This month we will discuss wireless networking. Are you aware of the different types and benefits of the various levels of wireless networking? Do you recognize terms like 802.11 and how about the array of letters, A B G N and 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz? Well, we will discuss these but actions speak louder than words so we will set up a wireless router during the meeting where we can learn and try A B G N and 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. Well maybe. To use all these your laptop has to have the same capability. The router we will use has all these and what's more, it can do it all at the same time. What capability does your laptop have? If you know come and show it off, if you do not know then come and find out.

The router we will use is a Linksys E3000, a router capable of broadcasting on the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands and A B G N simultaneously. For those interested in more technical facts look it up and for others, look it up anyway because some lucky member will take it home after the meeting. This is a top of the line router costing in three figures. The key word here is member. If your membership has lapsed then bring your $25 to the meeting and renew. If it has not then come and possibly collect your dividend. The winner takes home a router worth 5 times their membership fee. As usual, there will be a question answer period where we can discuss other issues as you see fit. Please email known questions to Bill Diamond at [email protected] before hand.
