I worked for Signal as well and Signal and MDI-MD
worked for. I believe that's because of the owner.
Well that won't happen. I was with Signal.
a public message board bashing the owner. In fact, I posted a post on the company board (which was deleted because I mentioned her name) in support of the owner, the gist of which you copied in your big-printed message above. You just said exactly what I said in my post on the company board. LOL.
You know, if you have a problem with her email - tell HER. Don't come to a public message board anonymously and bash her. And don't say all that crap and then say how much you love the company and how she's a good businesswoman and then copy what I said in my post on the other board.
It depends on how far you are away from the signal.
The signal is only capable of certain distances. If you have plumbing pipes between where your router is and where you are trying to use the laptop that could lessen the signal. I don't know all the whys and hows, but have been networking with a bunch of guys who are computer gurus and they tell me that the water/plumbing deflects the signal. You can get antenna that are stronger that replace your current antenna. They aren't very expensive and you can get them at just about any computer store.
You also might actually be getting the signal on the laptop but you may have a conflict and not be able to see it. I met a man who had just bought a laptop that was WiFi compatible but he couldn't get it to work. I can't remember what steps I went through now, but he was connecting, he just had his internet setup so there was a conflict in being able to receive and see that he was connected.
Go to control panel and then click on network and internet connections and you should be able to see there if your laptop is talking with the router and if it is then you need to play around with your ISP settings
If neighbors have DSL, can pick up signal with that same
zz
The signal cannot be picked up on wireless if you
even if you DON'T, they can only pick up and use your SIGNAL for access - not YOUR actual online activity. How this fallacy began is beyond me. If your activity could be monitored just because you use wireless then satellite internet would not exist and Linksys would be out of business. Many MAJOR corporations, banks and government entities use satellite internet on laptops for salesmen, traveling employees and others who work out of the office in the USA and overseas. Do you think they would risk it if there were an actual problem? Your Keystrokes are more likely be picked up by spyware, adware, viruses and worms which are prevalent on ALL internet connections. If any MTSO had a problem in the past it is because their own site was not properly secure - it had nothing to do with the type of internet connection. The MTSOs are denying employment to a lot of good MTs just because they live where DSL and cable are not available. All based on what is, in my book, an OLD WIVE'S TALE.
Yeah - that would mean you don't get good signal out there. sm
But you might inquire about the future plans for that area. Verizon progresses pretty fast.
Fast busy signal
When trying to dial into the Lanier System, I continuously get a fast busy signal. On Friday I had problems (dialing in and getting the dictator mode) and today all I get is a fast busy signal. Any ideas??
I have wireless too and at first did not get a good signal, sm
What my wireless tech told me was to get a telescoping pole from the hardware store like a pole for an antennae. It was 30 feet tall when extended. So he installed my wireless antennae on this pole and now my signal is awesome. So for those of you not getting luck with wireless signals due to trees, hills, etc. get you a pole.
Think of WiFi as a cell phone signal.
Have you ever had a call dropped, or the signal go from 5 bars to 1? WiFi speed depends on the amount of traffic, weather, interference from construction, etc. I think it is always wise to have some form of backup available just in case. I have Earthlink cable, but I also get 20 hours of dial-up with that. I have a laptop, so if my power goes out at least I can download and continue to work with a dial-up connection.
If you don't get your wireless through cell phone signal,
I haven't heard of any other way to get wireless broadband other than through the cell phone companies.
