JESUIT - gadget@TTS -Ep26- Belkin Draft-N Wireless

[huthutdudeman42]

can the wireless n routers be changed to support wireless g adapters, like the wireless adapter for the xbox?

[gadgettts]

huthutdudeman42,

Almost all Wireless-N routers will be backwards compatible with all previous protocols in their frequency. (i.e. B/G/N)

.

Peace,

Fr. Robert

your sexy,

oh and hey nice video :D

You're more thorough than most geeks on youtube trying to make a name for themselves.

Instead of just showing off the hardware you're reviewing you actually break things down into chat that even the "non-uber geek" can understand.

Good Job. :)

[meowmix0901]

when you say Draft-N can be upgraded, you mean a hardware or software upgrade? and how will it likely be upgraded? thanks

[gadgettts]

meowmix0901,

That depends on what they settle on when they FINALLY finish the N standard. For some hardware it will be a simple firmware update. For other gear it will not be possible with the radios built into the device.

Peace,

here its going some time in mid-late 09'

[gadgettts]

FRtrain4750,

Well I would like to see it before I believe it! :) -- They've been promising us the N standard for the better part of three years now.

Peace,

Fr. Robert

[MadVirus5000]

hi i have a Linksys wireless G. now if i got this and hooked it up with an eathernet cable or wireless setup to Xbox live. would there be a difference from G?

[gadgettts]

MadVirus5000,

That depends on a number of factors, the biggest being if your current network is congested. If it is, the the QoS features will make a big difference. Peace, Fr. Robert

127.0.0.1 means HOME or its the defult ip adress for your computer. i know this cuz a game called moparscape

[mie7jambi]

I know that t-shirt meaning, but.. hell I'm not going to buy it. Do you have 'cool' t-shirt about IT that not too geeky.. ?

[zeux6]

I just bought the Belkin N1 Wireless Router and this thing was easy to set up and there was a dramatic difference in speed. I used to use Wireless G but the Belkin Router is much faster. Incredibly easy to set up and well worth the price.

[jo3mck]

can u set up xbox live with?

Can u set it up with a wireless adaptor?

it doesn't matter if u dont no its just im askin around.

thnks.

[gadgettts]

Yes to all questions.

[jo3mck]

[lamasacuataempanizad]

Well I can't say Belkin's good because on the package it says easy instalation but I have a router, a wl print server and a wl access point and I havent been able to get them setup, can U make a video on how to install them (I can't take the security Off of the router)

Help Please!!!

[gadgettts]

Hiya... We are trying to put together a series of "how to" episodes for 'gadget' workshop -- We're REALLY backlogged, but I promise to get it out ASAP. Peace, Fr. Robert

Hold the reset button on the router in for 10 seconds and it will reset to factory default settings and the security will be off.

[ps3cube123]

can u guys make a vid on how to connect a belkin router exactly how we need to...caz theres a vid on how to do it and i do it but it wont work

[gadgettts]

Cool... ok... we'll add that to our "workshop" series.

[ps3cube123]

is it the same username...PM ME WHEN YOU DO IT..THANKS

[gadgettts]

Same Channel --- I'll pm you when we do it.

[ps3cube123]

thx

[Bartzy08]

i cant set up the belking wireles

[RaggaRasta]

Why shouldn't we use WEP?

[gadgettts]

WEP takes about 15 seconds to break.

[RaggaRasta]

My SSID is not broadcasted and my MAC Filters are set. Can they still get in?

[gadgettts]

Absolutely. Disabling SSID and using MAC filters will only keep out the most disinterested script-kiddies. Even though you are not "advertising" your SSID, anybody with a packet sniffer and a wireless card can find the SSID. Likewise with the MAC filter, it only takes a packet sniffer to find a MAC that you ARE allowing, then a hacker can "spoof" a legit MAC. In other words, then can fool your AP into thinking that THEY are YOU.

[RaggaRasta]

Ok, Thanks for the info. But I am not FBI or CIA and don't think anyone will try that hard to get into my home network.

[realwirelessman]

Just one word - Xirrus

[Silverjag1997]

Are you a god , i think you are! great show man well done

[nublerjr]

too bad you arent still in San Francisco. you could've hooked up with the revision3 guys.

[chandlerming223233]

It would be great if he was on rev3.

[geekg3rl]

I agree, you really should look into taking this show and turning it into a TechTV thing. Much better that G4

[wafikky]

Good episode again Robert. You do good work. You should consider investing a little more time and money into your production. Who knows how far it could go.

[psyfertech]

i have a belkin and its the little silver 30 dollar one and its been okay to me but sometimes i am just not pleased with it at all

sometimes i have so much problems with it yet sometimes i have so little problems

[gadgettts]

Psyfertech --- I've actually had that experience with Belkin gear as well. I have a few Belkin APs that I've been using as APs... they are awesome... they perform great and I've never as much had to reset them.... However, I also have a few Belkin routers that have been absolutely mediocre. --- Still... these units performed pretty well for us.

[psyfertech]

yeah, its so weird, i get about mabey 50 feet or 100 feet from my house before the signal deteriorates but im thinking of getting linksys when i get a little better on money, are those any good?

[gadgettts]

127.0.0.1 ---- In network parlance, this IP address is also known as "home" --- Therefore, in uberGeek translation, the shirt reads, "There's no place like home" ---- :)

[TheAndyOfAndys]

Great video! I still can seemed to find these things useful, and what 127.0.0.1 is :[
