Linksys Wmb54G Vista Setup - How to Configure Wireless Music Bridge to Work With Your Computer

Streaming music from your computer speakers wirelessly via wi-fi sounds like a great idea and it is but if you purchased a Linksys Wmb54G and tried setting it up on your Vista machine, chances are you gave up and threw the gadget out the window. Thanks to Google and some trial and error, I figured out how to get this "non-Vista" gadget working on a Vista computer.

It's wonderful to me that Linksys didn't make this gadget Vista compatible but I am not here to write about that. Instead, I will show you step by step how to get this wireless music bridge to work on your computer.

1. Throw the Cd that came with the unit out! If you happen to run the software on your computer, you will have more problems than you can image.

Important - The utility agenda is registry heavy so if you installed the old version that came on the Cd, you will most likely have issues even if you Un-install it and install the new version. I had to do a theory restore and restored my theory prior to installing the original utility program.

2. Go to Linksys Drivers and download

Xp, Vista Setup Wizard (Xp and Vista) Ver.2.18

Xp, Vista Firmware (Xp and Vista) Ver.2.18

3. Connect the wireless music bridge directly into the Ethernet port of your computer - Not into your router (you will loose Internet connection unless you are using wireless so print this page in case you need to come back to these directions.

4. Run the firmware agenda - it's pretty self explanatory - make sure the gadget is plugged into the wall and your computer and do not interrupt the process. The new firmware version should be 2.18

5. Once the firmware is upgraded, run the installation agenda by double clicking on the "setup" file.

6. Click where it says "Click here to start" - this will detect the bridge linked to your Ethernet port. Once connected, you can add a password, change the name and set it up to be seen on your wireless network.

*If you use Wpa or Wpa2 safety in your network, it is the equivalent to Psk and Psk-2 in the Linksys setup so just be aware that you will not see anything about Wpa

7. Once the gadget is all configured, it will ask you to install the utility which is the agenda that runs on your computer that sends the audio to the device. effect the on screen prompts and install the utility. You will probably get an error after installing the utility because it will not run on Vista as is - just close the error message and continue.

8. After all things is installed, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer.

Here Is The important Part To Get It Working In Vista

9. Click on Start and type in "msconfig" where it says "start search".

10. Click on the startup tab and find "Cmflywave Application" - uncheck the box to the left of it and click Ok.

11. Find these three files on your hard drive:

cmas2ds.exe

cmflywav.exe

wmb54g.exe

(look for them inside the linksys install folder in agenda files)

12. Right-click on each of these files and go to properties - Then find the compatibility tab and check the box where it says "Run this agenda in compatibility mode for: and make your mind up (Windows Xp aid Pack 2) and then click Ok.

13. Now, double click on these 3 files in this order:

cmas2ds.exe

cmflywav.exe

wmb54g.exe

The utility should now run successfully in Vista. Click on "Scan for music bridge" and your gadget will show up in the list. Click on the gadget and click "connect" and now all your audio will be sent to the bridge.

....................................................................................................................................

So a few days went by and all of a sudden, the music was not being transferred to the wireless bridge. I do not know if I reboot or what but now either the bridge showed as linked or not, the music was just arrival out of the computer speakers.

What I did then was go to my sound settings and right click on the active gadget for the computer speakers - I then disabled them.

Next I reboot the computer and when it came back up, I verified that the computer speakers were disabled. I then went to the Linksys folder and double clicked on cmflywav.exe and wmb54g.exe (Not cmas2ds.exe)

The bridge was able to Connect and the music transferred.

In conclusion, this gadget was more ill than it was worth. I paid with shipping for a refurbished model and all the hours wasted trying to get it to work were not worth the money I saved on the device. If you are not a tech savvy person, this gadget is Not for you. Linksys needs to get on the ball and settle all the software issues with the Wmb54G.

Quick Guide to Wireless

Wireless networks for beginners.

For some the idea of setting up a wireless network is a daunting task. Secured, unsecured, g, b, a, what does it all mean? How far will it go? How fast is it? These are all valid questions and the answers aren't too difficult to understand, so to start with this narrative will focus on the basic idea of wireless computing.

As so far as home computing, networking had not legitimately been an affordable option. The last ten years has moderately witnessed the technology that allows us to associate computers together come to be ready at uncostly cost. Soon everybody was sharing a printer at home and had more than one computer associated to their home internet connection.




Sending facts wirelessly over the air is not new, we have been watching Tv and listening to radio for more than 50 years, this medium sends facts via radio waves and your radio or Tv set decodes the signal back into something that we recognise as sound or pictures.

