wireless

I have a 50 Mbps internet connection, and a 802.11n wireless router. If I make a wired connection I do indeed get 50 Mbps internet speed. So why do my wireless devices get speeds that never exceed 20 Mbps? I looked at the router settings, and in the wireless settings I found a bandwidth...

I have the following setup: Two computers running XP with SP3. Computer1 has a wireless Linksys USB adapter and connects to the router. This works fine. Computer2 has a regular network adapter card (not wireless). Now I would like to connect computer2 to computer1 with a regular network...

I teach HS and use a classroom DLP projector. I pipe in video from computers, DVD and VHS. I've always wanted to cut as many cords as possible. Can this gizmo help? http://www.infocus.com/accessories/wireless-and-networking/infocus-liteshow-iii Beyond product descriptions and press releases...

One of my naighbours would like to share my wireless broadband connection. However, the thick granite walls of our houses block any wireless connection. Is it possible to run some sort of cabling from my router through to her house so that she can have wifi inside her house? (She's disabled and...

My laptop has IE 7, AOL, and Netscape 8.13 installed. IE has decided it cannot connect via either the wireless network or when plugged into the router. AOL and netscape have no problems. Even with all firewalls turned off, it "cannot make HTTP or FTP connection--check your firewall". Anybody...

Just a quick one... I recently got myself a new laptop, a mac book pro, which incidentally I am not in love with yet despite the giddy delight mac owners experience when I tell them I have switched - anyway, I was setting my wireless network up only to discover that my neighbours have a...

I have a wireless network in my house. I connect wirelessly with my Mac laptop, and up until yesterday I had my PC connected with a hardwire into the router. I moved the PC, and it doesn't have built in wireless capability, and I can't move the router without running a pain in the ass cable...

I just got a free wireless router from my ISP for signing up for another 12 months. The instruction booklet was at best basic, it doesn't even say what it can do. It seems to assume a depth of knowledge at about the Bill Gates level. Despite this, I managed to set it up to connect to the...

First, I don´t know much about computers, so sorry if my question shows great ignorance. Ok. I travel quite often between America and Europe, I need to get access to internet and my laptop does not contain the card (?) that allows someone to use wireless internet. My question is, if I buy this...

At my current house we have one of these and one of these to boost the signal. However, while the router works fine, when we try to connect to the booster, it gets stuck on "acquiring network address". I have followed the instructions from the belkin site (pdf), and also connected to the...

I need it so I can connect to my home network, and thus the interent. It's a D-Link DWL-G122 USB adapter revision B1. Doing some basic searching, I've found out about something called NdisWrapper, but after following instructions here I still couldn't get it to work, although I think it did...

I have some questions about wireless access, spoofing, hackers, and the possible vulnerability of my system. I live in a neighborhood rife with wireless access points. While sitting in my favorite chair, I can often see up to 6 wireless access points (some secure, some open), but if I walk...

I recently bought a wireless router in order to set up a home network, and took the necessary steps to secure it. Amazingly, when I scan for available wireless network connections, I find three that are always on, and which I can use freely. Presumably, these belong to neighbours who don't...

I've finally made the jump to get a laptop at home. I just setup a wireless network at work and they came to me asking about wireless printing. I went with a Bluetooth Class 1 Network to avoid conflict the the Wireless-G network. It works fine. Good distance, just no two-way communication...

Do you get wireless monitors? The reason I ask is that another baby is coming and it's gonna take my spare room. So I need somewhere to compute. I was thinking I could put the base until in a cupboard and buy a wireless mouse, keyboard and TFT monitor and work like that. Is it possible? Any...

I am going to seem like I am prehistoric. While searching around for a graphic tablet I came across a new world of goodies. One being Wireless modems and networking. Not that I understand what these are exactly. As my modem is prone to throwing tantrums and refuses to talk to anybody, I...

I have a Westell 327 Interlink gateway and I was wondering if someone has a palmpilot, can it automatically link up to a palm pilot or do you have to download something. Since at Starbucks, I can do this without downloading, can my Modem do the same thing at my house? My Westell 327 Interlink...

I just got off the phone of the with the business center and was told that wireless internet is available for 15.99 per 24 hours. Just thought Id give a heads up for those interested. (I really wish you could edit the thread title) :rolleyes:

I have a Linksys WRT54GS and was wondering what kind of performance hit (if any) I will take when I move from my current wired config to wireless? I play some games on the internet, sometimes with both machines simultaneously. Will it be better to leave one machine wired and the other...

I am IT manager for a medium sized company. I have a small group of users who spend most of their time travelling to various parts of the world on business. In the past I have tried a number of remote access schemes, all of which work to some degree but nothing works ALL the time in ANY country...

Parents sue school over wireless network Um, anyone know of any of this "growing body of evidence?"
