about cooling methods. I don't know much about wireless networking. I here you can overclock your cpu also, but htat can be dangerous.

you mean any circuit board in the machine? I fried the LED on an old piece of shit and it smoked and I accidently inhaled a bit. I can't say it smelled to good, but I am not dead.
I think tomorrow I'll go looking for a used combo router thats wireless and wired.

cool. A little puff of smoke came from the reset button on the LED, and apparently a circuit blew out. A piece is sticking out. I reconnected the wire backwards and turned it on and poof! I was like, "oops." That was the end of that machine, though it was only a 486.
