why does internet have to cost so much??

[alvino]

Hmm...you might want to research the right router though. Most home networking routers have a pretty short range...you might detect it, but it might not be close enough to transmit data. My Netgear router has a wireless range of about 100ft. but the range of actual data transfer is less than half of that.

Or another solution is to have your sister get a Linksys router and have her buy the Hi-Gain antennas to see if the range gets extended enough.

hmm, i dunno, my mom told me they dont let us get 3meg since we dont have tv with them, tommorow im gonna have to give them a call about that....

Your cable company won't let you get internet cause you don't have a TV service activated with them?

You must have the crappest router on planet, my wireless can reach well far, I mean like a 3min walk away from the house and you'll see my connection.

Im on 20mb broadband from Virgin AkA Telewest (uk company), we pay for the XL package in everything apart from phone because I speak to my ex to much on mobile and it cost to much, but anyway are internet is freakin shit hot

There is a difference between getting a connection and actually being able to transfer data through that connection. For mine I can get a connection from a good distance, but being able to browse the internet, download things etc without waiting for my hair to turn grey doesn't work after I pass a certain distance.

What rouer do you have?

 

[superman22x]

A wireless N router should be able to reach that far...

Mines just a standard Netgear 802.11a/b/g router.

Lucky you. I wish I could afford a Wireless N router. They're so expensive even for a draft standard.

Oh and mind you, 802.11n routers do have about double the range and can transfer data back and forth a lot faster than 802.11g. Man...technology moves fast. Now I can't wait to see what WiMAX is capable of.
