| I'm interested in setting up a network at home, to allow connection in 4 rooms.
Does anyone know of any good publications or web sites which will give good advice.
Your help will be appreciated. | |

Ohhh, but I like hacking walls and plastering.
Where's the fun in wireless! | |

| the fun in wireless... let's see... oh yeah, I live on an apple orchard that serves as my backyard. In the good season, I get to take my laptop in there, lounge in a hammock, drink something tropical/exotic, while still be able to surf the net or watch a movie on my laptop without being tethered to the house. That's fun to me -- but hey, that's just me  | |

| I agree, wireless is the way to go. All 3 of my pc’s are wireless at home with the exception of the study lab and like Freak said I can go anywhere on the property and surf the net…check in with Exam Notes, and enjoy the country all at the same time. | |

| Wireless is very cool as long as you aren't doing anything extremely bandwidth intensive. On a strong link 802.11b will give you around 6Mbps which should be enough for most applications. | |

| I'm waiting on Santa to bring me a wireless access point and pcmia card for my Sony laptop. Lol I can't wait, freedom from the cat 5 cables. | |

| oh yeah. the orchard is huge
Good point from ccieToBe though, in terms of bandwidth. | |

| I run wired and wireless.
For the Wireless, i use the 802.11a technologie, which gives me 72Mbps.
Very cool!
But it does have some drawbacks....
Nobody else seems to have it. | |

Appletalk? | |
|
| Appletalk? Very cute | |

That sounds more like an advantage to me (think security). What kinds of actual transfer rates are you seeing? Around 30Mbps? | |

| The Transfer rate is 72 Mbs, close to the Accesspoint.
With Distance, it goes down quick.
50 feet= 60 mbps
70 feet= 45 mbps
100 feet= 15 mbps
150 feet= 5 mbps | |

Are those actual transfer rates? What I mean is, for example, try an FTP download over your wireless network. Are you getting these tranfer rates in that case? | |

| You know, i will have to check on that...
I will let ya' know tomorrow.
