Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

hi guys, my dsl's been pissing me off lately having to wait like 5 minutes to buffer a 5 minute clip on youtube, here's my setup i know we got some network gurus here so tell me if this is possible

Right now i got dsl from quest for $26+ tax i get 20-30k downloading ----. My neighbor has comcast cable that gets 30-50k and is wiling to share his internet, I have his wireless key, I have another neighbor with an unsecured wireless network from a satellite provider that gets about 20-30k downloading. Lately i just use my dsl for email, myspace hmt and ---- like that and switch to my neighbors wireless for you tube, but i dont want to hogg his bandwidth. Is there any way I can connect to both my network and his, and maybe the other one, at the same time using a wireless router. I have to buy one any way for my printer?

I dont think so. Unless theres a trick to bridging connections

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

Pretty much.

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

all of those speeds suck. I can't beleive that the guy with cable is that slow. Maybe just a ---- site you are getting the video from.

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

My high speed cable is like 2k. :l I pay $82/month for internet and basic cable.

Wireless networks suck. I have to reset mine at least once every two weeks because it just forgets what's going on. ::)

Just steal off the other neighbor, its hilarious how many times you can pick up a signal like that. Datalogging in my civic, tim picked up a signal from one of my neighbors, and my girlfriend in Florida is picking one up from one of her grandmas neighbors.

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

use a dishnet or other generic satelite, tape or secure wirless usb key to location of lnb, then run a usb to ethernet adapter and run ethernet cable to your computer, then point the dish towards neighbor.

easy yet extremly effective way to steal internet.

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

That will boost the signal. Try to be sure you have the fastest wireless possible (A, B, G etc.) Also matching manufacturers components can help a little.

what if i get two wireless adapters for my pc, and just use it as a server for all our other computers? will it be able to recognize the two networks and share bandwidth? i know im not the first person to think about connecting a bunch of networks together to get one fast connection?

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

If you were my neighbor and I seen you with that ---- on the side of your house I would probably wig out and start sniping people. :S

Are you sure those numbers are right? I just did a speed test on my comcast connection and I get 4.2 Mbps down and 382kbps up. Do a speed test here: http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/



Yeah you can't use two connections worth of bandwidth and total it up. It doesn't work. You'd basically have two IP addresses since each connection is on a different network. You can however use a Dual WAN router in a type of Load-Balancing setup.

What this will do is it will allow you to use both connections simultaneously, but not both TOGETHER. What I mean is that say both connections are a 1.5 Mbps each. You CANNOT download 1 file at 3Mbps, but you can download two files at 1.5Mbps each. Kinda see what I mean? You can't split the file among two connections, because you can't synchronize them, but you can use both connections.



Nah I doubt doing that will do anything to increase speed. Wireless and wired connection use industry standards in communication, like 802.11b/g. It may make setting up multiple network components easier though as some devices may not like each other if they're from different manufacturers.


I was studying CIS before I switched to mechanical engineering. I used to be a huge computer geek back in high school. I knew so much about computers it's not even funny, but now I've lost a lot of my computer knowledge and made room in my head for car info. lol

by 20-30k, u mean 20-30 KB, right? that only works out to be 160-240 kilobits/sec. if so, i'd be livid. I'd be calling my isp right away..thats bullshit for a high speed line. IIRC, dsl speeds are guaranteed when you sign up.. see what speed you were promised when you signed up and see if its below that or not

---- off, whatever, I don't even care. ---- you, ---- off. I HATE YOU!?!?!?!?! :7

Don't worry, I'm getting downgraded soon. :(

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

Why is mine so shitty? It's always been shitty. I pay $82/month for this shittty internet and there is nothing better available. This town sucks. ----, I swear everything in this town is shitty lowgrade and second class. :3 You wouldn't believe it, but even most of the people here are ------- worthless. The "workers" here are ------- lazy ass drugee losers that only care about where they're going to get their next bag of speed/weed/crack/ or pill from. ------- pathetic. :3 Even the people who represent this place are fucked up drugee losers. :3

im going to look into a dual wan router because my dsl sucks balls

Re: Wireless networks, how to get more bandwith any network gurus here?
 

so if i get a dual wan router like the Linksys WRT55AG can i connect my dsl modem via ethernet, and connect to one ore more of my neighbors networks and still have a private wireless network for file/printer sharing, there has to be some way to do this so somebody help me out! should i buy this routhr or is there a better one? my laptop is 802.11n, is there a dual wan router that can support n?