Mobile phones have been sending data over the packet radio assistance (Gprs) long before we started to see wireless routers. As with anything where there is a uncostly ask the technology soon follows, of procedure where possible. Networking computers using cables is fine but there are occasions when it would be highly high-priced to run cables. That cost rises even more if you need to associate two physically detach buildings.

The coming of wireless computing tool solved a lot of issues for example, providing internet way to computers in a listed building where you are naturally not allowed to drill though walls in order to feed cables to the next room or even across two buildings.

The cost of wireless is now comparatively uncostly when compared to cables and legitimately easier to set up. Now we can send data colse to our home using a wireless connection. You may have heard of the wireless that your computer or laptop and now even some mobiles use as Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi 802.11. The 802.11 comes from the Ieee. The Ieee set standards for technological protocols covering more than just It.

So now that we know that 802.11 is the identification for wireless what about the letters?

b -: The slowest connection. Transmits at 2.4 Ghz and can deal with 11 megabits.

g-: Transmits on the same frequency as b, but it uses a different formula to encode the signal and can accomplish up to 54 megabits, though in reality because of network congestion it only manages about 20-26 megabits of data throughput.

a -: a can send up to 54 megabits and transmits at 5 Ghz. A uses the same encoding as g.

There are other standards that will be covered in an additional one article.

Connecting to a wireless router.

Connecting a computer or gadget to a wireless way point or wireless router is easier than you might think. You only need a few pieces of facts and you're done.

You need the Ssid.

Security Key (if set, and you should set one)

Wireless compatible network card or usb adaptor if it is not already built into your system.

The Chanel Number

About 10 minutes.

Most wireless products come with software that will commence a wizard that will help you to associate to your wireless router.**

However here is the basic process explained. For this we are assuming that your computer has a wireless gadget installed and is using windows Xp assistance pack 2. The wireless router when you purchase is ordinarily set on channel 6 and the Ssid (service set identifier) is ordinarily the make of the wireless router. For example Netgear or Linksys. It is a good idea to turn this. I would not propose changing it to one that gives away your house name as any one that lives within range will then know that you are using a wireless connection. Doing this also helps you to identify your wireless network from others.

When using the windows wireless connection process it is straightforward to get connected. You need to make sure that windows is set as the default for wireless connections. If you have software for wireless connectivity that came with your system or wireless card or usb key, use that.

To check that windows is the default: *(Only for use if you are not using third party software)

1.Click start then left click on run and type services.msc.

2. In the services window scroll down to Wireless Zero Configuration.

3. Ensure that it is started and set to automatic. Once this is done you can close down the window.

Now to get connected.

1. Go to control panel and open network connections.

2. In the network connections window you will see a list of network devices.

3. Right click on your wireless connection and take view ready wireless networks. (It will also display the type of safety the network uses)

4. You will see a list of wireless networks; you should see your network. (This is the Ssid so if you changed it will be what ever you changed it to)

5. Left click on your network and then click on the associate button.

6. You will now be prompted for your network key. This is the safety key for your network *** enter it here.

Your network should now say connected.

***Security***

There are different types of wireless security. Here is a brief explanation.

Wep = wired equivalent privacy. This was once the accepted for wireless safety but it easy to find software that can hack Wep.

Wpa = Wi-Fi protected access. This is more acquire than Wep and uses (Tkip) temporal Key Interchange protocol to encode the passphrase that you use to associate to the wireless network. You should use this instead of Wep.

Mac = Media way Code. Every network gadget has a unique corporeal address, referred to as the Mac address. You can set the wireless router to allow or disallow safe bet mac addresses. A mac address could be copied by a hacker that knows what they are doing.

This concludes the basic wireless guide. For further reading look for the intermediate wireless article.

The Negative Side Effects of Wireless Technology and How to Minimize Troublesome Symptoms

Wireless technology is making life increasingly convenient, but with all the upside, there is a downside that may be having a huge negative impact on your full, ability of life.

Restless sleep, foggy brain, memory problems, moodiness and unexplained aches and pains are just a few symptoms that can construct as the succeed of exposure to wireless technology. More and more studies are indicating that constant bombardment by the intense, high-frequency radio signals that are related with WiFi and wireless devices might even be producing more serious consequences, such as cancer, autism, and immune theory disorders. By taking the ten easy steps noted below, you can sell out your risk of harm from wireless radiations and minimize uncomfortable symptoms.

