I went out and looked around for wireless networks for the house. There were two main companies that I saw in the shelf of wireless stuff, Microsoft and Linksys. Because I've had problems before with a non wireless Linksys router, I decided to go with the Microsoft brand. I bought a base station, wireless card for another desktop and a wireless card for a laptop. Now after reinstalling quite a few times I got the base station and the computer it's connected to, working. Now I tried installing the notebook card. After a few installations, it worked. In the same room I was able to enjoy my cable connection without any problems. But when I stepped out of the room just a few feet from the door, the connection lagged. And when I went downstairs to a room right below the basestation, the connection simply stopped working. Now, the box says it's suppose to work 300 feet away from the base station through walls, ceilings and floors. I thought this was weird because when I installed a wireless card on a desktop that was on the other end of the house and downstairs, the connection worked fine, still a bit laggy. So if anyone out there knows about wireless networks, knows about Microsoft network stuff, or knows tips on how to boost the base stations signal, I would appreciate you posting your knoledge.
