I hate wireless internets.
« on: March 25, 2011, 01:12:28 PM »
Man, I hate it.
I hate it so much.
I MEAN I REALLY HATE IT

IF WIRELESS INTERNETS WAS A PERSON I WOULD SUE HIM.
I'D SUE HIM IN ENGLAND
THEN I'D BEAT HIM UP
ASKDMFASL;DKMF
I'D SKEWER HIM WITH MY 91/30'S MATCHING BAYONET

I also hate Hughe's Net.
But at least I'm being allowed to mooch (but it only works maybe 15% of the time) for free.

The wireless innertubes are becoming overloaded with too many default channel devices

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

The way it reads to me is that he is being allowed to mooch from Hugh, or whoever.  A friend or acquaintance, perhaps.  It just doesn't work to his satisfaction.
It's another case of "You get what you pay for."

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

HughesNet is a satelite internet company.  They've got an incredibly low limit for total data permitted in a day before they smack you down to 5KB/s or so.  Daily limits are 200MB for the basic residential package and 400MB for the premium one.

If your performance is horrible you've probably hit the daily limit.  Unless whoever you're mooching off says this is just normal HughesNet behavior for them.

Actually, I'm complaining about the reliability of wireless internet.
The laptop here connects 100% every time, mine only some of the time.  After posting this thread it went down and just now came up.
I was mostly whining about how crappy the technology I have at hand is (ie, the adapter I purchased).
I think it's either Windows 7 or something wrong with the router (and windows 7), but it worked 100% when I was here on the same computer last year.  *shrug*
As far as a cap until they throttle you down...no clue.  I doubt I or anyone in the house will ever reach it.  They use their phones for browsing the internet now.

Surprisingly I'm having a similar problem.  I can get my crackberry into my (secure) wireless modem, the green light that says wireless comes on and it browses the internet faster.  But I can't get the laptop to recognize it.   Works just fine when I plug it in to the modem, but what's the point of having wireless and a laptop if you can't browse the intertubez while walking around the house nekkid.

Yes, the laptop has Winders 7

The stuff here is pretty funky.
I'm in the basement (Isn't the basement the Internet's natrual habitat?), directly under the router.
Router and adapter are both Netgear.
At first, it wouldn't connect unless I held it tight in my hand above my head.
Then that stopped working.
So I threw it to my left on this old mattress being stored down here.
That worked a few times.
Resetted the router and modem a bunch.
Reinstalled drivers over and over.
Reboot, try again, reboot adapter, try again, reboot router, try again, reboot everything, try again.
It started working when i squeezed the adapter a different way.
Then that stopped workin.
So I completely turned off Windows Firewall.
I used the lappy upstairs to find new settings that I never even dreamed of to change around.
Nothing worked.
This morning I thought, "why not?" and set the adapter's driver included Wizard program to Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility and when I started it I didn't even see a "Connecting" because it was immediately green and connected.  Didn't make it all the way, but for some reason it makes it so that Windows 7 itself can connect.
Perhaps it gets passed the "association" error that I'm getting through diagnostics somehow.
Hopefully it keeps up.
Watching TV all day is not my idea of fun.

EDIT
Your problem is probably similar to mine.
Except I can't plug into the modem because my computer is downstairs, and I don't know the passwords anyway.
Don't want to dick around with someone else's router.
Plug into it, 192.168.1.1 in your browser, and see if you can find anything amiss.
If your windows diagnostic is telling you some errors, go google them and someone will probably tell you what to do.

Never heard of that...
Regardless, hopefully, soon, I'll be in my own place with super blazing fast internets hooked directly from modem to PC and wont even be sharing it with anyone. :D
