New wireless setup
I just picked up a Netgear MR814 and some kind of Netgear card today. I have everything running smooth and such, but for some reason, I'm not really digging this whole wireless thing. Granted, it is nice being able to sit where ever I want to....surf the web. But, that's all I can really do right now.
I have a Linksys 4 port router that I've been using for my wired LAN for over 2 years. Never failed me one ounce. Now I have this one and I can't access the other computers on the LAN since they are on a different network. So, it's kind of a waste if I can't access all of my resources.
Why not hook the other computers to the Netgear you ask? Well, I can't because the AP is up stairs so I can get a strong signal while the Linksys is in the basement next to the DSL modem. I had hoped that the signal would be strong enough to reach upstairs, but that is a no go. Oh well. Maybe when I wake up in the morning I will have a clearer head to make the best out of this situation...
...or else take this get up back to the store!
