I ordered a power supply through eBay and it arrived this morning in the mail.\u00a0 It came from guess where – Hong Kong.\u00a0 Price $5.99 Shipping $6.99.\u00a0 Anyway, the DLINK WLAN is working again.<\/p>\n
I had to fiddle with it for some time to get the thing going.\u00a0 I use a 8 port DLINK Router A for the front-end and the WLAN B is behind the firewall: router A is agood one with a lot of features.\u00a0 I hooked the LAN side of switch B to the\u00a0 router A.\u00a0 I could ping anything behind the fire wall but not outside on the Internet.\u00a0 I scratched my head for a while and then decided to try to change the routing table to connect all traffice from LAN B address\u00a0 to Router A address.\u00a0 Bingo everything worked like a champ.<\/p>\n
I then added WEP 128 bit strength to just put a little of a challenge to someone wanting access.\u00a0 There is no way anyone can park close enough to hack into the network unless they sit in my driveway.\u00a0 The neighbors are sufficiently far to make it difficult to hack in without having a yagi or panel pointed at me & I would see that eventually anyway.<\/p>\n
I am sitting at the kitchen table writing this blogline.\u00a0 Jess will appreciate the wireless part when she comes home for Christmas.\u00a0 Actually, this was the router used at Purdue for several years.\u00a0 I am thinking about a “N” router:\u00a0 I am favoring the Linksys 54 as it is a cheap way to get N speeds.\u00a0 The Pcmcia cards are only $20, so I could be up and running at N speeds for $75.\u00a0 I really do not need the speed but would like the 5X distance you get with MIMO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
