I only have two computers on my LAN so wireless was not really necessary. Did you also buy the wireless network cards? Those can run you back another CDN 80 a piece. |
Well, I am planning to buy SMC USB one (http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?sec=Pro...rod=341&site=c) it runs for 60Cdn.. quite reasonable I say.

sorry left out a detail. i meant currently all my computers are hooked up using cat5 cables. with another one coming i need to get wireless
|
Sorry to dig this up...but just to announced my toy died in 1 month and 10 days...
Just called Tech support, shipping a out a replacment ....=( Does anyone has a similar problem? |
I just got the Linksys one. My laptop has the wireless b though. File transfer suck real bad getting 1mb per second max... 11Mbits according to the connection thingy on task bar. I encourage you to get the wireless G even though it is backward compatible with B. While good for internet, it sucks bad for file transfer and I think gaming too? Not sure as I have not had any lan parties on wireless.
|
Yeah, even the G has bad wireless transfer. The bigger the file, the longer it takes per MB. I don't know if there's power hack for Linksys B, but I heard G works great with the new hacked firmware (of course there are some that makes ur box turn into a brick too)
|
if you get wireless G on your laptop, you wont need more. Hacking firmware isnt adviced. Voids waranty and can bring serious trouble.
|
lol..^only if u could somehow give that advice to me a bit earlier.......
|
I would say use LAN line over wireless. Faster and safer. But you can't walk around unless you get a long cord.
