OK I am planning to get a wireless router and wireless recieiver for my other desktop, but have a few questions.
1. if the router and the reciever work at 2.4GHz how will it affect (or be affected) by my 2.4GHz cordless phone?
2. The distance is around 150 or so feet, so will I get a good signal, the area between the 2 is all open with almost no walls exept the door to the room if you actually do a completey straight line from router to reciever it would have to go out through the brick and acroos the porch through brick back to my room, its complicated but heres a pic of the layout

Can the host computer (with the router) be turned off as long as the cable modem is on , for the other computer’s internet to work? the cable modem stops sending and recieveing when the computer light on it goes off, and when the computer is off the computer light goes off so therefor the modem goes of, power is on and its connected to the cable network just the send/recieve lights go out
the routers and such are 802.11G at 54 mbps, so I am not sure if that is even 2.4GHz but pretty sure it is
1, It shouldn’t have any problem at all. None of my 2.4Ghz phones interfere with the 2.4Ghz AP, nor do we have a problem at work.
2, It all looks good, you shouldn’t really have a problem unless that brick wall is -very- thick.
3, The computer can be off as long as the modem and router are on, the router will act as a computer and keep the modem running.
Yes… b works with g. 802.11g is kjnd of an all encompassing thing. I’m not sure that it works with .11a, but I don’t think you’d want it to anyway. I have a b/g combo card in my laptop and the rest of the cards in the house are g. In the school in which I sat on the tech task force we decided to install .11g instead of .11b because more things were switching this way and kids who already had .11b cards would not have to get new ones. 🙂 Hope this made sense.
An 802.11g access point running in mixed mode (default) will accept connections from B/G cards. an 802.11g card can connect to 802.11b and 802.11g access points. 802.11a cards are generally all three.
Just remember that if the access point is B, you will only get 11mbps, and if your card is B, you will only get 11mbps.
