Do they do any good? http://blog.rv.net/2010/02/wi-fi-a-b...get-you-a-bett... or:http://tinyurl.com/ylbh98k John, I use the Linksys Wireless-G USB adapter on a couple of my systems, and each comes with a 6' cable. The Linksys USB adapter works well and it's well supported (other than the fact that support for legacy adapters with Windows 7 is pitiful). I've worked with a couple of other USB Wireless adapters, though, I favor Linksys. If you really want to have some fun, though, make a cantenna. The results can be more than satisfying. Thanks, J. Now, what's a cantenna? Is that the 'coffee can' referred to earlier? Since Harry contributed absolutely nothing of positive value or substance, I'll answer by saying that a cantenna can be made from coffee cans, which is what I've done in the past. But, I've read cases in which they've been made from Pringles cans, among other things. But a cantenna generically can also refer to any home-made directional device that picks up wireless signals. To make a cantenna function correctly, though, you need to have specific data for the build, though not always comprehensible, and that's easily available on the web.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - That's because Harry knows nothing technical, but just wants to be noticed, so he comes here and acts like an asshole. Psssst. Loog. He's not acting. |
