Kevin:
I know nothing about the net gear range, but a fundamental question is:
Is it a multi channel device?

A second point is that I am told that it is preferable to have one machine
hard wired to an access point - others will know better than me on this
point!

Subject: [access-uk] wireless network frustrations!

hi all, this has most likely been covered before, so if someone can point me
to a helpfull article rather than having too repeat themselves that's fine!
smile.
ok, scenario is ... we have a main desktop pc  connected to the internet via
a wireless netgear router. all fine so far! smile. we have now purchased a
new laptop, how can i get the new laptop (which has a built-in wireless
adaptor) to access the net? i take it i just ask the wireless adaptor in the
laptop to search for networks in range, put in the requested security key
and off we go? i'd rather the 2 computers had independent access to the net
rather than having to link the laptop to the net via the desktop if you know
what i mean. also, how can i get the desktop and the laptop talking to one
another so i can transfer files etc? i've had a quick look via google and
keep coming across article about how to secure a network once you've got
one! i've sort of worked that one out! i just want  the 2 pc's networked
first! smile.
