Wireless Network Access Point (WNAP)
Set Up Guide


You'll eventually want to share on a larger scale. Let's say that again (say it out loud) ... you'll eventually want to share on a larger scale. Most wireless devices are geared towards the small office / home office (SoHo), and home user environments. As a result, a wireless signal typically propagates past your immediate house (especially if you live in Toronto, where many property lot sizes are about 20 feet in width). Picking up the signal with a good PCMCIA 802.11b card (such as Lucent's Orinoco series, undoubtedly the best card out there in many people's opinions) is easy on either adjoining property. If you wish to exceed that range you'll no doubt need an external antenna connected to your PCMCIA card for it to be of real use to you.
