I just bought me a new laptop and its quiet, the only thing has any noise is the cd rom drive. Its got a Intel Pentium M 1.6Ghz 2mg cache 533 frontside bus 512mg DDR2 (533mhz). (Couldif got more) Radeon x300 PCI Express 16X card, and can be upgradedable, 17" Wide Ultra Sharp LCD screen and has alote more. and i paid after discounts $1400.

Aerodude, your on G4R bird same as me. Truckinslim your on G-11.

I wasnt for shur, thats what i heard a while back.

To my knowledge one of the sat wildblue uses which is horizon direcway ownes.

direcway advertise speeds are 700/50

I think thats just common with direcway? I just tested again to see if it was just a some sort of a burst. It could also be that more of that tweaking i did :::..

On the DW4000 system they have a tool to install on the other computers to optimize the connection, and it does work. I would not upgrade to the 6000 system. You can get the tool off of direcway or i can give you a copy of it.

I wish i hit them speeds, but i still have more tweaking to do :::..

Do you know what bird you are regester with? If you are getin signal of 55 thats your bird. Anything past 30 your locked on. The dish is very touchy! Its not like a Directv dish you can move it 3 inches you still get a signal. What bird you connecting to? Have you missed with the elevation or polaration?

im running the DW4000 reciver which runs with a usb connection. On Direcways page for wireless i haft to use a access point.

I just though of something today i cant us a wireless router on my internet connection. Because my modem uses a usb connection. will an access point work instead?

I just purchased a new laptop and coming today, and it has an intergrated wireless card in it 802.11G i belive. i know it will run speeds of 54Mbps. My question is how far of a reach can Linksys wrt54g Wireless router send out? Here a link of what im looking at
