| What equipment is needed ? |
|---|
Computer with an Ethernet/Network port or wireless capability to connect to a wireless router
Antenna ( points at one of our internet access points )
Antenna Mounting Brackets ( Used for securing your antenna to a roofline or existing tower )
Router/Wireless Router if connecting multiple computers or a wireless one for laptops, notepad, tablet, iPad's or wireless phones
| How Fast is a Wireless Connection ? |
|---|
A wireless internet connection's speed depends weather conditions, tower line of sight in your area, and software using the network on your computer ( which could be a virus or SpyWare). A connection can range from your standard dsl and cable internet bundle/lite of 768k on up to 25megs. Business connections carry different speeds.
| What does the equipment look like ? |
|---|
The technology of this equipment changes quickly as you can imagine
Antennas:
Range in sizes from a palm sized antenna to a 24" grilled directional unit. They are all lightweight and are no more difficult to install than a digital satellite dish.
Cables:
Our outdoor wireless equipment has Ethernet network cabling connected to it which is a very small diameter. This places the radio at the antenna, little to no loss of signal through other cabling and requires no software drivers to be loaded on your computer.
| Do I need a phone line ? |
|---|
NO! a phone line is not needed. If you have a second phone line you can actually save money and get a faster speed connection by going wireless and canceling your second phone line. Even more money can be saved by going to a MagicJack or some sort of other voip phone service.
