Yes. You will need one of our wireless range extenders which will service as the Internet source which you plug into the WAN port of your router. This arrangement is very similar to connecting to a cable or DSL modem, you just connect to TexMesh range extender instead.

There is no easy answer for this, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Consider also that all the DrayTek models with WLAN built-in also have the 4-port switch - so you can use both wired and wireless connections in the same LAN. Not always convenient to run the cables through the house or office - particularly for rented premises. Note however that the older slower 802.11B speed of 11Mbps is still faster than the 8Mbps max. speed for ADSL technology, let alone the 1.

Absolutely. In fact, a combination of home networking products is often the best way to meet your home's needs. Check out the How to Get Started Home Networking section for some examples of mixed home networks.

quot;Just as fast" is a vague term. It could be that for simple operations, like browsing web pages, that the wireless network will be just as fast as the wired network, but there is much more bandwidth available to the wired network than the wireless one.

It is recommended that when possible, high traffic users stay on the wired network. The wireless network uses different technologies from the wired network and therefore has considerably lower bandwidth capabilities. Because of this, any high volume traffic applications, such streaming video will not only be slow for the client using that application, but all other clients connecting to the same AP will be similarly affected. Servers are not permitted on the WLAN.

This runs into the problem that the current networking (Multicast) is not well supported across different networks - the wireless to wired scenario is particularly problematic.

Not in the foreseeable future. Wired speeds are up to 1Gbit per second, wireless are currently at 54Mbits per second. Work is ongoing to improve the speed of both wired and wireless. However, it is foreseeable that wireless technology will improve to the point that all personal computing requirements will be adequately addressed. This requires some basic underlying technology improvements that place significant speed improvements several years away from the market.

Wired cameras are optimal for permanent installation of security cameras. Great care should be taken to determine the positioning of the camera because moving its location can be very difficult. Wireless cameras can be used for either permanent or temporary installations. You can move the camera easily to a different location when needed without the need to run wires between the camera and recorder.

The WestConn wireless network is part of a DMZ network. Wireless users will only be able to access items on the University network similar to when they connect to the internet from home. Some services that are known to have security issues have been blocked. Please note that wireless service is not intended to replace the University wired network.

Yes. PrintJobs can be installed on multiple computers and link to a single database over your network. Each computer will need to have PrintJobs installed and a purchased license. We will assist you in setting up your PrintJobs network.

Wireless was designed for data. Wireless can be a useful part of a network (for checking email, Web browsing, etc.), but it cannot handle the demands of today’s homeowner for high-quality audio and video distribution. homeowners invest in large-screen TVs, digital cable, digital cameras, TiVos, and media PCs they want to maximize what they can do with videos, music, photographs, and computer files.

Probably. Any wireless receiver supporting the industry standard 802.11b or 802.11g protocols should work. However, in rare cases, we have found wireless receivers which had compatibility issues with the computer upon which it was installed.

From the drop-down box next to Data Encryption choose Disabled if the wireless network does not require security settings. If the wireless network requires security, choose the appropriate options for Network Authentication, Data Encryption, and then type in the encryption key into the Network key field. The Passphrase setting or any key generator that populates the encryption or network keys will not work with Dell wireless cards.

Yes you can. However, with residential service you can only obtain a dynamic IP address for your server. Static IP addresses are only available under our business plans.

Much has been written about the value of wireless networking. It certainly offers flexibility that wired networks can't match - the ability to work anywhere in an area, and to have access to a network in places where running wires is impractical. Set up a wireless network, and you have the convenience of connecting with no further effort. Wireless networking is not, however, the answer to all networking problems. There are two reasons why stringing cable may be worthwhile: security and speed.

Wireless access points operate within the 2.4GHz frequency range and are prone to interference from microwave ovens, other unknown access points in the area, some cordless phones and many other environmental factors that may be passing between you and the access point at any given time. Though the wireless protocol was designed to be robust, it is still radio frequency, and it can be interrupted by various pieces of equipment and/or structures.

Many factors affect this choice. The major factor is the construction and decoration of the premises. Can the location be wired and how much labor will be involved in wiring for the alarm? Will wireless devices be able to communicate to the alarm panel? Plaster walls with metal lathe in them can block the wireless signals. Large mirrors, foil wallpaper, metal lockers and other radio systems nearby might prevent a wireless system from working properly.

A wired network and a wireless network function similarly. We have provided below a chart that shows the main differences in the two networks. Installation is non-intrusive. The installation can be completed with minimal mess and will not disturb your guests. Guests wirelessly "connect" to the network and type in their password. Their password is valid for the length of their stay. Guests can connect only where there is a network jack. Usually, they need to be at the desk in a guest room.

Students must first be registered before accessing Ross educational resources. Additionally, both campuses require students to schedule to have personal notebook computer systems configured prior to accessing ROSS local LAN resources. The scheduling process begins after registration and configurations begin the first day of classes.

Yes. iDo Wedding and Event Professional Edition can be installed on multiple computers and link to a single database over your network. Each computer will need to have iDo installed and a purchased license. We will assist you in setting up your iDo network.

Under perfect conditions, the player supports up to 15Mbps. However, it is highly dependant to your wired/wireless environment.

It depends. Many factors may affect wireless connections (walls, desks, large metal objects, etc.). However, there are other devices that operate in the same 2.4GHz frequency range that can disrupt wireless connections. The largest offenders are 2.4GHz wireless telephones (but not cell phones), microwave ovens, etc.

Provided your network is 802.11b compliant, with 11 Mbps or 2 Mbps access points, it is likely you can use the existing network. It will be necessary to conduct an RF survey to check RF coverage because the radio reception of a belt worn unit can differ from that of hand held or truck mounted terminals.

Yes. Although the TimeIPS appliances must plug into a wired network (LAN) for security and reliability, administration can be performed with a wireless laptop or hand-held device with a web browser, if you have a wireless access-point configured on your network (LAN).

Yes, but Primecast can not guarantee the level of service when using equipment not offered through Primecast. You may need to consult your owner’s manual to configure your wireless modem appropriately with our system.

The wireless model includes both 802.11g (wireless) and 10/100 ethernet (wired) connections. The wired-only model has only the ethernet interface. Aside from that, they are the same.

The main difference is the type of technology and the type of installation. When it comes to the system's capabilities and effectiveness, there is no difference.

Yes you can. TexMesh's network supports an advanced technique called 'MAC identification and authentication'. This can be tricky to setup, but once it's done the TexMesh network will automatically recognize your computer each time it is turned on and is in the vicinity of the network. Authentication will happen automatically, which can be very convenient. Periodically, the network will ask for re-authentication just to ensure the computer and user account are still valid.
