Usually, to integrate WiFi capabilities into an existing LAN involves interfacing a wireless router with an existing LAN and configuring it as an access point. If it is meant for free public use, then it may not be necessary to encrypt the transmission, otherwise it is advisable to encrypt it with at leas a 64-bit WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) key. Depending on the gain in db of the attached antenna, the radius of wireless coverage can vary from 250meters to close to 450meters. Now comes the stage where we need to extend the coverage of the wireless transmission, there ars several possible ways to tackle this problem, 1 attach by means of a network cable another access point to the existing LAN 2 increase the amplification by adding an amplifier to the initial access point 3 use the wireless access point's WDS (Wireless Distribution System) functionality to add access points at strategic locations to create a wireless mesh. The third method is what I shall focus on in this discourse. Almost all wireless routers at least the more recent models have this function built in, so it will not be an uphill task procuring an AP with WDS functionality. More on this soon!

WEP is dead ! Almost everybody can hack WEP in 15 minutes (pro's do this in a minute or 2). The absolute minimum you should use is WPA. and I suppose you live outdoors or have a 10dB-antenna ? 250m is a lot, especialy indoors, 50m-70m is more realistic imho.

How do you upgrade from WEP to WPA, or how do we check what we have (I know its one of them).

Wireless On The Xbox 360 Without An Adapter.
(0) Alright, I'm not sure if anyone owns an Xbox 360, or uses one at this forum. However, the other
day, while playing video games on my 360, I came across some valuable information. If you have ever
been looking to go wireless with an Xbox 360 this may help you out. You may have realized the very
high cost of wirelss 360 use. The adaptor for wireless is $80+ and of course you will need a
wireles router (about $30), aswell. However, while I was playing Gears of War, a popular game
on the 360, I was told if you already had a laptop (with a wireless adaptor), y....