  1. If you have wireless internet service, turn off the power to your router/modem boxes when your computer is not in use. Some routers are contained inside the modem. In other cases, the modem connects to a router and then those two units connect to your computer. Always turn off the power to the router before you go to bed. Just turning off your computer will not stop the high-frequency, wireless signals, which are being broadcast from an antenna inside or on top of the router box, not your computer.
  2. Cable companies and even Dsl suppliers are now usually providing routers that convert the cable or Dsl signals to a high frequency radio signal, and then broadcast the signal from a small antenna inside the router box. The antenna broadcasts in all directions, with a typical broadcast radius of 100 to 500 feet or more from the antenna. Having a high frequency radio wave transmitter in your environment is like having a limited radio middle point in your home or office. These aerial "wireless" signals can be picked up by any computer within approved range that has wireless capability. This local area wireless networking is called WiFi, which means "wireless fidelity". If a router is related with your computer set-up, do not assume that just because your computer is plugged into a cable or a phone line, that you do not have wireless service. If you can way the internet from other computer in your home that is not related directly to a cable or Dsl line, your router is broadcasting a wireless signal. You will not be able to turn off the broadcast without turning off the power to the router or switching out the box to a type of router that does not have this wireless conversion capacity.
  3. On occasion, habitancy find that even with no wireless router, they are still picking up a wireless signal. If you have a neighbor with wireless service and you are within 300 feet of their router, their wireless signals may be broadcasting straight through your space. A clarification here could be ask the neighbor to turn off the power to their router before they go to bed, for your sake and theirs.
  4. Turn off your cellular telephone, iPhone and other wireless communication/multi-media devices, or set them to "Flight Mode", when not in use. As a normal rule, limit cell phone usage, especially lengthy calls. For lengthy calls, use a land line, or make several shorter calls instead, with break periods in-between. other choice is to use a headphone and move the telephone as far away from you as possible.
  5. Do not, under any circumstances, use the type of cellular phone that you attach to your ear.
  6. Do not think that by attaching a straightforward Emf protector tab (many varieties are sold these days) to your phone that you are in fact protected from the effects of high-frequency radiation from your phone. These so-called safety devices Do Not preclude high-frequency radiation from heating up your brain tissue and affecting you in other ways when you use your cell phone for an extended period. In the case of Bluetooth phones (like Blackberries) and headphones, you do not even need to make a call for the radiation succeed -- just having the phone turned on and in close proximity will irradiate every cell in your body.
  7. Charge your cellular or cordless phone on its charging base, and then unplug the base unit until the next time you need to charge the phone.
  8. If you have wireless devices in your home or elsewhere, such as a wireless printer in your office, unplug these devices when not in use.
  9. Spend more time in natural settings like parks and forests, or even your own backyard - places where there are trees, flowers, and other plants. If you like gardening, do more of it. Getting close to the soil (repotting plants, digging or weeding organery beds, etc.) is especially beneficial.
  10. Increase your iodine intake. Iodine is a well-known remedy for radiation poisoning. I personally take a special formulation called Atomidine, which was prescribed by Edgar Cayce in over 800 of his cases. You can purchase this product online. Be cautious with iodine supplements, as iodine can build up in your theory and cause a variety of problems. You should check with you doctor prior to adding iodine to your health regime.






While the ideas noted above will not totally eliminate your exposure to wireless radiation, if you implement all these steps, you will greatly minimize your exposure and sell out the possible of experiencing the related side effects.

movable and Wireless communication Systems - Past, present and future

Wireless communication refers to the replacement of data without the use of wires over a distance. The length can be as short as a few meters or as long as hundreds of kilometers. Mobile phones, Pdas, wireless networks and satellite Tv are only few of the wide collection of fixed, Mobile or transported devices and systems that hire wireless communication technology.

The cellular idea was introduced in the 1960s and 1970s, since then the communication business has witnessed gigantic growth. Wireless communication networks have come to be omnipresent and the worldwide cellular subscriber base is staggering to cross 5.5 billion users in 2013, with a increase rate of 40% or more a year!

The sharp increase in cellular subscribers over recent years shows that wireless communications are a robust and sustainable voice and data converyance system. Newer wireless systems and technology contain voice and data in addition to voice phone calls.






