Problem with WEP security and a sitecom wireless range extender
Sun, 21 Sep 2008 05:01:22 -0700 (PDT)
Hi,
I have a wireless network configured with 128 bit WEP security. The
laptop upstairs doesn't always work very well so I have bought a range
extender made by Sitecom (WP 150).
Everything works fine with no WEP enabled on either the wireless
router or the range extender. Once I enable WEP on both, I can't ...

Homeplug Speeds
Sun, 14 Sep 2008 20:21:45 +0100
I am considering a homeplug to extend my current home network.
The latest version supports speeds up to 200mbps but I am wondering the
benefits of this speed; at the moment no broadband even exceeds the
slower 85mbps standard.
BBC's Iplayer plays fine over my own adsl, which is not particularly

has to re-connect. It works perfectly during the period when it is
connected. There a ...

Hi,

laptop (wireless-g). I was wondering if I should go for a wireless-g
modem/router, the like of Linksys WAG200G or for a wireless-N, like
Linksys WAG160N. I know that the speed is going to be limited by her
ADSL anyway, but the reasoni ...
