What do you think about this??
I'm moving this year to a new house, so I'm saving some money doing jobs and stuff for get cool wireless stuff in my new house so I can get a nice range. I have got for now a 2Wire Wireless Router from my ISP, in my dad's laptop is the Wireless 1350 802.11b/g WLAN Mini PCI (it sucks, I know that ) a Linksys Wireless-G USB Adapter, (it sucks too but it's okay), So I'm thinking about getting a laptop for me, and get a Hi-Gain Wireless-G Laptop Card for my new coming laptop, (I hope) and for my dad's laptop. I was thinking in buying one of those for now because it seems that it should give better range, (I have some dead spots) you would say better get an antenna for your 2Wire, but it doesn't have how to plug one. And I would get a new router, though. But I'm not sure if is true about that network card.


What I want to do in my new house is to have an outdoor antenna and nice adapters for my laptop, so I can be in whateaver place in the house, and in the front of it is a park, (it is crossing the street) so it would be really cool that I could get a chair and sit in a tree there. Not a damn large range because I won't offer free wireless Internet, (even I would have encryption but you know that is easy to hack them). I would like good suggestions for an access point, network cards (for laptops) and an outdoor antenna.

Thanks.

You've been a member a whole 20 minutes. Go back and read the Rules and all the other info in the Welcome Desk. Then Search and lurk for a week to a month. We don't spoonfeed here.

Such setups have been discussed before. SEARCH. When you have questions about specific products, we can probably give definative answers.

Using "hack" in this manner is apt to set people's teeth on edge and get you pegged as an idiot. We are hackers, and hate to see the mass media negative connotations of the word. Smarten up, or you won't last long.

Damn I was wondering what my teeth were doing. Geez, now why is my sphincter puckering and unpuckering?

I'm not going even think about that one. It's probably just as well that HiqhWizard hasn't been around the NS Forums lately.

Since you aren't writing to us while landing a F-18 in gale force winds at night on a carrier (thats the ultimate pucker factor), I'd guess its the easter dinner with the in-laws that is the cause of your minimal sphincter size.
Just remember it could be worse. Like having to go dancing at the Blue Oyster bar from the Police Academy movies...

if my brain serves me correct from when I worked for SBC dsl the 2wire modem/router does not have an external jack for another antenna.
now the 2wire DOES have WEP turned on by default so thats a plus.
Personally I would get a normal DSL modem (recommend the Efficient 5100 B model) and get a 3rd party router.. one where you can change said antenna to.. OR... if you wanna get "fancy" and have the bucks to do it.. get the Netopia 3547 dsl router. It offers wifi via a PCMCIA slot in the back (aka you add a wifi card) I do not know if it will work with Orinoco gold card but if it should, you now have a nice wifi range, plus the ability to add external antenna.
