Keeping Your Wireless Network Secure [Guide, ExtremeTech]
Because they use radio signals, wireless networks are inherently vulnerable to hackers. All it takes to breech an unsecured wireless network is a wireless-enabled notebook or PDA, some free downloadable software and a bit of spare time. That's why any wireless network, whether for Mom and Dad at home or an enterprise with thousands of employees, needs to take wireless security seriously. Surprisingly, many do not. Of 500 firms recently polled by Jupiter Research, less than half have implemented security solutions for their wireless networks. Wed, 08 Oct, 2003 | 63 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Review: U_S_Robotics 802.11g Wireless Turbo Multi-Function Access Point (USR5450) [Review, TomsHardware]
U_S_Robotics 802.11g's wireless access point is based on Texas-Instrument's 802.11g chipset and features upgradeable antennas, superior range and viable data rate speeds. It's a good all-around 802.11g product, but a 100Mbps access point it's not. Sat, 27 Sep, 2003 | 295 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Building a Wireless Home Media Network Server [HowTo, ExtremeTech]
The "PC Revolution" may be well behind us, but PCs continue to change how we interact and play with video and audio content. From PVR applications that turn TV content into digital video files, to storing an entire music CD collection on a single hard-drive, the PC still has a little revolution left in it after all. And when you add wireless network to the mix, things get really interesting. Thu, 25 Sep, 2003 | 99 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
D-Link DWL-G520 & DWL-G650 Adapters Review [Review, Digit-Life]
Last time we reviewed USB adapters for wireless networks of the 802.11b standard. Easy to connect and fast adapters are an excellent solution in many cases.

So, we will speak about the latest modification of this standard marked 802.11g. But first of all let's see who and why may need it.

Go Wireless Part II: Unwiring It Up [Guide, ExtremeTech]
The most beautiful part of wireless is what isn't there: wires. Behind every PC lurks a jumbled mess of cables, and the joy of 802.11 is that you don't need to litter your house with Cat-5 to get complete network connectivity.

The Mad Hatter meets the MCSE [Article, AcesHardware]
Taking a 100% Microsoft client-server systems environment and simply adding Linux based desktops to the mix is a bit like dropping a mongoose into a snake pit -- short term savings on licensing and hardware will be eaten up by increased support costs and decreased operational stability.
One alternative is to adopt Unix throughout the enterprise, earning savings in the 40% range while improving reliability and performance by combining centralized processing with simplifed networking, desktop smart displays, and enhanced user control over corporate data processing.

SMC 8013WG Wireless Cable Modem Gateway [Review, EnvyNews]
To be on broadband, specifically cable internet, you of course need a cable modem connected to your network card which is most likely rented from your ISP. If you want to share your connection with your family, you most likely bought a router with a built-in hub or switch. And if you’re feeling frisky, you take the next step by getting a Wireless Access Point (WAP) to let your laptop or PDA swing freely around the house while still connected to the internet. Things are starting to pile up in the corner, aren't they? What if I told you that you could have all three of these wrapped up together, and have it be half the price of those three devices combined.

Review: Linksys USB VPN and Firewall Adapter (USBVPN1) [Review, TomsHardware]
When I first read the USBVPN1's product description, I at first thought that the folks at Linksys had lost it. But midway through writing a somewhat snarky news item about the USB VPN & Firewall Adapter, the light dawned and I realized what Linksys was up to - making an inexpensive portable mate for their extremely popular BEFVP41 and BEFSX41 VPN endpoint routers.
