I have one of these from my old house -- http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?sec=Pro...rod=253&site=c

Now I have a wireless DSL router from Qwest that is not nearly as powerful but the two arent compatible.

Netgear, low cost and gets the job done

I kinda like Linksys too.... any troubles with the wireless setup?

hey Roger, if I get the 802.11b I can run a combination of hardwire and wireless? (that's how it looks to me at least.... unless I'm missing something)

thats right you can run both

I have one hard wired and 3 on PC cards 802.11b

Amputate Your Head · 07-20-2003, 10:07 PM

sweet.... I think I'll try that one, chain it to my BEFSR41W, run hardwire off that, and wireless off the 802.11b....

how's the range? I don't need too much range, but it needs to be a solid link through some structure... like, through the ceiling almost directly above and a little bit to the left of the main input.

One of my laptops goes thru two solid walls

the one in my bedroom and it works fine

Actually I have one hard wired
one on wireless usb adapter and two Laptops with PC cards 802.11b

what does suck is I'm always online. LOL

cisco areoport 350 WAP you can attach bigger attena if u have a big back yard

Pornkings · 07-20-2003, 10:17 PM

Linksys also has 24HR support. so they are solid

and I think best buy has some good deals on it right now.

that's why I like Linksys.... been using them for years...

(even though I had one of their routers flat out die on me back in '01)

Amputate Your Head · 07-20-2003, 10:22 PM

the wireless I need it for the most isn't a critical deal.... but it does need to work... I just hate to buy all this shit and then find out it's not gonna go through the ceiling or something... I thought maybe the Seimens Powerline might be better, but I'm having trouble finding any of it online...

I actually prefer 100% hardwire.... no guessing.

but I really don't wanna string Cat 5 from upstairs down to the studio just for one stinking connection. 4 years ago, I would have jumped on it....

now though, fuck that... the quicker & easier, the better. (old age is setting in)

It used to be like $150 or something

get a USB adapter which is 2.4 ghz it has a antenna for excelent range.

if its a laptop then use a card.

If it doesn't work you can always return them and try something else

Amputate Your Head · 07-20-2003, 10:29 PM

the best thing to do is put in a panel and run that shit through the walls to every damn room....

wait... I'm feelin' that old spark again!

nah... nevermind... it's gone now.

yeah, I found a deal on the router and the cards together. I'll go with the Linksys.

Amputate Your Head · 07-20-2003, 10:30 PM

quiet · 07-20-2003, 10:31 PM
