Wireless networking help
For those of you who have trouble with your wireless networking, USA Today's Kim Komando offers some solutions.
She writes There are three Wi-Fi versions รณ 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. Equipment for 802.11b and g is the easiest to find, so we'll focus on these standards. In terms of speed, 802.11b is rated to run up to 11 megabits per second; 802.11g is rated at 54Mbps. Don't expect to achieve these speeds in day-to-day use, but both standards should be fast enough for most home setups.
