Need some wifi help please ??

Question

Ive got 2 computer in my house which are at a distance of 150 feet approx. & I have 1 net connection of 128kbps I would like to how to share the net and

what would be the speed of net in the other computer.

and is wifi receiver required in both the computers

>> is there any other alternative instead of wifi

Answer 1

1) The best topography would be the wireless router at the center of that 150 foot spread, so the distance from computer to router is 75 feet.  And that's pushing the limit.  If there are any large appliances or RF devices (microwave ovens, cordless phones) in the path from the router to a computer, it probably won't work.

The second best topography would be a 150 foot CAT5E cable between the router and the computer located 150 feet away.  (The cable will actually be longer - up into the ceiling, 150 feet, down from the ceiling) but the maximum length is around 100 meters so it would work.  The other computer would connect to the router either wired or wireless, but over a myuch shorter path.

2) The 120kbps will be shared between the 2 computers.  So if one wasn't doing anything at the moment, the other would have full speed.  If you're downloading large files on both at the same time, the downloads wou;dn't be any faster than 64kbps average each.  (Average.  And the download path to the server might actually be slower than 64kbps.)

Answer 2

connect both computers using lan cards, and share the internet

Answer 3

I assume you already have a router.  If one PC is near the router use the ethernet connection you probably already have.  If you do not want to run a 150 foot cable between the locations, you could install a wireless access point  wired to the router.  Try a wireless N model for best distance coverage.  Get a wireless N adapter for the second PC.  Experiment with placement of the router.  Alternately get a wireless G access point and a high gain antenna for better distance.  see link below

Answer 4

A WIFI connection inside a house of 150 feet?? - BIG House!!!

Depending on the number and composition of the walls between the computers, you will likely need a repeater to get the signal to the remote machine.

If you use a "G" router, repeater and Wireless Adapter cards, the speed on the network will be 54 Mb/s

You do not have to have a wireless card on the machine near the modem. You can connect it with a cable if you wish

If it is possible, a cable connection instead of WIFI may be cheaper and faster, depending on installation costs. You can run Cat 5 cable out to 100 meters (300 feet)

Answer 5

To agregate 2 Pcs speed will be shared with wifi access point router. u must increase internet plan to 512 kbps.
