Wireless Broadband Knowledge Base
Wireless broadband? I currently have a broadband connection with orange, and one asdl modem. We have 2 laptops in the house, and my dad, brother and myself all use the internet. With my own laptop, I have a radio card that I can use to connect to the internet whilst I'm at uni. I would like to know if it's worth my while buying a wireless broadband router. Would this enable me to use my radio card to connect to the internet at home (wireless)? Would it enable both laptops to be connected to the internet at the same time? and would I need any additional software (i.e. another radio card for example) to enable the other laptop to connect?
Wireless Broadband for both a Pocket PC and a Laptop: How to compare providers in my area? I am planning on getting both a PDA (Pocket PC) and a Laptop. My understanding is that a big part of this choice has to do w the Wireless Broadband Provider - Sprint, Verizon, Cingular, etc. I have been told that each provider has its own 'hardware' - towers, etc. So, signal strength varies from one carrier to another. That is a big deal. How do I determine which providers are better and which are worse in my area ? (North Metro Atlanta - 30076). I don't travel very often, and if I do, it's to other larger cities in the US. 99% of my connection time will be in/around Atlanta. I have also been told that I should / have to get both of these from the same provider (the PDA service and the Wireless Broadband service for my laptop). The PDA will be my cell phone, also. Please enlighten me.

If not, is there certain way I set my computer up, so that it can happen?

How do I know if I am getting 8meg or not from my Orange Wireless Broadband setup? Just upgraded from Orange Broadband hardwired 2meg serevice to their wireless 8meg (via 'Livebox'). So far, I can only find how fast my PC communicates with the router (54Mbps). Where would I look to find out how fast the connection speed to the internet is? Although it is supposed to be 4x faster, it just seems the same as it was to me. (Unless, maybe Orange send out the router and uplift the speed at a later date?). Thankyou for any replies.
What kind of speed can I expect out of a Sprint Wireless Broadband connection? I can't get high speed internet where I live (Except by satellite which is MUCH more expensive than anything else).

I was wondering if anyone actually has Sprint wireless broadband and what speed they really get.

Is it possible to hook up a PS3 to a wireless broadband adapter on a computer that runs on dial-up? I have a 60 GB PS3 that I bought and Im trying to hook it up so that I can play my games online. The problem is that I dont have a laptop computer only a regular HP PC that is three rooms across from where my PS3 is and my ethernet cord will not reach. I dont really don't feel like buying a long cord and stretching it across the livingroom. I was thinking about buying a wireless adapter to see if it would be able to work. Does anyone think that the signal from the adapter could pick up the PS3 from 3 rooms over? Also I wanted to know that if you have dail-up and you buy a broadband adapter, what things will I need in order for the adapter to work and will it make the speed of my computer like broadband or will it be slow like dial-up. Looking for a cost range between $200-$300 for all the equipment.
What settings do I need to set up my wireless broadband? Ok so i'm finally getting round to retrying to set up my wireless broadband connection.

Could someone please give me a full list of what i'm likely to be asked for? If it's of any help, my ISP is Wanadoo (now Orange) and i'm using a Belkin wireless adsl modem. Also, how easy (or should that be difficult!) is it to set everything up? Any help very gratefully received
