I wish to install wireless networking between my PC and
laptop which are currently connected with a 20m long
crossover cable running through the attic. This arrangement
limits me to using the laptop at a fixed point. I have
experimented with wireless networking hardware three times
using different makes of adapters and on each occasion had
to return the adapters and routers to the suppliers because
of problems, mainly, with the hardware, incompatibility and
also weak signals when I moved the laptop to the ground
floor. My main PC is situated in one of the upstairs
bedrooms of a normal 4-bedroom two storeyed detached house.
I still believe that wireless networking is the ideal setup
but just cannot get a reliable system. I would so like to
hear about the experiences of others who have been luckier
than I, and will be grateful if they could also include a
brief description of the system and hardware they have.
