gamehead200 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 OK, well, I decided to go and buy another wireless router today, and I'm glad I did!!Here is my current configuration: | | MODEM/INTERNET |-------------| |-- Dell| Wireless || Router |-- Server| |------------- | | UPLINK PORT |-------------| |-- Main Desktop| Wired |-- Testing Machine| Router |-- Wire to Bed (this was for before I added wireless to my room)| |------------- | | CROSSOVER CABLE |-------------| || Wireless || Router || |-------------What do you guys think?? Too much wireless for you? BTW, that UPLINK PORT has a LONG wire going from my basement to my room (through the walls, of course)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamehead200 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 Why did you need a new router? Blind spots in your house?Oh, and you can never have enough wireless!Half my house had a blind spot... BTW, I also bought this router because its the one with the Linux firmware... I flashed it last night with a hacked firmware and now I can do tons of things, like increase the signal strength, telnet into it, etc... I think I can do roaming...
