Gajberless is active!

From today, my home network is active and is wireless! Ok, that is something I planed since I bought my PocketPC, so you can imagine how happy I am. To get you familiar with my achived goals with wifi network, I’ll start with hardware.

First, my home PC – Pentium 4 (nothing special when it compares with today usuall specs); then ADSL+ modem which I got from my “local” net provaider (very cheap, but work like a charm); HP iPAQ for handy access to the network; and last my work-horse – the Toshiba Tecra A9! “But wait, there is more!” And betwen them is “Linksys WRT54GC wireless-G router” as connection link. With all this parts of my home network, now I can test my networking skills in real world. Finally!

If you want some more specs about my home PC, look at your PC that you use for reading this blog and admit that is better then P4! For iPAQ series, look for a info on HP’s site, and for ADSL modem don’t bother to look any info – you are using a much more faster speed then I am.
Now, the first step of make your wireless router to work is – buy it first! My suggestion is not to look to far from Linksys solutions. Why? Because, I bought my w-router and got stuned – everything worked with few clicks on next, yes and finally yes! Without fun, I make it work as I thought and planed. Only setup that I make is about security. I aded some WPA2 phrase and enable MAC filtering to stop roaming intruders.

And that’s it! Very simple, but disapointing for someone who planed to play with settings. But work as it should.

More info in a few days, when I got more stuff to write about it…

 

From now on, I don't have to kill somebody to get online...
