	quote: Originally posted by Sam I don't really know much about wireless networking etc., but I assume they aren't, as the speed on my Linksys wireless broadband router has gone from the normal 54Mbps when I am in the same room as it, to 1Mbps. Haven't really noticed a difference as such speed wise on the Internet though, and the signal strength seems to vary from 'Excellent' to 'Very good'... [Edited on 09-12-2004 by Sam] Yeah not really meant to go through walls but they can still work a treat. A wireless install I did with a 802.11g AP was placed in the middle of the house (master bedroom, second floor) and gave covereage to every floor and room in the house (three floors in total). And dont forget your WEP keys, MAC address filtering, and for the truely paranoid, turn DHCP off. :thumbs:
