Anyone here ever here of Ruckus or PepWave? How about PepLink? Well, I guess there was no promise of being impartial or complete on wireless reviews.

How about wireless security? WEP is easily cracked and not all MS Windows OS’s support WPA, do you know of an upgrade from MS?

By it, I mean dd-wrt.

Interesting. A friend of mine bought a repeater/extender, Linksys to go with his Linksys router, and absolutely could not get the thing to work. By the time I was talking to him, he had given up and was packing it to be returned. Since it’s one spot that he’s having problems with, he’s decided to just run a wire from the router to the problem area/chair. He works at home, so it was pretty important that he have something working. As I told him, he’s probably better off with a wired connection anyway.

As far as the single vendor goes, I remember trying to get a Netgear wired card to talk to a 3Com 3C509, and it didn’t work. I even got two Netgears and could barely get them to work together. I tried cables, straight, crossover, even bought a switch. I still prefer 3Com even if they are a bit pricey.

no, he never goes outside beacause he s scared of the sun, even if its night he doesnt go outside, coz he knows that the sun is still out there somowhere

how do you add the linkable section to your videos? I’ve never seen this before and I’d like to use it… please advise. Thanks.

Theses are some good tips, but would include adding a password to your network that your computer remembers so that only your computers can access the router. With an unsecured broadcast, your router will allow anyone to access your router, and this could be a security issue. Even if the people accessing your network are doing no harm, its still kinda creepy having people you don’t know use it.

I just wrapped my wireless cards antenna with tin foil and extended the antenna by about 3 or 4 inches.

I used to consistantly get 2 or 3 bars, now I get a full 5, sometimes dropping to 4, but very rarely. Also, I put my router higher up.

So, two simple ideas that worked great for me. See ya!

I have the Apple Wireless Basestation at home and its the best wireless router I’ve ever have!

i may just use some of these tips… my router int net connection is bad :(

Just get a wireless card(G) put it in its easy do it urself dont pay for install it takes 2 minutes.wireless sign al dependes on what type it is g,n,b, or a n is best but g is the standard

but its not the best there is, typically id say linksys is great, but i got a 2wire 2700G-B ISR(integrated service router, acts as a router wifi ap and switch)

Yes of course, but my family has an all-mac house (with the exception of my dad’s work Dell laptop). I think that the Apple wireless routers are the best for mac networks. I had link-sys with a PC and the performance was nearly the same as the Apple Base-station. I agree with what your saying.

I’m Italian too, well 1/4 but I’m still part Italian because my grandpa was full Italian.

Also, I use a Linksys Wireless G WRT54GS Broadband router with speed booster, the speed booster is kinda usless, well considering what network adapter I use since I just use a regular Linksys G PCI card on my Windows xp PC without speedbooster. I use wifi on my PC because our RoadRunner cable modem is too far from our PC and so is the cable line.

LMFAO! lol, dude thts messed up but funny!

hahhaa

actually my profile is this one i was using my bros, w/o nowing he loged in my comp

yea i had the linksys wifi g pci card w/ speedbooster. but it malfunctioned after a month. (gave me wrong ip over over again.) so i got 2 belking wifi adapters for less one is b the other g.

im the person who commented on elborrachos account i just didnt log in to mine.

right thats not my account thats my bros but was me commenting, im really the only one savy on things computer in my house

im hispanic born american heritage from el salvador….. the speedboosters useless.. in about a few years mbps is gonna get replaced with gbps some copmpanies actually offer gigabit ethernet…u can buy the equipment but youll need a new comp (too much data itll overwhelm the comp’s nic)

Ah. All right.

u look like gordon freeman, lolz

yea and the bad thing about that is Wireless B devices such as the Wii will have bandwisth speed being capped because of wireless B’s internet and even Wireless G devices will get capped too

haha not really. And Chris talks constantly and Gordon never says a word =D

One thing you can do is what’s called a can-tenna. I cut a hole in an old cake pan and put my wireless USB adaptor into it and almost tripled my signal reception. I can almost get full signal from my 1st floor router in the 3rd floor attic on the opposite side of the house. There are plenty of plans on the internet on how to make these, just be diligent and do it right or you will end up with a mess that doesn’t work. This idea is likely to reduce your need for a repeater and save you some cash for getting a an even better network card.

If you have a linksys wireless router you could run dd-wrt and overclock the wireless chip which extends the range. dd-wrt allows you to setup a wireless distribution system that allows you to extend your wireless range by using multiple wireless routers.

Jordan stole that list from microsoft.

I use 2 Netgear Rangemax Wireless Routers. One is in the basement where I’ve always had the cable/phone line enter the house.
Long before wireless became a good alternative, (during some electrical upgrades to the house) I installed a few Cat5 cables to the 3rd floor of the house from the basement location where the modem has always been. I simply hard wired the second wireless router using the Cat5 cables from the first wireless router in the basement. Now I have a wireless signal going up from the basement and another one going down from the third floor. I always have a very good or excellent signal throughout this 4,400 square foot house built in 1913.

oh well.

Hey i am looking at the D-Link DIR-625 for home use. Any thoughts on it, i dont do gaming, just reg use is all.

Thanks
Gary

These are very effective tips , but the best one that worked for me was to position my router on a high level. I have a Belkin Wireless G+ MIMO router, which are very good. I can pick up signal from at least a half a mile away from my house.

That was my simplest alternative.

Chris.

speaking of microwave i turned my microwave on low power and pute my wireless atenna in it and holly crap i have it pick up like 1000 networks but then i unpluged the microwave after a few sec so i did not mess shit up.

omg you are a wop i thought you whare a jew bag.

youre an idiot seriously. you didnt know what kind of origin the name pirillo was? anyways go fukk yourself

have you ben to brizel Its a varry popular last name. And the jewish remark was that he looks jewish

If you leave the antennas down on your router (instead of bending them up) does it work better sending signal vertically through the floors and ceilings?
