    WireLess for my Laptop??

    Hey peeps,

    Anyone have or ever try the Linsys wireless hub?

    http://www.linksys.com/Products/prod...id=23&prid=415

    Whats the range? Does it slow down your DSL? Is it really worth it, can I really roam around my office with this thing?

    Any other suggestions?


    thx in advance,
    Ray

      Forgot to mention, my laptop comes equiped with this:

      Communication
      Modem: V.90 Data/Fax Modem, Ring Wake-up Resume

      LAN: 10/100 integrated Ethernet LAN, network boot

      Wireless LAN: Built-n Wireless LAN (802.11b)

      Bluetooth: Built-in Bluetooth? Antenna (Bluetooth? enabled through service installation of optional, internal Bluetooth Module?)

      This should help with me wanting to go wirless?

                  I have it and for the most part I like it. Your speed doesn't drop off, but the range can vary. I have a 3 floor house and the router is in the basement. In my bedroom on the top floor it does not work at all. In the study next to it, no problem. Also, I was hoping that it would work outdoors so I could sit outside on a nice day and work from my laptop. No dice.

                  I guess the good thing is no one can steal my bandwidth unless they were reaching in my kitchen window.

                              you may be able to depending on what else is around you. I have power lines running up to the box right outside my door, so that may cause interference. Then again, the signal might just break up outdoors.

                                      THXXX guys,

                                      Because my Laptop comes equiped with:

                                      Wireless LAN: Built-n Wireless LAN (802.11b)

                                      Bluetooth: Built-in Bluetooth? Antenna (Bluetooth? enabled through service installation of optional, internal Bluetooth Module?)

                                      I would like try the Hub made by Tosh,

                                      The only problem now is trying to find a store here in MTL that has it. I dont want to order it online because if I dont like it, I dont want to do through the trouble of shipping it back.

                                      thXXX again,
                                      Ray

                                          I couldn't live without it! I have a 2 level apartment with concrete everything and I can go every direction and even across the street with it. I have a Netgear Wireless router.

                                              dude, you can go outside... i used to live in a 3rd floor apt. i could go outside and across the parking lot to the pool and had a connection. it all depends on what you're going through. i was going through 3 rooms in my apt and my neighbors apt. i love my wireless. i have a linksys.

                                                          Just don't share out any folders on your laptop and you'll be fine.

                                                              The wireless is extremly nice, too bad you have a built in wireless card. Otherwise I would highly recommend the Cisco Wireless cards. They have the farthest range of any card out.

                                                                                  Well, I encounterd my first problem.

                                                                                  Anything out going takes forever, for example, when I hit send mail it takes about 2 minutes before it makes a connection and actually sends, dreamweaver FTP client wont connect at all(tried with several hosting accounts).

                                                                                  This happens whem ever in connected with the router, wireless OR hardwire,same thing.

                                                                                  Any ideas?

                                                                                  Ray

                                                                                      Ok, Im getting somewhere. When I connect passive mode with dreamweaver it works. Now to figure out how to let my mail connect faster.

                                                                                      I guessing its a problem with the Linksys firewall.
