Chiron Taltos's Journal: Home Wireless Network II

Finally got around to installing the wireless card on the Windows machine upstairs. On further advice from my coworker, I purchased a Linksys card, so as to reduce any incompatibility issues. It was comparable to the eMac installation as far as ease. It took a little longer, but not significantly so. Software installation was easy, quick and worked on the first attempt.

There is one down-side. The antennae sticking out of the rear of the Windows box. However, the box is butt-ugly anyway, so it doesn't really detract any further. The signal strength is excellent and the kids love having IM and Web-browsing upstairs. LOL ... I love not having to hear the IM noises downstairs. Looks like money well spent!
