Re: internet wireless network requirements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



If I recall correctly, dlink has a couple of cards with bigger antenna's for send/receive power, that are on an external cable. They also have a relatively cool wireless repeater you can use to extend the range of your wireless network
that either works with a wall-wart or PoE.

As far as what you're going to need in your specific installation, it really
depends highly on the composition of the floor/walls.  Concrete/steel likes
to block wireless *really* seriously.  In extreme cases, I'd put a repeater
on the top floor, one in the stairwell, and another on your floor, halfway
in between you and the stairwell.

There are a lot more expensive higher-end range solutions as well.

I currently am using CentOS 4.4 desktop computer. What would I need to recieve an internet signal from a wireless router that is connected to an Apple computer that is located upstairs? I am in the basement less than 150 feet from the Apple computer. I do not have wireless card in the CentOS desktop computer and am looking for a card to install to accomplish this.
