I have finally gotten moved in snd trying to get it set up. I need to ask another question from you. Its probably a dumb question but I have been on DSL for years and I own a 2wire 1000HG gateway, can i use it in conjunction with my sb5101 as a wireless accss point?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20815262 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:39:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20736884 fromzero : be careful running line through heating ducts unless it is only temporary. If you go to sell your house it will fail code in most areas. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20736884 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:58:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20735259 markopoleo : I got the D-Link DIR-655 wireless router. It supports draft N spec to. Its on the expensive side..like $100-120.

BUT I get wireless access pretty much down the end of my street, pretty impressive to me. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20735259 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:59:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20735130 Lazlow : If you cannot get the signal through to the second floor, it is usually not that big of a deal to run Ca6 from your router to another router (or access point) on the second floor. I like to put them in bathroom closets becuase you can usually just follow the plumbing without cutting any holes. I have also ran them through central heating ducts.

Edit: This may effect where you want the modem installed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20735130 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:58:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20735085 pbarrow : They are all limited in power by the FCC so if it can't get throught your walls and floors then it can't.
I'd stay with Linksys or Dlink.
I've read the placement and angle can be important in getting through walls and foors if it can at all.
I've no experience with wireless but I think in the network settings you can see the strengh of any "wireless networks" available and have someone else adjust the antennas and postions so that you get the best signal strength.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20735085 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:38:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20733946 danstar25 : Im using in a two story house. Not sure if you call that significant range? 802.11g is what im looking for.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20733946 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:13:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20733785 defiant : Compatibility really isn't an issue.

I've been using a Linksys WRT54G for 2 years now and can't complain.

What are you looking for in a wireless access point/router? Something with significant range? Faster than 802.11G speeds?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20733785 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:45:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20733721 danstar25 : Im getting cable from charter in a few days and need help suggestions please. From what ive read the sb5100 is one of the best modems. I need and access point to accomidate a few laptops in the house. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am unsure of compatibility or if that is even an issue.
Thanks]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20733721 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:33:18 EDT
