Pendragon Posted July 8, 2002 Posted July 8, 2002 Well DSL runs at 1.4 megs and a wireless card accesses at a 10 - 22 mb band with. You should still get full connection. Unless ofcourse you encase everything in lead! LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted July 8, 2002 Posted July 8, 2002 Well.. If you already have it, the best way would be to hook it up and give it a try. Tho, you do realize than anyone else with a wireless port (Palm, Laptop, etc) can now access your network, don't you? Oh yeah, and when I was working with BS.net, one of the major issues we ran into is that the wireless signal would impeede on the DSL signal... that and 2.4Ghz phones, street lamps, etc... just watch the placement of the device, and you should be ok... unsecure, but ok.
