Slow was part of the strategy to make it less desirable. Probably lame, but there you are. The only device that will be using wireless in this house is the WET11, which will be connected to a ReplayTV DVR. And the WET11 only speaks 802.11b. The only thing the DVR uses the connection for is downloading schedule information, so speed is not an issue. I'll be using my laptop to verify that the access point works, but I won't be using it wirelessly on a day-to-day basis. I have wired Ethernet jacks around the house in most of the places I'll want to be able to use the laptop. > Use WPA2 and a good password. Done. > Passwording is a good idea, and I should figure out if the WET11 can have one loaded into it to use to access the WRT54G. Re-configuration of sharing on our XP and Linux machines so that only a "transfer" directory is shared on each machine, and that we move things out of them quickly, has been deemed to be sufficient by my wife. Thanks for the ideas. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
