    any Free Space Optics pro users... pls come in

    Here is what I can add. There is an open source project called Ronja. http://twibright.com/services.php I correspond (ICQ) regularly with the owner of the company linked below. He is working with a company that builds a modified Ronja and will soon be testing a 100 Mbps laser design...

    Multi-company Internet Connection Supply

    A couple of things I would like to mention. First, you will need to have a "resellable" connection. Check your service agreement and see if the provider allows for the resale of your connection. Most providers expressly state that you are not allowed to resell your/their service and...

    OpenAir

    There has been rumors of Proxim abandoning the Rangelan2 and Open Air line for quite some time. Unfortunately, they don't let this information out before they are ready. Since they have better products, which they seem to be pushing, there stands a pretty good chance these products will be...

    2.4 Ghz Versus 900 Mhz

    I don't believe Dlink makes a 900 MHz access point. Could you provide a link describing it? I would love to find one.

    One Hub can't talk to the computer

    If I understand you correctly you set each system to the same IP address. Each system needs a different static IP address. Are you receiving an error screen saying a conflict has been discovered when you boot the systems up? If so, that would be where your problem is. I am sorry if I...

    Why is my WLAN so SLOW??

    It is very hard to give you an exact reason because many things could be contributing to the problem you are having. To help troubleshoot the problem, I would shut down the two other systems that share the wireless network with you and see if there is any noticeable improvement. If not, shut...

    SOLAR CAR Serially Connected Wireless Comm. System

    Here is an inexpensive idea if 900 mhz with a total throughput of 56K will do it for you. Both the controller (their term for access point) and the data jack are serial interface. http://www.hwn.ca/marcl/516.html Hope this helps.

    Only know part of a name

    A fast way of checking most of the common extensions would be to go to www.godaddy.com and enter the first part of the domain name in their search box as though you were looking to register it. This will give you back all of the ones, which are available, and more importantly the ones that are...

    What standard 802 11a, 11b, or 11g?

    Yes, there is a world of misinformation out there. Let's start by breaking down the two different groups by catagory. The 2.4 gHz frequency (ISM) is used by both the 802.11b and 802.11g equipment. The range these devices actually have can be mathematically predicted. For example, if there is...

    Wireless AP/Bridge question

    I'm going with wookalar here. I would be concentrating on the switch and the cable. If the cable run is only 130-140' you should be fine. Did you make the cable? If so, I would be looking at recrimping both ends (just to make sure). My concern using an access point for delivery to fourth...

    Wireless AP/Bridge question

    I would have to wonder how long the length of Cat5 is to the fourth group of computers or if there is a problem with the switch. If the problem exists between the third and fourth group of computers using an access point to connect the fourth group will not help (in fact it will probably cut...

    extending a wireless network

    I can see several options. 1. Use an external antenna on your access point (I don't use Netgear so I am not sure if there is an external antenna connector). 2. Use a better quality access point. I like Orinoco products for their receive sensitivity and the ability to add an external antenna...

    are there any "Dial-up" wireless ac

    If I understand your question correctly, the Orinoco RG-1000 is exactly what your looking for. It is 802.11b compliant and had a built-in 56K modem. Read all about the Dell rebadged version here. http://support.ap.dell.com/docs/network/tmrg1000/en/

    Only Wireless, No Wires

    That does look like an exciting product. This only issue I can see is the aggregate bandwidth issue. If several "micro cells" are created with the channels reused every few hundred feet, more cumulative bandwidth can be delivered to the overall facility. As an illustration, let's...

    How do I Network between two buidings??

    If you have telephone lines running between the buildings, you could use SDSL modems in a back to back configurations. We use the Elastic Networks Elite modems (Elastic Networks was bought by Paradyne). We also use the Netopia R7100 router in a back to back configuration. Some of the other...

    Only Wireless, No Wires

    Without knowing a lot more about the layout of the building including the materials used in construction I don't believe anyone can accurately predict what it will take. If the building was wide open and was constructed so as to minimize multipath, it could be possible to cover the area with 2.4...

    Wireless bridging between two access points

    As much as this sounds like heresy, I would have to say the easiest, least expensive and most reliable way of doing this is to run Cat5 cable between the two access points. From there, you can setup roaming. Another suggestion is to "bridge" them through phone wires using Ethersplit...

    Spectrum Analyzer software

    There are three companies who make software which will do what you're asking for - in a way. If you are looking to sweep the 2.4 gHz. range, Teletronics makes an 802.11 (2Mbps) card site survey survey package. As I recall, it goes for around $300.00. Here's a link to their site...
