not Cereal Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 ok, so here is where it is NOW: have a cable modem hooked up to a NETGEAR WIRELESS ROUTER model WGT624. have a winXP box with a wifi pci card in it. this works. want to hook a mac up to the network. mac has ethernet. can i use an ME101 wireless ethernet bridge to do this? is all 802.11b equipment interchangable? ????? ? so if i have an 802.11b router, i can hook up an 802.11b wireless access point regardless of brand?

deanmass Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Should not be a problem. I run netgear 101's at work and my mac's all pick it up . I have not tried it in bridge mode, but honestly, the PC's are way more finicky than the macs. If you have a problem, download netstumbler for the mac from versiontracker.com In general, all 802.11b stuff play swell together. I have used Netgear, Linksys and Apple products with no issues.

not Cereal Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 uh oh. looks like the router might be 802.11G instead of 802.11b. do G and B communicate together? speed is not a concern for the mac, 10mb/s is plenty fast for what its used for. an me101 runs about $75, but the G version is over $225. cant afford that.

TeleCarlos Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Interesting... I just built my DAW around the A7N8X-E (has some wifi crap adapter). Wonder if I'll ever use it. I think it would be awesome (for others) if they could back up the stuff in their DAW into another comp, "wirelessly"...over the air. I heard of a free program that basically backs up the modified files, never replacing a file with an older version. It was on thw "Screen Savers" show... I"ll search on it..

They are compatible - I have an Airport base station and am extreme card in my G5 and they work fine. "That's what the internet is for. Slandering others anonymously." - Banky Edwards.
