Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

C&P from f2atv.com im thinking about giving it a shot when i move to my new place :6

I finally got my POE access point mounted on my grid antenna today in between storms.I mounted the whole works in a plastic waterproof Lock&lock box available at Walmart for $3.I attached two conduit clamps to the back for mounting on the mast.Inside I layed out the Airlink 101 AP421W access point already setup in Client mode along with a POE adapter that receives both the power and data thru the cat5 cable.I attached an RP-SMA to N-female pigtail to the AP in order to hook up the heavy grid antenna pigtail N-male.I hooked up all the cable and powered it up inside to make sure everything was working. Everything worked fine so I mounted it on the mast. I took some pictures of the installation.The AP is working fine so far.I am using 35 ft of cat5 cable which comes inside to the POE adapter where the power is provided.The cat5 cable plugs into the POE and then runs to my linksys wrt54g router Internet port.I now have wifi thoughout my house with this setup.I am running the dd-wrt v23 sp1 firmware.I am receiving a good strong signal from my neighbors Belkin54g router that sits in the back of his house.I am receiving his signal (with his permission) bouncing off the house behind him and even through some trees which you can see in the background.I am currantly using his broadband cable signal at this time.I downloaded a large program a few minutes ago from an ftp site at 390kbps...not bad for 150 yds away via wifi.

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

when you use a 100 ft tower to set up your own wireless network.........then BOOST the signal with a linear.......

1.5 mile radius in the middle of NOWHERE.

every 3 houses in my nieboorhood has wifi, i have a cantenna

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

is that worth saving 40 buccks a month to get a shitty ass connection :1

now if u dont have a job and live with ur parents and ur parents dont know what a tv is i could see that..

but 40 bucks a month for cable internet.. and then unplug the cable line.. throw in a 2 way splitter run one cable to ur tv for free basic cable.. other to ur modem for the internet.. thats free cable.. and internet.. for 40 bucks a month :1

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

why doesn't that work for me anymore. worked great the first time. and then when I had cable internet hooked up again, and tried it, no dice. ???



by the way i pay 20 a month for my cable internet. comcast 6 month promotion. when the 6 months is up, cancel and do it again.

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Doesn't work for me either :-\

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

why can`t u use one of those cheap ass wireless router.

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Because the cable company installed an inline filter at your house. The filter lets internet signals go through but blocks cable tv signals. Go outside at the cable box, open it, and remove the filter. Easy ;)

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Ooooooooo but on mine the line goes straight down from the pole to my mode, and there is a little sliver cylinder looking thing that goes inline with the cable before it plugs into the modem. is that what it is ????

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Bingo, just take it off ;)

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

interesting... i know what i'll be doing tonight! haha


is there a filter I could buy to let more channels in?

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Nope, you need a cable box for that.

You should have all of the basic extended channels if you remove the filter.

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

darn. oh well. when they didn't put in the filter last time, i got like 12 channels. 2-13, is that what they call extended nowadays? :P

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

OMG...THANKX JAGO
:D :D :D :D

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Eh, I guess it could be a bit different across the country with a different cable provider.

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

if I use a splitter and put it directly into the TV I can still see all the wireless channel correct?

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

now jago, this works for cable internet too? so i could go and cancel our internet service and take out this filter thing? lol

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Nope. The cable company knows every cable modem connected to their network. If you don't pay, they can turn it off instantly.

So the best deal is, sign up for cable internet, take off the filter, and get free cable tv ;)

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Nice...

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

hmm, ours doesnt have one. must be because we have the cable and internet...

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Yep. Cancel your cable tv, keep the internet. They will probably come over to install one, then you remove it.

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

What do you mean by wireless channel?

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

It's called a data only filter, I work for Comcast.

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

like all those free channel ABC, fox and all

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Yea you'll still get all of those

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

do most comcast guys give a ---- when they see that you took the "data only" filter off?

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

my girlfriend uses comcast and they dont install filters..

I'll have to go give that a try later tonight Jago

is it that thing in the middle connecting the two ends of the cables?

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

It doesn't look like mine but you can always give it a shot and just bypass it.

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

I just tried it right now and it works :D THANKx JaGO :D :y

Re: Stuck with dial up?? know someone close that has broadband? READ THIS
 

Good to hear Donald! I did it at my house before but the cable company came to hook up someone else in the building, and they put another filter on my line, and put a ------- terminator lock on the box so I can't get back in. I have tried 3 different tools to open it but none of them have worked. Here's a pic of the lock in question, none of the tools have even fit in the hole in the middle yet. It's roughly 1/8" diameter, slightly smaller.

$10 to anybody who knows what will open this and helps me find one.
