trades Posted December 23, 2005 CID Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hi, I intend to share online college with my three neighbors, all of them are family. Currently we can only get dial up or satelite. So I am getting a TabletPC with windows Tablet PC 2005 Operateing System; and need to set up Wi-Fi to extend about 1200 feet with really good speed (30-90kb dowload?) for their downloading from the college library database. I have a desktop, and there is another desktop in the house with a spare PCI slot and USB 1.1, The comp at the house next door where my cousin with 3 kids shes 21 (ages 4, 1, and womb) has USB 2.0 and a PCI slot. I have not measured the farthest distance to the farthest house but i am guessing less than 2000 feet. I do not know anything about Wi-Fi but what I have looked at so far I like the Netgear RangeMax Wireless Router Model WPN824 or WPNT834 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Fan Posted December 23, 2005 CID Share Posted December 23, 2005 I don't know of any other better ideas, as repeaters are good for extending your wireless network. The firewall on the router should not slow down your connection at all, as it doesn't slow down mine. FIREWALL OFF: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 1047 Kbps about 1 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 128 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Fri Dec 23 10:35:23 EST 2005 Bottom Line:: 19X faster than 56K 1MB download in 8 sec Diagnosis: Looks Great : 13.93 % faster than the average for host (direcpc.com) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-ROTCGUF5P FIRWALL ON: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 1069 Kbps about 1.1 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 131 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Fri Dec 23 10:36:24 EST 2005 Bottom Line:: 19X faster than 56K 1MB download in 7.82 sec Diagnosis: Looks Great : 16.32 % faster than the average for host (direcpc.com) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-P5YJFHZM6 It sounds like you might have other neighbors in the area that would be close to you, make sure you put some kind of security on your firewall; you don't want anyone hacking into your computer or stealing bandwidth from your already slow internet connection.

richcornucopia Posted December 23, 2005 CID Share Posted December 23, 2005 This might help you: Is the terrain open between you two? If it is, this is done easily. Get an access point with external antenna connector ( http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WG102.php ) and a directional external antenna like this (http://www.netgear.com/products/details/ANT24D18.php). 2 miles is easy. I do this now with an omni-directional antenna, and it works fine at 10 miles. All depends on the terrain. Cost a few hundred bucks. Check out outdoor wifi on Ebay. You can read the rest of the topic here http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=5071.0. Don't forget you can search the forum for a similar topic before you post something asking the same thing. Best wishes with your wifi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richcornucopia Posted December 24, 2005 CID Share Posted December 24, 2005 Are you gonna use some senao cards? I think I'm gonna get one of the 200mW and a 7dbi antenna for my laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted December 24, 2005 CID Share Posted December 24, 2005 my friend just walks down the street and picks up like 20 to 30 wireless connections so its powerful. ask him whats best cause he makes them and knows what they are good for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted December 24, 2005 CID Share Posted December 24, 2005 I did, and he recommended the senao and the 7dbi omnidirectional antenna so they must be good products cause he seems to know a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
