[GRLUG] Wireless question

[Joseph McLaughlin]

So I buy a ASUS WL-330ge, wire it to my media player, (make sure all the 
settings are correct before connecting it)  

and it connects to my wireless network and allows the media player to (biridge 
over) connect to my server....

Cheers
Joe

 There is still a bug in the program must use RAID!

No! WEP is terribly poor encryption.

It's called a 'bridge'; it connects a network with one kind of
physical layer to another. Modems are actually quite similar.

I really, really liked my ASUS WL-330ge bridges, though I don't use
them much any more. (I've loaned them to a friend who's going to do
some tinkering) They can serve as routers, repeaters, 802.11 network
clients or 802.11 access points. (The latter two roles are two
specializations of the 'bridge' concept that are particular to how
802.11 works.)
