and for under 70$

thats the problem with antiquated technology, especially confuser hardware, every 90 days its oldhat.

To answer your question ... To interface to other equipment that one already has ...

However in this case it doesn't matter does it ? or did I miss something ?

go on ebay and see if you can find this for 10 bucks bro.. either your tryin to be funny or your smoking crack andi dont find that funny Yes the router is a, b but the card is a,b,g. 11mbs is fine for most people. Like i said i just dont use the wireless anymore. 1st the walls in my 1930's house are too thick to get a good signal on the front porch 2nd. like i said i sold my old desktop no no router is needed. just the laptop.

actually, thats a very old email, since thye kidney transplant and open heart surgery, I dont consider myself a pot head anymore, occasionally to help sleep, or at at a concert. I still love pot, but with my health, I need all the energy I can muster. And more than a puff or two gets me to down to enjoy anything.

Never smoked crack and I was being funny, And Ebay is not where I would shop,

I find it amusing how defensive people get when you state your opinion that a item is overpriced.

Already discounted 20$ Do I hear 70$
That will buy a new G router.

Cheers

faster100

so is the notebook card a newer G card? make me a deal on this, i have a router already... do you have to have a G router and G card to get the faster throughput, it only does 11 mbs either way anyways right??

pixiedave

To get the 54 rate on the card you need a g router, but you can have a g router and a b card and card will work at 11. Vise versa too.

You guys are talking like 11 mbs is dog **** slow. Unless you're running a LAN in your house with several PC's all running a high graphics game networked, then 11 mbs is way faster than really any person in a home could need.

Think about it...DSL connections get maybe 750 kbs and cable connections get somewhere between 1 - 3 mbs. 11mbs is more than enough.

From what I can see, the only thing 802.11G is good for is distance. If you're running a wireless connection and decide to take your laptop out quite a distance from the router, then go for the G. Otherwise, stick with the cheaper priced 802.11B.

As far as encryption goes, I haven't checked into whether the new WPA encryption is only available in G or in all of them.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) would be the better choice over the older WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).

11 mbps is just theorhetical isn't it? our home network is wired and capable of 10 mbps iirc, but I guarantee you there is a speed difference between the cable modem hooked straight up to a machine and the cable modem running through two hubs. (even with all the other machines on the network turned off/not using bandwidth)

faster100

So will a G notebook card get better distance even with a 802.11B router? or does all have to be G ??

PolkWannabie

Actually my cable connection to the net is about 10 times that fast i.e. ~8mbps or ~1mBps ...

But This is still significantly slower than 802.11b.

So G is great if you are moving a lot of stuff around on your lan ... But it won't gain you anything to the outside world, at least not where I live, for a long time.

6 computers 2 on a wap

a file server UNIX
a web and mail server unix
A windows box
A g4 Powerbook
and believe it or not, A Plan 9 Box

and even if I wasnt running a lan, 11 is too slow for me, Hell 54 is slow, Try serving Gigabyte wav files to iTunes on my G4 wirelessly to play through my polks. My ethernet lan is gigabyte, and I would wire the laptop, but the wife is about fed up with the wires from audio computers and aquariums lol.

There shouldn't be ... In my case there isn't. The hubs should be 10/100 or if you went hog wild 10/100/1000. In any case the router and the hubs or switches should not be slowing anything down.

Right ... so the prob is the WAF. Not atypical in either audio or computers. Gigabit is overkill. Nice, but overkill.

Are we talkinng hubs or switches, A hub shares bandwidth, so a hub will slow down coming from a modem, a switch however provides full bandwidth to all confusers on lan.

I go Modem>FreeBSD(as router, hides other computers from comcast this way)>switch>lan>wap

PolkWannabie

You're right ... it's been awhile since I put my SWITCHES in which I did for exactly that reason.

And you're talking gigaBIT, right ?

10/100/1000 its all the same when it comes to hubs or switches as far as i know!

PolkWannabie

Same ? ... Yes.

mBps ? ... I don't think so ...

Of course speed is different, I was reffering to hub vs switch for bandwith thruput.

PolkWannabie

I know ... I was referring to your description of your network.

Ok so dont buy the thing. Its good for home use with a single to 2 computers if you want Wireless. not everyone has to have the most newest technology out. You wont really gain anything on a g router like stated above.

Pauly

Bottom line G is only good for transfering data between computers on your LAN. (11mps b, vs 54 g) G will not gain any speed on the internet PERIOD! Not even pixie dust will fix that!:) My last try before the i have to go through the hassle of ebay.

70.00 SHIPPED is all i can really do. If you can find a better deal then let me know cause i cant.

I never said I needed it, never claimed it would speed up internet over a aor b. In my application, It serves files from file server two two computers in other parts of the house. In this instance, 11 is way to slow, because a lot of the files being server are large wav files. Saying that, i dont see how anybody with a connection faster than dsl (not much faster than dial up)could live with a 11 connection. My only comment was that you have an outdated router and its not worth what your asking. I hope you get your asking price.
I was just trying to be humourous about the 10 dollar comment, but as is so often the case on message boards, meanings are lost due to the lack of facial expressions body posture and so on.

As is also often the case, the value we place on a item is not what the items market value is.

A friend gave me a old Compaq. All documentation was there, Including the price sheet. In 94 this pc sold for 1900 dollars. It had a 500mb harddrive, 4 mgs of memory and a 14k modem. It runs windows 3.11. It is in perfect working order. The computer was his moms and he asked me what I coyuld get for it. I asked what she thought it was worth for a chuckle, and her reply was 500 dollars.

In computer hardware tuerms its a horse drawn carriage and is worth less than the price of a new floppy drive.

But even year old hardware suffers this kind of depreciation.

Hope you don't take this as argumentative, just expressing a view. Peace dave

Whoa ...

I'm not wild about DSL, as in this area cable is significantly faster, but in any case even DSL in this area is significantly faster than dial up and beyond that no one that I know anywhere has a personal connection to the internet that runs faster than the 11 mbps limitation of 802.11b.

Am I missing something ?

Pauly

its cable/dsl compatible just in case there was any confusion

PolkWannabie

LOL ...

Right Spaz and I apologize for hijacking your thread ... I wish I needed one as I almost feel I owe it to you to buy it at this point.
