Wireless networks can also be on the same freq. but run seperate channels, such as 802.11 wireless computer networks.

802.11b is a global standard (a rare thing indeed!). Therefore with a multi-lateral roaming platform in place WiFi has the potential to become the de-facto standard for international remote-access wireless data services and utlimately, with VoIP, for voice too.\n\nI have 802.11b built in to my note book and do not have to have anything else except a WiFi area.\n\nthe letter after 802.11 is for the later upgraded editions.

look for 802.11g routers they are faster than 802.11b. look for one with long range it might be useful. Usually the more antennas the bigger the range.

There is no best one, however, your problems may be related to how you've set it up.\n\nThings to do:\n\nTurn off SSID broadcasting\nEnable MAC address filtering\nTurn on WEP or WPA encryption\nMake sure you're on a clear channel\n\nLastly, other devices, such as some cordless phones (those running on the 2.4ghz frequency) etc, can interfere with your wireless router.\n\nIf you've done all those things, and you still have problems, there may be issue's with that particular router, i.e., maybe it's a lemon.

If you live in a large apartment complex, it is likely that you can get a wireless adapter and get a signal from a wireless router of one of your neighbors who was foolish enough not to secure the network.  I just checked and I can get signals from 6 wireless networks besides my own and 3 of them are not encrypted.

I'll answer the question generally, since individual products may, as you suggest do a little looking around without telling you. You might want to watch the activity lights when you connect, and try to correlate them with the connection sequence. \n\nI'm assuming here that you have the commonest sort of arrangement, a router (connected to DSL, cable ? etc) and a laptop with a wireless client radio inside. \n\nEvery 'access point' (one type of radio operating mode) must broadcast a beacon signal to tell possible client radios in range something about itself. For 802.11 b/g (and probably n, but I haven't checked) the beacon is broadcast on the only channel that is legal everywhere, channel 10. It's also broadcast with the lowest possible legal speed. This means that any client 802.11 b/g radio in range will be able to hear and understand the beacon. \n\nOnce the client radio hears all the local beacons, it chooses one (usually based on signal strength) that it can interact with. So an 802.11b client radio, which knows nothing about 802.11g format signal types (ie, 'modulation schemes') won't be able to work with an 802.11g access point and both had better be willing to find the highest performance connection possible to both, in this case one of the 802.11b schemes, and not any of the 802.11g expanded schemes. \n\nThis takes a bit of time. but once both ends have discovered the highest performance configuration they can both support, the radios can actually tell the software (drives, operating system, ...) what's going one. At that point, Ip addresses have to be assigned to allow any traffic to and from the Net. If the Operating system is configured to use DHCP, it must contact the DHCP server it's been told about, and 'lease' an IP address from the block of addresses the  ISP has had assigned to it. Next time on the ISP, the IP address assigned might be entirely different. Or the Internet software using the client radio might have been given a permanent IP address (called 'static' address assignment in contrast to the 'dynamic' assignment under DHCP). \n\nAll of this takes time. Which further depends on the connection scheme (speed, modulation, etc) the radios have agreed on. So a marginal 802.11b connection (distant location, poor antenna placement, bad polarization match, ...) might only be able to manage the barest minimum, 1Mbps. A really good 802.11g connection, could use the highest speed possible. which will of course never be as fast as the ads claim. there is a good deal of handshaking and  timeout settings, and error announcement sent back to the other radio when found. \n\nAnd there is a backoff_and_try_a_lower_speed_connection negotiation when there are more than x errors (varies by manufacturer default, but is sometimes changeable by the user for a particular installation in the case of some utilities and software drivers). And an occasional try_to_use_a_better_speed_ connection if we haven't had errors in the most recent y seconds. Either requires another negotiation sequence, which again takes time. \n\nAnd, if the range is marginal (almost too far away) there will not only be automatic up regulation attempts, and perhaps some down regulation attempts, but more a few entire reestablish_the_connection restarts as signal drops below the radio's sensitivity threshold (all real world equipment has them). \n\nAnd some operating systems take their own sweet time to recognize a new device (in Windows, you may have to run the add_new_hardware wizard in the control panel manually. Sometimes the whole add new hardware routine more than once to succeed.  \n\nFinally, on initial start up, most browsers depend not only on hardware initialization, connection negotiation, DHCP negotiation, and so on. But also must do a DNS lookup, and download the current versions of a 'home page' (which may be larded with images from many other sites). It can

Wireless network access points. Because when you use ad-hoc you have to depend on a computer and if the computer somehow fails or goes laggy the other computer gets affected.

You can set up the security key  for your wireless network. It's like a password, everyone wants to use your network has to use this key.   \n\n. Because you will need a default password to access this feature, you should check the manual or any provided intruction to help you.

When you get an IP conflict like the one you have described, there is an other router in the aria with the same IP... You will have to do a serch for wireless networks, then delete all but yours from the list....

Wireless connection can be affected by several factors, such as Speed Enemies, which can greatly interrupt your wireless signals. Examples are cellphones, some antenna equipments (Radio or TV) and even solid walls.\n\nTry situating the router nearer to your desktop, you should also check the security settings of your router to ensure that no one is hopping on your internet connection, this definitely slows down your speed. Use MAC filtering if there is and password-protect your connection with a 128-bit WEP key. Disable broadcast of SSID to avoid it being seen by free-riders.\n\nHope it helps...

Almost all wireless routers have a utility screen that allows you to "see" the wireless connections that are present. You can always ping your networks broadcast address to invoke activity from all "listening" devices, and then check the computer arp table to see a list of devices.

Hi,\n\nI hope they're not just wireless receivers otherwise no transmission can occur ;)\n\nOk seriously, for a small network, all you need is your two Wi-Fi cards. You connect them using Wi-Fi's ad-hoc mode. It's peer-to-peer networking for Wi-Fi.\n\nIf you're building a Wi-Fi network with more than a handful of computers, you'll want to use infrastructure mode, which will require a wireless access point.\n\nIf the guy you're helping out is using WinXP, check out the link below (in sources) for some handy pre-reading info.\n\nHTH

I doubt it. Most wireless problems turn out to be signal strength problems, interference issues, or bad security configuration.

Since you are asking for a lot of information, I will give you a pointer instead of typing it all in.  This should help you quite a bit.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_routers#Types_of_routers\n\nGood luck,\nJeffrey

I would look for sources of interference such as cordless phones and microwaves.  Make sure there are no metal objects between the laptop and the access point.  Use NetStumbler to find out if you have neighbors with wireless.  It will tell you which channels are free.  Try to use 1, 6, or 11 if you can.  They are the only ones that don't overlap each other.\n\nI wouldn't mess with your antenna.  Higher gain does not mean better reception.  When you manipulate power and gain, you change the shape of the coverage.  In some special cases it could help but your AP is probably tuned correctly out of the box.

Both 802.11B and 802.11G operate in the 2.4GHz range.  This is an unregulated band and is heavily occupied by many devices including other WLANs and wireless telephones in your neighborhood.  Both 802.11B and B have support for multiple channels, if you haven't already, try using different channels.
