My sister has a strange problem with her wireless Internet connection on
Windows XP. I think it's related to the specific software that came with her
modem, but I haven't been able to pin it down.
Basically, the computer is constantly accessing the hard disk -- you can

Do all modems for wireless internet need a sim card?
If so can you copy a sim card you already have and use that?
What I wish to do is to be able to connect to the net wirelessly while I
am out and about.  I have an account with BP but the modem is a bit big

Although I posted a little awhile ago, asking whether or not to wait to
get some 11n equipment, I've been curious, and one of my laptops already
has an 802.11n adapter (an Intel 4965agn), and I was an 11n router on
sale (a Buffalo WHR-G300N), so I figured that I'd "dip my toes" ...

I have this router in my home.
I use the 5Gig channel as a wireless N network
and I use the 2.4GHz channel as a Mixed network, (B, G or N)
Both channels are set to WPA-2 with AES.

The US has proposed new rules that would require internet firms to
  respect the principle of "network neutrality".
  The head of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) said that
  "all web traffic should be treated equally".

A few weeks ago I got a Belkin F5D7234-4 Wireless-G router
(firmware version 4.00.05, boot version 0.03), for an Eee PC
netbook that is mainly used for traveling.
I first set up the wired host computer (Win XP, 5.1.2600, SP3),

Just set up a new Acer Aspire One netbook (damn nice machine BTW, only
$320 delivered from PC Connection for the slim version with extended
battery, plus $25 to upgrade the memory to 2 GB) for a friend to use

was just reading in my Network World trade rag
about various satellite com companies...
There were 2 that I looked at for just general info & knowledge

I'm thinking of upgrading my wireless network equipment to "11n".  I
gather that there are "Draft-N 2.0" equipment (routers and adapters)
now, but I was wondering if it'd be better to wait until the "official"
adoption takes place and for "official" 11n-compliant equipment is

What is the difference between an access point and a router?
Thanks

there's probably alot I don't know about wifi antenna's.. I found some
good sites how to make.. but wow, some is confusing as hell. And scary
part is some things I haven't found a howto for at all.
First case being crimping. To make a long story short, I bought a wifi

I'm in an apartment building, there are 100s of AP's around here. When
I open Vista's wifi connection manager it is refreshing itself once
every second or so, and sorting it by the strongest signal. So every
second the list updates and shifts around, new AP's show up on the top

Jawel wij aardbewoners hebben er een nieuwe held bij !

Maar deze:

I currently have 802.11b Linksys (pre-Sisco) Wireless Access Point
Router (with 4-port switch) BEFW11S4. It works fine, though occasional
reboots are required.
At this time I would like to upgrade to "g" version, since I no longer

I would like to have some type of external antenna
that we could connect to with a laptop that would
serve to enhance our wifi reception when dealing
with weaker signals.  Realize the weather issues
