Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Airport Extreme and Orinoco Gold card

[Brian F. <yo...@ma...>]

Hi,

In regards to experience with an Airport Extreme Basestation.

I have helped a friend set up his home network:

Airport Extreme Basestation, 15" TiBook w/802.11b Airport card, 12" TiBook 
w/Airport Extreme (802.11g) card, Wallstreet w/Orionco Silver pc card 
(802.11b).

Base station is configured with defaults, except it was set to not 
broadcast its name (closed), WEP was originally configured, but now turned 
off.  SMNP access is off. WAN access is off.

All communicate through base station and get IPs.
All print through base station, IP printing in the case of the Wallstreet.
All work with or without WEP turned on.
All get stronger signal than Snow base station which was replaced, a second 
15" TiBook (400) used to get lousy reception if it was further than about 
20 feet from the Snow. Now it gets a strong signal anywhere in the house.

Hope this helps,

Brian
