Q: How can I make a wireless connection from my "linksys WAG300N" to my "Dream box 500s digital receiver" without using the old-fashioned cable network ?

A: of course you might say that the only way is using a bridge connection , BUT well it work on both my router and my receiver like if there was a cable ?

I don't want to use a cable though because my router is far from the living room I don't want to lose connection because I'm sending and receiving data and sharing encrypted channels.

pls. help because I don't want to buy it and then figure out that it won't work out , might as well bring a long network cable

Ok so a few years ago we got verizon DSL, and we ended up getting the 768kbps or whatever it is around there. How come whenever im downloading from limewire or any website it only goes at about 180kbps?

weird thing though, i was on a wireless laptop that was connecting to this same internet, and when i downloaded from limewire (only songs though) it would finish before it got to its fastest speed, highest was about 480kbps. I know theres no way ill ever get close to even 700kbps, but why not 300 or something, i know im not alone but i just want an explanation. would a new modem help?

I use a Netgear Wireless USB adapter for my laptop. when I want to play an online game, it usually drops me from the game immediately. i can surf the web fine but how can i play online games (like starcraft) without dropping out from the game?

i have dishnetwork for TV and saw a commercial that dishnetwork is now offering internet service. i was curious so i just checked it out.........what a rip-off!!!

you have to pay $199 to LEASE the equipment, not even owning it. they make it sound like it's a good thing because they say that it makes upgrading easier. for $80 a month you only get 1.5 mbps down and 256 kbps up. that's ridiculously expensive for crappy service.

am i missing something here?

Hi,
I'm planning on buying a Linksys WRT54G at Circuit City for $49.99. I've been reading some reviews from cnet.com and notebookreview.com and it seems that it's a pretty decent router. Two quick questions about the WRT54G:
1. I have a cable modem and cable internet connection. If I use my laptop wirelessly from about 40 feet from the router, will I experience cable-modem-like speed?
and
2. How difficult is the setup on a scale from 1-10? I'm not an expert on these kinds of things, but I'm also not a complete dummy. Thanks in advance.
