want free internet come on over to so cal

[urbanfox]

Problem: We moved and the room configuration/network port access changed.
Sister needs internet in her room to use her PS2.

Solution: Buy a wireless adapter for the PS2 by big name Linksys who is owned by network specialist Cisco.

Problem: Piece of **** won't connect to my 108mbs netgear wireless router with ANY router security features.

Solution: Let's open the damn router to the whole world and enable SSID.

Problem: I live in a community predominately settled by koreans... not to say that asian's are pricks because my best friends are twins that are thai, but it goes without saying im at risk a lot more than say if i was in a black community.

Solution: NONE. Keep the damn thing open because my dad wants my sister to have internet.

So, in conlcusion, come on down to 1001 starbuck street in fullerton, california to get free internet.


**** YOU LINKSYS.

Perhaps some other solutions:

1. Buy a compatible wireless adapter?
2. Drop the power output of the adapter/router by reducing the voltage - therefore dropping the range.
3. Place mental objects of needed thinkness around the adapters to limit their range.
4. Is it really that impossible to use a cable? Im not sure about the PS2's network capabilities, but 1000/100 is available to wired networks.

1)they all suck except for bridges which would cost me another $80
of course its not impossible to use a cable... but who the hell puts a 100ft or whatever cable across bedrooms and hallways etc etc etc

Well it seems common sense to me, that when you buy a wireless device, you buy them all of the same brand due to all the crap that gets posted about brand2brand compatibilty.

As for the wiring, we have most the terminals in this house wired as its the best Cost&Speed option. Not mentioning that it can work in both directions at the same time, unlike wireless. The only machine that isn't wired in this house is the one in the games room, because we can't be bothered to get a wire there and its hardly used, so some cheap USB wireless dongles are used.

Ive got the same problem, I cant get the SSID to work with my bros PC. If i put ANY type of security on, his PC wont pick it up @ all. So atm, ive got the security on, and hes connecting using a connection called 'Danny Home', Must be someone who lives neatr by ^__^

i have like 3 different brands on my network all working fine before, this item just sucks. and wiring isnt the best speed/cost item.... we would have to get someone in here and wire the whole damn house. Besides, the connectivity is great and my rated speeds is up to 108mbs, which of course i don't connect to 108, but i usally get in the 80-90's, which is just as good as wired.

Well imagine how the company's who decide to implement wifi all over the building feel when they have 100 wifi receivers, but 10 access points that don't work with them . Thats why you should do a google search for compatibility first.

Wire is the best cost/speed option. Gigabit ethernet would slash your punny wifi anyday. Even 100 mbit wired ethernet would slash your wifi in tests where files are sent backwards and forwards at the same time (since wifi is incapable of doing so).

WiFi should only be used when wiring is not possible. We kust drilled holes where we needed to get wires through, not an expensive or hard task. Should be even easier for you since your in america... and houses there are primarily wood rather than brick (due to ur climate).

...hmmm yes ok

So let me get this straight... instead of just buying some $65 device where i can just get it set up emmediately you want me to drill holes through give or take 6 walls, wire it through 2 10+ foot walls and piss off my parents...

All to use for a PS2 that will never exceed using probably 512kbit....

You must be a cable repair man lol

You need a Netgear 108mbps adapter.

The problem is that each company implement their own form of these connections, which is always a kick in the teeth. Usually, buying the same brand gets around this problem.

Surely you can broadcast your SSID but restrict access via your MAC addresses.
This would, although letting people see your network, stop them connecting to it.
Also, you can encrypt the data being sent so nothing can be done that way.

netgear doesnt have an adapter for em at all :/ i heard this unti sucked in general though... bah maybe ill just return it.

when i input the ssid it wont connect if it doesnt broadcast and ive tried mac filtering of course and it wouldnt connect them either. i tried encrypting the data at 128bit +- and still no connection.
