Have three Linksys wrt54g's (not the gs model,Thanks very much for the help Peter, I'll think hard abouth getting
got the g's at walmart for about $48 bucks each). Have one in the
house (sat in, no dsl or cable here in the boonies), and a hardwire
to the garage (along with power/phone/cable TV/intercom etc, where I
have a second) and then from there to an outbuilding(cabin) (a few
hundred feet back on the property, with power/phone/cable/etc
.../hardwired from the garage, I call it the back 4, cuz I have a 5
acre chunk, and the house is on the front 1).. Why the same ssid and
channel? Don't care which I connect to, I just want to connect and
stay connected from my laptop as I walk around. Why three wrt54g's?
cuz they are everything in one box (wap and router), and having
three the same means I can swap em for debugging... The wag is a wap
only (no router).. and the specifics are to go from the output of
one router to the input of the next wap/router (since you don't have
the router part, wouldn't work for you).
Help any?
hold of another Linksys wireless router. FYI, I'm in pretty much the
same boat as you. I live on the Isle of Arran off the west coast of
Scotland and we have only just got ADSL (512kb) and as the farmhouse
is predominately granite, radio don't propagate too well :) It would
be nice to be able to get online when I'm in the workshop accross the
yard without running an underground cable to the house.
Thanks for the help.
Regards, Jeff.
Just to be clear, it IS an undergound cable(s) (direct burial, 1 power and 1
20 pair utility in the same trench), direct wired to 3 different wireless
AP's.. I trenched from the house to the garage to run 150 amp/240 power (for
the arc welder), and decided to run a 20 pair utility cable in the same
ditch (phone/cable tv/network/intercom/power controller etc), to be able to
add almost anything I could think of... same to the back of the property...
We get about 8ft of snow where I live, made more sense to go underground
with a cable, rather than have to dig tunnels in the snow for wireless (not
to mention wired works faster, handy for the terabyte of network storage and
backup)..
Interestingly enuf, I routinely transfer 100MB + files over the wireless and
never have problems (unless the roomie uses the microwave at the same time),
but routinely have problems with the sat downloads getting errors. I would
suspect either you have interference, or your adsl is causing problems. If
you don't need super high speed (like I did), you may want to look at
PowerLine networking, a lot of older places already have power wires in em,
and while limited to 14Mb speeds, is way way faster than your adsl anyway,
and you can use the power line network devices as input to as many waps as
you need (you have to plug em in anyway for power, so why not use the wiring
for data too?
