Quick WinXp Install and Setup, Fast transfer.......2004-09-10

Very quick and the hardest part was finding my cd drive so I could click the setup.exe of the software. I mean my documents, my pictures, when I finally found it I did a double click, and it set itself up. I should note that I also used an access point to connect my dsl and ethernet lines and the wireless connection was between My Computer, I mean, my computer and the access point. They work together by default. I'm not sure about the security of it all, I need to look into that part of it. But I was able to use my computer in the other room and download streaming pornography without running any cables, to me that makes it worth it.

works like a charm.......2002-09-19

I was very pleased to find out how well all of my 802.11a stuff works with each other. I get very fast speeds, I notice no difference than my wired network except I have no wires. I am getting a good signal from about 2 rooms down and I haven't had a loss in connection ever since I set it up (about 2 weeks ago).
