<0> when i download (via http) fileA, i get 200KB/s. when i download fileB, i get 13KB/s. however, if other people on my subnet grab fileB, they get 200KB/s. how can i figure out what's causing fileB to transfer slowly?
<1> hi
<2> hm
<2> if I have an ethernet printer, would I want a wireless bridge or wireless access point to get it onto a wireless network?
<3> JoeMamma: AP, probably.
<2> yea?
<2> I heard bridge from a few people
<2> and ap from a few others lol
<3> JoeMamma: Ok.
<3> JoeMamma: Do you even know what you want?
<3> I mean...
<3> What do you want?
<2> ok
<2> I have a printer with an ethernet port, I ahve an IP staticly ***igned to it in the config
<2> but I want to plug it into something so it can get onto my wireless network
<2> so I don't have to go walk over and plug the ethernet into my laptop whenever I want to pring something
<3> Ok.
<3> So you want to plug it to.. your switch?
<3> Or a switch that's embedded into a home wireless router?
<2> I want to plug it into something that'll act as a bridge onto the wireless network
<2> the router isn't near the printer
<2> or else I'd just plug it into the printer
<3> So where are you plugging it?
<2> I've been plugging it into my laptop...
<2> I need to buy something else is wha ti'm saying
<3> Oh.
<3> The printer is not near any active network device, such as a router, hub, switch?
<2> no
<2> I have a wireless router
<2> like 40 ft from it
<2> I could run a cable but i'd rather use the wireless
<3> How many systems on your network?
<2> like 3
<3> All wireless?
<2> yea
<2> there's no cable in the room where the printer is though
<2> or else I'd move the router and modem to there
<2> and there's no where to put the printer near the router
<3> Can't you put the printer near the router?
<3> You can opt to spend less money but do more work while running a cable from the printer to the router, or
<2> there's no where fo rit to go
<3> you can choose to spend more money and work less by buying a wireless AP/client device that you can plug to the printer.
<2> that's what I want
<2> so it's a wireless access point?
<2> I just wasn't sure if I eneded a wireless access point or wireless bridge
<3> JoeMamma: Yup, a wireless ethernet bridge.
<2> ok cool
<2> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833190004
<2> so that wouldn't work?
<3> It really depends on the hardware.
<3> For instance, the Linksys WET54G is ~70 bucks.
<2> yea i'm looking for something cheaper than that
<2> lol
<3> For that money, you can always get a WRT and run DD-WRT or something.
<3> Yea, I'm just saying.
<3> If you can load a different, better firmware into an access point ,sometimes you can use them as wireless clients when they aren't made for that in reality.
<2> yea I don't think i'll find anything like that for this one
<3> I don't think you will be able to find anything below $50.
<2> so it's a wireless bridge I want?
<3> Yes, but don't automatically ***ume that anything labeled 'wireless bridge' is going to be fine.
<2> k
<3> 'wireless' and 'bridge' are very ambiguous words in the networking business ;)
<3> For instance, these two will do: http://xrl.us/ueeh
<2> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833203003
<2> that looks like it'd work
<4> if you research a bit you can find WRT54G's by Linksys for around 50 to 60 ...
<4> and there is very good custom firmware made for those
<3> [W0LF]: Exactly. I think a WRT is cheaper than a 'bridge' device.
<2> wrt54g, that's a router isn't it?
<4> yes
<3> JoeMamma: Yeah, that last URL you pasted will do.
<2> I have one of those...
<2> redondos: k thought so, thanks
<4> but the custom firmware boosts it to almost 5 times signal strength
<2> really?
<2> I remember seeing those
<2> but didn't want to risk ****ing my firmware
<3> http://wiki.openwrt.org/Faq#head-90c2e50fca397125fd055d4f9d06ba3b07b8b9a8
<3> (must click on "this")
<2> hm
<2> my wrt54g randomly disconnects me and then I can't connect to it for like 2-5 minutes
<2> while the wired stays fine
<2> would changing the firmware fix that?
<3> Doubt it.
<2> I have two and they both do it
<3> It surely is due to intereference or low signal.
<3> s/ref/rf/
<2> I don't think so
<2> I changed the channel
<2> an dran net stumbler
<2> and nothing else was running on that channel
<3> Yeah well...
<3> Nothing 802.11b/g
<2> even at my house, I live in a very secluded area. no other wirelss networks around it
<3> Yeah, no other 802.11b/g networks. :)
<2> but it still disconnects randomly...
<2> I think its' just the router being retarded
<3> Anyway, I'm saying that there are other things that operate in the same range. The most common being cordless 2.5GHz phones, second most common being Bluetooth (at 2.45GHz).
<3> If you blame it on the router, then definitely try the alternative firmwares.
<2> alright
<2> hm
<3> Some of them are really cool (read: dd-wrt and openwrt)
<2> are they semi easy to setup?
<3> Try the former, it's a piece of cake.
<2> similar setup to the standard linksys web interface?
<3> Yeah.
<2> k cool
<2> am I able to revert back if it's ****ed up?
<3> Hm.
<3> You are, yes.
<3> Remember to save the configuration first, though.
<2> yea
<3> You won't need it, though.
<2> I'd have to save the firmware though
<3> There's no reason to go back.
<3> Nah, download the latest linksys firmware, flash it, save config. Flash dd-wrt. Enjoy.
<2> true
<3> Night, man.
<2> thanks
<5> hello, im trying to share my folder with others on the workgroup network
<5> people can read the files no problems, but they can't delete them, nor create a folder, etc.
<5> i have ticked 'full control' 'change' and 'read' on the actual share name (In My Computer->Manage)
<5> and then on the actual physical folder ive ticked 'full control' 'change' and 'read'
<5> hello, im trying to share my folder with others on my small workgroup network
<5> people can read the files in the folder no problems, but they can't delete them, nor create a folder, etc.
<5> i have ticked 'full control' 'change' and 'read' on the actual share name (In My Computer->Manage)
<5> and then on the actual physical folder, ive ticked 'full control' 'change' and 'read'
<5> sorry i keep getting kicked
<6> mornin snowebabe
<7> mornin hon
<5> i have a question about networking
<8> hello! is this a channel where you can get ethernet help or am i way off?
<9> you can sometimes get help
<8> ok ill give it a shot then
<8> i have a new router and my internet is really slow
<8> 3com officeconnect cable/dsl router
<9> is it set to get a wan ip address automatically, or did you type one in?
<8> my isp provides me with ip
<9> a static ip?
<8> no
<9> automatic then?
<8> or atleast i dont think its static
<8> yea
<8> automatic
<8> dynamic
<9> hmm, I was thinking maybe you typed in the wrong numbers, but if its automatic, that part shouldnt be causing the problem
<8> and my telephoe dont work atm so i cannot call support
<8> it feels like surfing with 28.8k modem
<9> are there lights that show the connection speed on the wan? like 10 or 100?
<8> yea if they are orange its 10mbit and green 100mbit
<8> all are green
