wl-500g deluxe + wl-330g accespoint

[lebowski]

Hi there,

I have a couple of questions:

I own a Asus WL-500g deluxe. Know I would like to strengthen the wireless
network, would a wl-330g be allright to use ?

And if I buy it ? Can I just plug it in to a power socket and the wireless
network will be stronger. Or does the 330g also need a ethernet cable ?

Also if I turn on the afterburner on my 500g do I need special wireless
network cards ?

Thanks for helping,

Cheers,

Chris

Anyone have an answer ?

Anyone have an answer ?

it is supposed to work, but not out of box as you have to configure the devices first

i don't know the price difference but otherwise you would be safe by buying a second wl500g (deluxe)

the WL-330g does not support afterburner
and yes you need an afterburner capable card to use this technique e.g. WL100g Deluxe, and some newer WL100g, and Linksys Speedbooster products

oké thanks

But at the moment I am not using a afterburner capable card.

So just plugging a wl330g in to a power point (and off course setting it up) should strengthen the wireless network ? So I won't need to plug an Ethernet cable in to the 330g ?

thanks again,

Chris

I don't know if you did manage with your choice (hope you did ) but i use a wl500g and just bought a wl330g.

First i won't exchange my wl330 for any wl500 !

I use it as an ethernet point for my console, and also like now in AP to extend the wireless for my laptop.

- the wl330g stores the 2 config (ethernet or AP) & just a button to switch.
- it is small and nice white
- once configured (with RJ45 connector & PC) just plug it to power and this is it.

I don't know if i will try afterburner because i use work laptop and it uses intel beurk card that can't automatically connect to AP but well .....