The first generation wireless communication systems were launched in 1980s (1G) which used analog signals for communication and relied on Tdma technology alone. These were replaced by the second generation (2G) systems in 1990s which used digital signals and could transmit data in addition to voice. Gsm is an prominent 2G standard. 2G was upgraded to 2.5G to give best data speeds. Services like Gprs, Edge and Wap were introduced with it for Mobile browsing. Introduced in 2001, the 3G systems made simultaneous transmission of voice and data possible. In addition to high speed internet access, facilities such as video calling and Mobile Tv are now possible. Meanwhile, 3G is evolving into 3.5G with features like WiMax, 4G is staggering to provide Ip based services. That means in the hereafter every expedient will have a unique Ip Address.

At the same time as cellular networks organize new standards to facilitate high speed data communication, new technologies are being implemented to allow wireless networks to replace traditional copper wires and fiber optic links between fixed points, several kilometers apart (fixed wireless access). Similarly wireless networks have been increasingly used as substitute to wired ones within offices, homes and buildings by creating wireless local area networks (Wlans). WiFi is the most widely used Wlan technology. The evolution of Bluetooth technology has helped to generate personal area networks (Pans), replacing the troublesome appliance communication cords with invisible wireless connections within a personal workspace. Infrared is also other short range, point to point wireless data transmission system.

Broadband - How To accumulate Your Wireless Network

It wasn't all that long ago when personal computers where restricted for offices and wealthy households. Moreover, computer networks where approximately unheard of in residential settings, such technology was reserved for large office structure - things however, have progressed considerably over the years.

One of the most tasteless methods to share a broadband connection within homes and offices today is using wireless technologies.

Wireless Network Repeater

Although such technology has revolutionised the way habitancy can way networks and the internet it does have a major disadvantage, one that was not prevalent with coaxial cables or the more familiar Cat5 network cable; this being security.

The technology that comprises a wireless network ordinarily consists of a wireless router; wireless receivers (generally Usb dongles or built in antennas); and in some cases one or more repeaters (if the signal needs to span an exceptionally long distance).

Once set up, the wireless router will happily start broadcasting and accepting facts within a obvious radius. This essentially means that your next door neighbour (or whatever in range!) could be accessing your network, and leaching your internet connection - which as well as invading your privacy could be costing you money if you have a broadband usage allowance.

So, the first line of defence is to familiarise yourself with your network and your routers configuration options, which are ordinarily accessed via a browser window

Router manufactures tend to apply the same Ssid (the networks name) and login details for all of their routers, so to begin with, changing these to something more personal is the first line of defence.

Following this you should apply some form of encryption, the favorite choice being Wep (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and Wpa (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the later of which is the most secure. This involves applying a exact "key" that any computer attempting to way your router will need to input.

Lastly, maybe one of the best ways to ensure only devices of your choice have way to your router is to build Mac filtering. Mac or Media way control is a unique code given to every physical network device.

Therefore, looking out the Mac code for each gadget in your network (this can prove difficult to the untrained so referring to the manufactures hand-operated is recommended) and inputting only these addresses on your Mac filter list will ensure only they will have access.

Wireless protection Camera principles

 Security cameras are a great way to augment a home security system, but the sometimes can be difficult to install.  Wireless security camera systems have the convenience of not having to be hardwired into a system.  They do need power, but they can be plugged into a appropriate outlet, or battery powered for take off convenience.  You can also use a wireless security camera system to narrative the video feed, or with definite types view the video live over the internet from everywhere in the world.  Let's take a look at the three main types of wireless security camera to see what's right for you.

Outdoor Wireless Security Camera System

Wireless Digital Cctv System

Used in a typical home security setting, the outdoor wireless cameras replace the appropriate hardwired camera.  They will need some sort of electrical power, but that can be in case,granted by a appropriate electrical outlet.  There are ones that are battery powered but to remain on all day can drain the battery quickly. You can find solar powered cameras but they could lose power in the event of consecutive rainy days or overcast weather.  Still if you don't want to go straight through the issue of hardwiring your cameras they might be a good selection for you.

Wireless Ip Security Camera System.

A relatively new increasing to security cameras is the Ip security camera.  These cameras function in a similar way to a webcam, except they don't need to be hooked up to a computer.  The camera signal is sent back to a base or connects to your home wireless internet.  Basically the camera is a self contained webcam.  The advantage is that you can log into the camera any time or any place you have a internet connection and see what the camera sees.  This real time monitoring can be recorded via computer or digital video recorder. 

Nanny Cam

A nanny cam is a wireless guard camera system disguised as an everyday household object.  You can get clocks, Dvd players, children's toys etc, that have inexpressive cameras built into them.  They can function just like the real object but have the added guard system.  Many population use these to view caretakers (like nanny's) or employees in their homes.  These digital wireless security camera systems can be recorded to Dvr or be combined with a wireless Ip camera so that you can view the live video remotely via the internet at work.

