My house has gone Wi-Fi - What do I do??
« on: December 28, 2004, 02:06:30 PM »
My Christmas gift to the family was to install 802.11G to the home, so now my wife's PC & my PDA have wireless access to the web. My A3000 is still plugging along via 56k modem via phone lines. I've the Power Up 68060/50 maxed in RAM and the the trusty Highway USB card in my desktop. Also have a Norway card, but not installed (I think). How can I get my ol' girl into the Wi-Fi pool? Thinking of going the USB dongle route, but not sure if it'll work, what drivers/TCP settings/SANA II stuff I'll need to make this fly. FYI: Also running AmiTCP(Genesis). Any input greatly appreciated. TIA :)

Well, I have the router which is functioning as my access point to the web via DSL Cable modem. For now I'm not looking to network my Amiga with the PC or the PDA, just want to take advantage of the speeds that a DSL Cable modem will offer. That being said I don't think I need to delve into Samba just yet do I (Man what a large archive!!)?

Colin: Let me guess...your avatar is the innerds of a Fat Agnus chip, correct?? Cool pic ;) As for the Belkin, that's just a wireless router, right? This I already have, Motorola brand (linksys), up & running. Only want to get my Miggy A3K to chime in with it.

Maybe I'm just befuddled over the term 'bridge'. What I'd truly like to do is make use of the USB port on my Highway card, and was looking to simply plug in either a wireless USB adapter/transmitter, preferably in a dongle type case. Just trying to avoid tearing down my Miggy to access/install the Norway.

Maybe  we can inspire Chris H. to draw up a few lines of USB dongle code?? As for the lead helmet...well ya gotta die from sumthin'! ;) Thanks for all the posts, guys. Looks I'll need to be going the route of the Norway/bridge setup.
