Q. How much does each additional access point cost? Q. If I can get access in my backyard, wont my neighbors also be able to? Q. How can I make sure someone else won't just 'tap into' my network and that my network is secure? Q. I live in a 3 story house. Will this work throughout the house or will I need multiple access points to get the wireless LAN? A. The manufacturer specifications state the wireless access point will work up to 300 ft away indoors. However, this will vary depending on the layout and construction of your home. If necessary, an additional access point can be installed to boost the signal to other parts of your home.
Q. How much does each additional access point cost? A. Each additional access point is $300 installed.
Q. If I can get access in my backyard, wont my neighbors also be able to? A. Every wireless network has an ID that can distinguish it from other wireless networks. This is typically referred to as the SSID (Service Set Identifier) or Network Name. Setting a un ique network id for your wireless LAN prevents anyone from "tapping into" your home network.
Q. How can I make sure someone else won't just 'tap into' my network and that my network is secure? A. Securing your network and your data from "intruders" is an important consideration when installing a wireless network. The Cable/DSL Router we install provides a built-in Firewall. A Firewall is a system that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to a network, it allows data you want to pass like email and web browsing, while keeping intruders out.
Q. How fast is the network? For example, how long will it take me to Transfer 650 Mb of data (about the size of a CD) through the network? A. The network communication speed is 11mbps (megabits per second). A 1.44mb data file (floppy disk) can be transferred across the network in about 1 second, a 650mb data file (CD-ROM) can be transferred across the wireless network in about 8 minutes.
