(and I have many... so I duynno what I'm saying) I'd do it... really it's more of a space and practicality issue for me :'( Congradulations though!!!

Gothikon Full Member Australia 537 Posts	Posted - 09 Jun 2003 : 01:38:58 I plan on going wireless soon. I'm going to get an Airport card for my Cube which I use all the time and I was originally thinking of a USB wireless adapter which I could swap around the other machines (I can use 2 computers at once but 3;s pushing it). lthough then i heard about wireless ethernet bridges which would be a lot beter than a USB one and all my machines have USB anyway. Anyway one use a wireless ethernet bridge? Any recomendations? You just plug them in to any old ethernet port and suddenly it becomes wireless enabled? Does that include printers? -------- LC 2, LC 3, Q605, Perf 638, Colour Classic (160 603e) 6100, 7200, PTP 225 (Quad 604), PM 9600, G4 Cube

Today I slapped the airport card in my iBook and ... wireless all over my house! Sweet! Big congrats... I'm seriously thinking of going the same way at my place, just as soon as I get some form of broad-band service... Unless, of course, you feel like giving me a login/password to your wireless network, we can put up a few Pringles cans ( see http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/448 and http://verma.sfsu.edu/users/wireless/pringles.php ) and maybe I can leach offa your 'net... From the O'Reilly page: "Over a clear line of sight, with short antenna cable runs, a 12db to 12db can-to-can shot should be able to carry an 11Mbps link well over ten miles."

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 10 Jun 2003 : 00:19:00 Is it an MR814? That's the one I have...other than some issues actually getting it to work out of the box (had to call tech support and eventually had to hard-reset it), it has been trouble-free since and gets a much better range than an Airport base ever would. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Lord of the Mac II Series Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 http://www.cinemafia.net

emaq123 Junior Member USA 258 Posts	Posted - 10 Jun 2003 : 16:59:06 That is on my list of things to get. Almost did with the pb 5300. Maybe next month. Wasn't there a review on Macworld or something about the base-stations? It listed the features including if it would pass appletalk. I want an 802.11b airport base station but the prices are too high over standard 802.11b base-stations. emaq123 SE/30 and system 6.0.8 Now we're talking POWER!
cyril Starting Member France 1 Posts	Posted - 07 Aug 2003 : 06:23:23 I had some problems with the netgear mr814v2 and some airport card. I try to install the mr814v2 and many powerbook was not able to connect the network when the WEP was activated. I put my experience on the net: http://www.prospect.ath.cx/~cyril/?pageref=2&pagefct=loadfile&filepath=./CS/hardware/mr814v2.html I change the mr814v2 for a Lynksys, everything work fine with PC and Macintosh .

The Balance Of Judgement Senior Member Ivory Coast 1006 Posts	Posted - 07 Aug 2003 : 07:56:24 I might go wireless in the future, but I only have about 2-300 per month spending money so it would be small steps. What I really need is a new desk that can support all the machines I have. I have too many for my current one.
