Just enabled the wireless on my laptop and Dell PDA and I'm sitting here in the living room watching AutoRox and surfing the internet on my laptop. Now, for the rub. I don't have a wireless router in this house. I have no clue how I'm surfing the internet right now. Anyone have any clues? I can't believe there's a free wifi spot in my suburban neighborhood, but . . .

This is just too cool. It's actually faster than my home cable modem connection.

What the heck? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Now to see if my PDA can do the same thing since it has wireless too.

I plan to get a wireless setup after retirement, although I hope to have my own network in the house as well. House was built with CAT 5 wiring to most rooms.

I can pick up at least one wireless signal here in my barracks room, which is a full concrete building.

My dad got his wireless setup installed by his ISP/cable/phone company; shortly afterwards, he noticed that anytime he made a call on his cordless home phone while he was surfing, he lost his internet connection. Turns out the phone was on a similar frequency. He noticed it when he was watching a NASCAR race and was tuned into the Track Pass feature on the propaganda website, and he and I were talking on our cellphones and his wife would make a call on the house cordless phone. All surfing stopped until the house phone call was completed. He got the technicians to come out and fix that rather quickly... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
