RE: Wireless (again)

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

Depends on the hub :)  'More than enough for the casual user' is probably the answer you're looking for - 16 or 32 I think is the norm....

 

PC Pro this month has a review of about a dozen different systems.

Orinico based ones ISTR were considered pretty good.

Buffalo/Dlink/Netgear weren't all that hot......

 

HTH,

I think it is time to dip my toe into wireless ethernet water; but I am a
complete wireless beginner, so forgive the dumb questions.

I guess my requirements/questions are:

How many wireless cards (PCI and PCMCIA) does a hub support?
I would like a 10/100 4(+, 8 would be better) port ethernet hub, with
wireless capability (do they work like this?).
Don't need NAT, DHCP or a firewall (smoothwall covers this, along with
Internet connection).
I want to roam with my laptop, but still connect to the Internet via the
firewall.
What are the recommended brands; I have looked at Linksys and 3com; any dogs
to avoid?

Thanks as always.

Steve
