    Is this how a wireless access point is supposed to work? quick question

    There are two schools of thought on same or different channels. I've always had much better reception putting access points on different channels and at least 2 or 3 channels apart (you should really use channels 1,6, and 11). Try it both ways though. SSID should be the same all around...

    If you use the "Take ownership" option... won't that allow access? I can't remember.

    Hey guys router problem here

    Some of the Linksys and Netgear routers have specific games listed in the port forwarding/port triggering mechanism. I don't have one with me to check where it's at, but there should be some menu options for opening ports, or forwarding ports. Here is a handy port list, that includes the...

    Cisco PIX 501

    The 501 is an awesome device. If your not experienced in the Cisco CLI though, I would recommend trying to get your hands on one of the GUI tools Cisco uses to configure their devices. I don't use them myself, but I think the SDM is what you want. I use 501's at remote locations for...

    What do I need for a wireless Internet connection?

    Just like in your other thread ... you still need the cable modem. Just as it's been layed out in the post above with the diagram.

    Having trouble with my Linksys wireless router, what am I doing wrong???????

    Routers arn't designed to interpret the signals comeing from your ISP. The modem is. Now .. if you have DSL, you can get an all in one cable/router, but I don't believe they come in wireless. You would still need to get a wireless access point. Sorry. You must use the cable modem.

    Having trouble with my Linksys wireless router, what am I doing wrong???????

    If I'm understanding your post correctly, I think you are confused about where the "wireless" part comes in. If you want to connect your computer to the internet wirelessly, you must connect the Router to the modem, then use a wireless NIC for your computer so it can communicate with the...

    Home Networking Using Coax: Possible?

    Some helpful info My curiosity has been peaked about this. I can't find any info that states you can't get full duplex transmission across Coax .. but I'll keep looking. Some of the disadvantages I saw were how difficult it is to install and pull Coax because of the inflexibility and...

    Home Networking Using Coax: Possible?

    You could ... but it would be a step back in time. If I remember my lessons correctly also, you cannot get full duplex with Coax networking .. it's all half duplex. That = lots of collisions.

    Think a new router might help w/ my wireless drops?

    There has to be a reason for the constant drops. If it were me, I would try downloading the firmware and installing over. Also, reset the router to factory defaults then reconfigure (you should be able to tftp your config out) Also, try uninstalling the NIC drivers (after you have...

    Think a new router might help w/ my wireless drops?

    Have you tried upgradeing the firmware on the router and the NIC? It would surprise you how much of a difference that might make, Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers is always a good idea too before you start buying new stuff ;)

    New to Wireless, have some questions please

    Vista friendly = Oxymoron I didn't read all the reviews on this one but what I did read seemed positive. One of the reviews mentioned that tech support had to be called to straighten out a problem. To me.. that's a good thing. Tech support was there, and the problem got fixed. Go figure.

    New to Wireless, have some questions please

    That should be everything you need. Have you checked Netgear wireless routers? Somthing like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833150015
