bwt1953 Posted March 18, 2005 CID Share Posted March 18, 2005 dkiller723, I'm on wireless too. What equipment do you have... antenna? Is your service capped? What's your upload. What rouiter do you use? Too many questions....are we there yet? I just noticed the 'adelphia.net' in your post. So this is cable right? And you're running a wireless home network.

bwt1953 Posted March 18, 2005 CID Share Posted March 18, 2005 My service to the house from the ISP is wireless. I pick up their signal with a Telex antenna sitting right outside the door, from a repeater up on the hill. I also run a wired/wireless network in the house using a Linksys WRT54G router. It does real well, but still have some dead spots that can be aggrevating. I've been looking into placing an antenna on each level of the house to even out the signal. Just haven't decided whether to hardwire to new access points or to get the wireless repeaters. Running cable up three floors is a pain, but so is hearing my wife complaining about an antenna hanging on the wall. Maybe I can hide it in a vase or something. I got my router when the 54g first came out. I am curious to see what the new 54g's with speedbooster can do. Do you feel that there is a big improvement with your turbo over a standard 54g wirless router? I look forward to seeing your posts on wireless tips!

dkiller723 Posted March 18, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hears a quck tip if you want a larger range with wireless with out buying new antenns go into your router and chage the router speed from auto or 54mbps to 2mbps. The reason i say to do this is the lower the data rate the lower the tx rate so your range is increased quite a bit. about 30-40%. only do this if your not sharing large files over the wireless network just sharing the internet. More wireless tips to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted March 18, 2005 CID Share Posted March 18, 2005 Super G (or whatever your manufacturer calls it) increases the data that can be sent, usually from 54Mbs to 108Mbs. It doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I've been thinking of using the Gigabit LAN on them for my workgroup setup for my HTPC network. dkiller732's suggestion, for lowering router speed to increase range, is a good one. At least for me. I have the wireless installed for my kids for when they're home from college. All they need is to surf and email. That too solves another problem I have been trying to conquer: how to restrict bandwidth on the network. Good tip! Keep 'em comin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwt1953 Posted March 18, 2005 CID Share Posted March 18, 2005 Damn....I almost forgot. I need to ask you cable guys ...what should I buy for a cable modem. I ordered Adelphia HSI and am opting for the 6768 and selected the plan where I buy my own modem. Don't have a clue. Maybe I should post this elsewhere?

pitbull481 Posted March 18, 2005 CID Share Posted March 18, 2005 I like the Linksys, never had a problem with them. I think I'll pick up unit with speedbooster on it to setup a channel just for me and my laptop. I'm gonna get brain damage from all the RF around here. Summers coming, so I just ordered Adelphia HSI to put in here in addition to the SkyNet Wireless I already have. The kids will be home from school for three months. Five people trying to hog bandwidth all at once. I'd have to get a dial-up account just to check my mail only thing with the router is the range. kinda poor, might need to get better antenna. when i was looking for price on antenna i just went wired, comes out cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
