Just use four or five extension cords. That's what my grandfather did until his house burnt down.

Plug 'em in the wall and convert the other end to USB ports or Ethernet connections. I hear if you use USB ports you can leave the other end plugged in while you work.

How big is your house? My wireless resides in the basement and I can get an "excellent" signal two floors up, or even outside on my deck. Heck I can even hang out on the Planet while I'm on the crapper. You setting up a neighborhood hot spot?

dont get a repeater, youll just run into problems. Repeaters dont extend ranges, they just boost the shitty signal that your router is already transmitting. And they do not work with all wireless cards, only with ones that are able to see 2 SSID's from it's utility. Integrated wireless cards are unable to see 2 SSID's from the XP utility. . If you want to boost your signal, get an antenna. Or...get a wired connection. never fails..

The interesting thing (geek-wise anyway) is that it'll work with 802.11b clients but not 802.11b AP/Routers.

I reccomend TCP/IP via carrier pigeon for those on the go. Sure it's difficult to lug all of their pens around with you, but it actually works.

Makes no sense to me. 802.11g is downwardly compatible, or so I thought.

BTW, why is this in the main forum?

Abusing your overlord powers again?
