wireless

I picked up myself a Netgear WG602 Wireless Access Point on Friday. It looks pretty sexy. The product website is here.

It supports both 802.11b as well as the brand spankin’ new 802.11g protocols. That gives me 54Mb on the 2.4GHz band with 11g and the normal 11Mb link on the 11b.

I now just have to find myself some PCI 802.11g cards to utilize the higher speeds. The intention of the PCI cards is to eliminate the need for cat5e/6 cables running down the hallway and lounge room. I also intend on getting a ’shuttle’ type case for the entertainment unit for mp3 & movie playback over a wireless NFS share. I also intend on getting a Sharp Zaurus with a wireless card too, so buying this Access Point is just the first part of this stream of updates to my network ;)
