I have never had much luck with d link and AT&T. I generally use
vendor supplied modem. Then add an airport express if wireless is
needed.
With wireless the signal can be blocked within a house.
You could run a cat 5 cable out to the other building and use one of
the ports on your router for that. Then a airport express in the
outside building would be pluged into that cable.

I don't know what I've been doing wrong. I have a Lynksys (D-Link)
DSL wireless router (bought it last spring (2007). I even paid a
bundle to have a so-called Mac expert from Comp USA to come out to
hook it up. He spent a lot of time and said that was all he could
do... it still doesn't work. But I was charged, of course, for his
time and the D-Link! Bummer!!!!
My daughter has two computers (a laptop Mac and a regular Mac) out
in my studio. That building is in my back yard and only about 15-20
feet from the house (or about 20-30 feet from my main computer). The
electricity and the phone are on the same lines (same number) as in
the house. Neither ATT&T nor Insight say they can get me service out
there without a separate server and modum... a second whole account,
in other words. That is out of the question with my budget.
The electricity and phone lines go out to the studio through an
underground conduit. Is there any way anyone knows what my problem
and/or solution may be? You can respond to me on this listserve or
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or, I would be delighted to hear any
ideas from members at my home phone number, (502)583-2057.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a linksys wireless router and Bellsouth DSL connection (not
lite) and there was no problems setting it up. Basically it's plug
and
play. You do have to know how to make your computer see the router.
My
guess is there's no difference in setting a router up with DSL than
with
Insight.

Hi All --
You all recently helped me with advice on a bluetooth mouse for my
new macbook. I received several responses with the majority
recommending the Apple mighty mouse. I purchased the Apple MM and
it's great. Thanks so much.
Now I have another request. My parents have AT&T DSL Lite connected
to a Mac mini running 10.4.x. They are interested in getting a
wireless router. Are they difficult to set up with DSL? I've set
up a
couple of wireless routers with Insight, but not DSL. Also, the
router I'm thinking of getting them is a Linksys WRT54GS, which is
older technology. I figure that they don't need the newer stuff
since
they're using a slow connection anyway and we could save some money.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
