RE: [expert] Wireless NICs
No experience at all on wireless NIC's... but I have some experience mounting GSM (mobile phone network), and I can tell you that being below the maximun distance between antennas, the most important (almost the only) thing to worry about is having direct line of sight from one antenna to the other. Anyway, if possible I would buy/make a very directive antenna in both ends (or at least in one of them) and point one to the other instead of the omni as you would dramatically increase power and quality signals (increasing range/possible speed) and for sure you still be covering more neighbourhood that strictly your house. Good luck. El vie, 16-08-2002 a las 22:59, Dodd, David J escribió: > > I have a linksys access point and it has good transmission but if you > want to measure it use wavmon.

What's the impetus for purchasing another place so close? I'm just curious is all. I don't have the knowledge base to help you with any of your questions, so I won't waste any more time. Best of luck to you, and major props for having your life in order so well. Peace/One. Isaac Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [expert] Wireless NICs
I have a linksys access point and it has good transmission but if you want to measure it use wavmon. You can set up an omni dir antenna to get a little more range. Setup a VPN for security would be a good measure. I just bought the house across the street from my current home. HouseA has DSL service and my entire network configured. I would like to share the DSL connection from one house to the other. Has anyone here experimented with any of the wireless options on Mandrake (or any Linux for that matter)? What's the throughput like? Does weather adversely affect the transmissions speeds? What is the range? Thanks for any pointers. Kwan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
