Hi All,
My previous concerns with restoring files has been resolved thanks to this
list.
Now I have more questions about wireless connectivity. Although I have had
a NB for 2.5 years, I have never used it on line for e-mail or surfing the
web. When I recently purchased a transplant to mPower, I purchased a Wi-Fi
card from my BN distributor in order to insure that it would be
compatible. Today when I began a search for a wireless router, I learned
that there are more questions for me than answers. There is a great price
range and various speeds available. There are different brands as
well. This is no news on this list, but it gives me reason to pause and
learn more. Here is the information that my husband read from the Wi-Fi
card I have:
One side reads:
Connect Plus Low Power Wi-Fi Card
128 mb memory Compactflash
802.11b
The other side reads:
Sandisk Wi-Fi Card
mac address 006083 v6cd1d4
He said that there are more numbers but the print is very small.
I have learned that wireless routers have different speeds including B, G,
N, and A. It would seem that I don't need a faster speed than my card can
handle. Is this a valid assumption?
Is the B on my card meaning the slowest speed?How fast are the various
speeds?
I have cable Internet and I also wonder:
What is compatible with Charter, my Internet provider?
Do I need to be concerned with compatibility with JFW as well?
You see by these questions that I am a real novice here. I am thinking
that I will want someone to install it and get the fire wall secure and
help me get connected initially. It seems overwhelming to me right now,
but maybe I would do all right taking things step by step.
Please point me in a direction where I may go to find answers and to learn
more about this topic.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Joleen
