thanks everyone.
I decided to get wifi usb adapter -.-
because i try to save money by getting lan adapter (30dollars) but it turned out i have to buy 50ft ethernet cable (50.00dollars) -.- so imma get 40.00dollar wifi one -.-

1. does wifi still works when my internet is wired?

 

[heymoe99]

yes it will work. it connects to your computer. basically your computer will be the "wireless router" (in short terms). your computer has to be on in order for it to work.

Ummm...where do you shop for cables? Did you even check the linked websites. You can get 50 cables for about $10.

Actually, I went and did the work for you. It took a whole 30 seconds. Here's a 50 foot cable for $10.49 with the cost of shipping ($5.49 for the cable, $5 for shipping).

Wow. That was a hell of a challenge.

You also have the option of name brand Cat 6 cable for a $1 more.


Don't go with the USB Wifi adapter. It's junk. I've heard things about it being discontinued. Plus, it's a HUGE waste of electricity as you have to have your computer on to use it. If you're going to go wireless, you might as well just get a wireless router. The Linksys WRT54G is great and only costs $50, which is only $10 more than the cheesy USB dongle thing. Plus, with a router you can use other devices wireless, such as laptops and whatnot.

Do a real ****ing title instead of a non descriptive one, for the love of god man your threads are...ARGH

You legend.

Do you have a $1. If so, you might as well go for the Cat6.

Just check your local walmart. I got a 20 footer for 11 bucks.

i'm not talking 6ft. i'm talking buying a spool of it.

Go to the Newegg link that I linked a few posts back. You can get 50 ft of generic CAT5 for $5.50, or 50 ft of name brand CAT6 for $6.50. I don't know what length you want, but I assume the difference in price stays about the same. Just go to the Newegg link and surf around.

Or you can get 50 feet for $5.50 plus $5 shipping at Newegg. Twenty feet would be cheaper.

Mines like industrial protected stuff that wont rip after a week of use

 

[heymoe99]

304.8m (1000ft)
cat6 $110
cat5e $75

cat5e will hold gigabit speed (up to 100m, 328ft)
cat6 will hold gigabit+ speed

is it worth the extra $35 ???

You mean the cables you get at Wal-Mart? LOL!

Those cables at Newegg are fine. I've bought several from them; others have given them good reviews as well. My bet is that you didn't even look. Nice.

All your wireless devices are sharing the same frequency, along with others that live around you. That also included cordless phones, microwaves, just keep adding more to your collection if you want. When I had my home built, I had them run Ethernet through the walls for a jack in every room, before the house was finished. (Almost every room. )
