Re: [PLUG] Home Networking Question

[Craig Brennan <kregh99@yahoo.com>]

I have linksys wireless router with Comcast hi-speed and the range on it is pretty good.  I tested mine (I run knoppix on an IBM Stinkpad and it recognizes my wireless card) by setting up the network in my office and seeing if I could get wireless access in my basement and everything seemed to work fine.

Hope this helps.
