|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

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. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i can def. recommend my speedtouch 530. built-in accesspoint/firewall/router/adsl-modem... nice range too.... at least 30 m outside a building. i havent tried it at a longer distance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, and also a builtin rj45-connector. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not sure was rj45 is...though I prolly should. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is ethernet thru wire. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

i defintely recommend cisco 350s :) i got a lucent IBM ap-1000 for my house dual wireless NIC cards , on different channels, with a 14dB yagi antenna :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's the range of that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
~ 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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and how much does this cost? Me want! |

Any links on how to build such a device myself? |

I have the good ol "netgear" 802.11b wireless USB adapter 2.4 GHz MA111 nothing real special but i like the fact that i am wireless! |

yeah wireless is cool, im skydiving at the moment while talking to you guys.....just joke's........seriously i want to get wirless soo bad, is it realy worth the $ ? |
||||||||
|

|
|
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. |

you could always overclock your wireless connecton for more speed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't that potentialy dangerous to the hardware? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no overclock it to like 4ghz maybe 5ghz if you watercool pushing my OC3 home-lan backbone over wifi (155mbits) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|

|
yeah you can die from burning PCB - very hazerdous. i wear a gas mask at all times while im surfing the net @ my pc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope your not serious about the gas mask thing. And what is PCB? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
printer circuit board. dont burn it and breathe it in seriously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wtf you just had a near-death experience young man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah im just on the verge of upgrading my 28k modem to one of these brand new 56K!!!! modems i cant imagine how fast its gonna be cant wait : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't imagine the anticipation your feeling. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no overclock it to like 4ghz maybe 5ghz if you watercool pushing my OC3 home-lan backbone over wifi (155mbits) hahahaha.. that's funny, man |
||||||||
|
|
