| 337937 | 2005-03-25 05:53:00 | i am trying to connect to my home wireless but all adapters i have tried will not get a good enough singnal strength (they show the network but there are zero bars of signal strength). i have been through 4 now, two linksys one d-com one motorola. the odd part is that a laptop i own with an intel 2200gb wireless connection gets good signal strength. so now rather than wasting any more time on desktop adapters i thought i would try to find an adapter that allows a mini pci card to plug into a pci card slot and just buy a intel 2200gb wireless mini pci card the problem with this is that I CANT FIND ONE. all i can find is adapters to connect a pci card to a mini pci slot DOES ONE OF THESE EXSIST |

| 337939 | 2005-03-25 05:59:00 | what is the diff between acess point and router | reefer4411 (6823) | ||
| 337940 | 2005-03-25 06:15:00 | Pass as I dont use either. Does the router say its an Access point as well? Umm to your other question what cards have u got?? 54/108, or 11mbps? And whats the router? Wireless I take it?? is this for 11/54, or 108 wireless? Is the router, 802.11b or 802.11g? |

| 337941 | 2005-03-25 06:40:00 | wireless g acess point wireless of course the laptop works with it(it is in roomates room) the first linksys adapter was an usb wireless g/b 11/54mbps that didn't work so i returned it for linksys a/b/g pci card (i thought with newer technology it might also be more sensitive) that didn't work so i returned it for a d-link (not d-com) a/b/g pci card 108 mbps with a antenna on a wire (thought i might be able to get better reception with this antenna) i was wrong so i returned it for a motorola b/g witch a tech guy said had the best reception he had seen wrong again. futher more i know i wouldn't be able to take advantage of the dual band but i thought it might provide more sensitivity/reception. on top of that i think the the acess point is conected to our cable modem with a rj45 100 mbps (right?) but most importantly, the laptop gets reception, so i want to know if there is an adpater for a pci slot that would allow me to plug in a mini pci card. |

| 337943 | 2005-03-25 07:09:00 | I dont think there is any mini pic that can be worked with a PC . You can get PCMCIA or PC Cards that can be converted to PCI thou . |

| 337945 | 2005-04-02 19:30:00 | From what you're saying it sounds more like a configuration issue. Is it possible that the network is protected, or that your roommate has locked down his wireless router by MAC address? I believe in that latter situation I have seen networks show up, but with zero bars of reception | Jeffclark (7699) | ||