Wireless Network Troubleshooting

Overview

The process of troubleshooting your network if it has wireless components is somewhat more complex than wired infrastructure. In fact you must troubleshoot both wired and wireless infrastructure to determine the problem. The methodology of starting with cabling from the client and working through the OSI model to the application layer is effective. The wireless client traffic doesn't see any cabling until there has been association with the access point. In essence there is a data link between wireless client and access point. With that established there is data link traffic between access point and wired network switch.

Wireless Network Repeater

wireless network repeater

The wired client has a Cat 5 cable plugged into the desktop that terminates at a wired switch. All clients associating at a specific access point now share a single Cat 5 cable running from access point to switch. That makes troubleshooting easier since cabling is a source of a lot of network problems, however any problems with that cable affects all clients. It is important to minimize the number of access point clients for maximum performance. Commercial network implementations average 10 - 24 clients per access point.

The key with troubleshooting is to determine what has changed. Sometimes it is hardware that isn't working or some change made such as new software, configured equipment or additional employees stressing the network. It could be a specific issue or several problems. Start with the client adapter, determine the specific symptoms and go from there.

The following is a series of questions that can used as a guideline during the troubleshooting process:

1. Can the wireless client associate with any access point?

2. Can you ping the switch IP address?

3. Can you ping the router?

4. Can you ping the DHCP server?

5. Does the client obtain an IP address?

6. Is the WAN circuit available?

7. Has new software been installed on the client?

8. Do all clients experience the problem?

9. Is it random or a specific pattern?

10. Is it server specific or application specific?

11. Is the DNS server IP address setting correct?

12. Is there a firewall that is filtering traffic?

TOOLS:

a) Wireless client software shows status information such as access point association, DHCP enabled, IP address, default gateway, DNS server address.

b) Windows control panel shows wireless adapter settings, firewall configuration etc.

c) Ping will verify that network routing is working.

d) Network packet sniffers examine packet information such as protocols, filtered programs or errors with applications.

e) Spectrum analyzers detect frequency interference and possible sources.

COMMON WIRELESS PROBLEMS:

Wireless Client Settings

• Upgrade the manufacturer client adapter driver.

• Implement current Windows operating system service pack.

• Examine client data rate, transmit power, preamble, roaming decision, WPA settings.

• Confirm shared keys if implemented aren't mismatched between client and AP.

• Examine IP address settings. DHCP will send specific settings to each client. Those clients without DHCP must configure IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS server IP address.

• The client SSID name configured should match what is configured at the AP.

Access Point

• Confirm the APs have the recommended IOS version with the specific feature set.

• Examine AP mounting and modify if necessary using the installation instructions.

• Delete any configured loopback addresses.

• Configure transmit power setting and decrease when channel interference occurs.

• Mixed 802.11b/g environments must configure each AP with 802.11b basic data rates.

• Configure data rate and duplex settings to match between AP and switch.

Design

• Configure data rate and duplex setting to match between wireless bridges.

• Standard Cat 5 UTP cable should be a maximum of 328 feet between AP and switch.

• Distance from the wireless client to access point should not exceed the specified range.

• Maximum number of clients per access point should not exceed 17 - 24.

• Don't assign channel overlap between neighbor APs.

• Configure spanning tree protocol at root bridges

• Configure non overlapping channels of 1, 6 and 11 at 802.11b and 802.11g APs.

• Don't configure multiple root bridges on the same WLAN

• Implement the most current version of Windows Server, IAS RADIUS Server or Cisco ACS

• RF interference will occur in an unlicensed band. Minimize sources where possible.

How to Set Up a Wireless Printer

In today's world, having technology in wireless form is more common than ever before. As a matter of fact, once consumers get the hang of wireless and Bluetooth technology, that is what they want! Today, wireless printers are the most common type of printer because they can be accessed from many different computers. In addition, having one printer that multiple computers can access remotely removes the hassle of having to deal with hooking up local printers to each computer in your office.

