Topic: Wireless Modem

[ssj4gogita4]

We have recently switched from wired internet to wireless. It's not working on my computer yet but it is on everyone elses. I would like to hear ya'lls opinions about wireless

Wireless is stupid and pointless unless you use a laptop and can't stay in one place. And it's not a wireless modem, it's a wireless router. I have it on my Dell and it disconnects all the time.

I have it on my computer. It works relatively well until we get a phone call. Our cordless phones(Which are in all the rooms) has the same frequency as my router, so I get disconnected alot. Other than that I can't really complain.

I have no problems with it.

I have wireless It has only disconnect once execpt when i turn my router Off.

Bah, I hope you dont have 802.11a, its the worst. Also wireless sucks badly unless you have a laptop. Its very vulnerable to wardriving attacks and it not fast at all 54mbps actually runs at about 22mbps (4.5 times slower than wired).

I say you upgrade to Gigabit wired.

I have 802.11/2.4GHz Wireless PCI Adapter...its 54 mbps

I'm a fan of wireless.  When people bring over laptops, its a lot more convenient to have them connect to my 802.11g router wirelessly than stringing ethernet across my room.  I have cat5 cables wired through my walls to much of my house, so the desktops are all wired.  I use wireless for my Pocket PC as well.

Anyway, my wireless access is in no way vulnerable.  I use 128bit encryption as well as MAC Address filtering.  It would take a LOT of time and effort to break in.  Speed is rarely a problem.  My internet connection never exceeds 1.5mbps, far short of 54, 22, or 11 mbps, so the wireless connection is not a bottleneck.  It is only a problem when transferring large numbers of large files, in which case, I wire the two computers together with a 100mbit connection.

I'll vouch for wireless being handy, especially when I drop by to visit
The quality of your wireless connection depends on who installs and configures it. I have had very little trouble with any of my wireless stuff.

Wireless is VERY insecure, people can use yours and they can find out where you live by just hacking into your system.

That's a bunch of bull, don't believe   any of it because it's a lie.

[AppleNick]

SSS, don't lie. People can't tell where you live by cracking wireless. I bet LANPartyMaker has hacked me, I have wireless, and he hasn't showed up at my door. O_o

[super_sayian_spongebob]

You know it's a proven fact!!!

[RandomDude18]

No it's not, your most likely just making this up or whoever told you is making it up.