Setting up a wireless printer is quite easy and almost anyone can do it. Here are the steps to setting up a wireless printer:

Wireless Network Repeater

wireless network repeater

Find a location - it is a must that you find the best place to put your wireless printer. The best place means that it is in a spot where all the computers are able to access its signal. Generally you want the printer to be in a central location so everyone can access the prints as well, so don't put it in an office that is often used for meetings. Choose a connectivity setting - the two versions of connectivity that are most popular are Bluetooth and a wireless network. If you have a Bluetooth enabled computer and printer, then setting up your connection is a breeze, you simply follow the on screen prompts in the printer set up area of the control panel. If you have a wireless network, you will need a router. The advantage to using a router and setting up a network is then the sharing capabilities increase. Not only can you share the printer, but files and internet connections as well. The remaining instructions below will help if you have a wireless network. Printer sharing - when setting up a wireless printer, there has to be a server computer that is considered as the main computer. Make sure that the option of "printer sharing" is enabled in the server computer. Without this, you will not be able to allow other computers to use the printer as well. Troubleshooting - on problem that people often run into when they set up a wireless network is loss of the signal. Usually this is due to a power interruption to the router. Make sure everyone is aware that the router needs to have power at all times for the signal to be accessible. If you have other connectivity problems, most companies that make the routers have very informative websites and customer service agents that are able to help you.

Don't get left behind in the times. Going wireless has proven time and again to be the best way to make networking so much easier than ever before. After setting up a wireless printer, you will find that your printing needs will be finally met with ease.

Wireless Networking

Start wireless networking with making sure that your computer has the right device for wireless internet connections. Most of the new models out in the market today have built-in wireless transmitters but older models need a wireless adapter plugged into a USB port or PC card slot to make it Wi-Fi capable. New wireless adapter models are compatible with the different 802.11 standards.

Upon installation of the wireless adapter, drivers should be installed to enable the computer or laptop to detect existing Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and then be prompt for connection. Older computers may need a special program to detect and connect to existing Wi-Fi networks.

Wireless Network Repeater

wireless network repeater

An existing home network can be converted into a wireless networking access point. On the other hand, if there is wireless networking unavailable for the computers or if the user wants to switch from an Ethernet network to a wireless one, a wireless router with a wireless access point, firewall, Ethernet hub and a port to the DSL modem can be used.

Using a wireless router, you can either connect computers and printers in your network using Ethernet cables or wireless signals. Wireless routers typically provide 30 meter coverage in all directions. Of course, walls and doors can affect the router's coverage area. To extend the coverage or range of the wireless router, you can use repeaters or extenders.

Default Settings and User Options

The router will run at its default settings upon activation. The user, however, can change these settings depending on his or her preferences using the web interface. The settings that the user can change are the default setting of the service set identifier or SSID which is the manufacturer's name, the default channel of the router which is channel 6 most of the time and used to minimize or eliminate interference with a neighbor's wireless router operating at the same channel, and the router's security options which has a user name and password option.

Wireless Networking Security Options

The last setting is important to people who would like to limit access to wireless networking. For this, you can use any of the three wireless network security options available. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) for example, uses a 64- or 124-bit encryption method that prompts user to provide a password prior to access. The WPA or the Wi-Fi Protected Access on the other hand is an upgrade of WEP included in the 802.11i protocol.

WPA differs from WEP for instead of the bit encryption method, it utilizes TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption to safeguard the network data. As with WEP, all users need to provide a password in order to log in to the network. Finally, the Media Access Control or the MAC eliminates the need for passwords and user names in providing wireless network security. The MAC utilizes the unique MAC address of every computer to determine who is or who is not allowed into the network.

Nine activities in creating a wireless hotspot Consider

If you are considering setting up a wireless hotspot (WiFi) system in a distributed environment (hotels, camping sites, a small city), there are a number of factors that can affect system performance.

1 Distance

Wireless Network Repeater

wireless network repeater

Key at any Wi-Fi installation, removal of the primary Internet connection for most customers in the system. If the distance exceeds 500 meters, between the repeater site and the distancemost parts of the site. This is not a technical problem, but may increase the cost of something.

2 Trees

The trees are one of the greatest enemies of wireless Internet connections. The trees absorb energy and prevent the wireless signal to reach the desired destination. Short cut them all down (probably not a desirable state in a camp), you must avoid. This means carefully planning the installation so that youLine of sight of the connections between the main control unit and the repeater, and between the repeaters and the customer units.

Customer 3 units

Metallic coating is also an important enemy radio signals. If customers are in mobile homes or trailer with metal sides, is likely to require a type of external antenna on the device. Camper saavy who are probably looking for wireless access to the Internet already knows, but some can not. This is not so mucha problem than an opportunity. RV camping in stocks can open shop equipment, and are renting or selling to your customers. There may be another source of income.

4 Land
