USI Wireless Review

(Originally for ethel, but I figured others might find it helpful.)

I do like it.

Out and About
My laptop has a really old internal wi-fi modem that has some serious issues connecting to the signal, so I can't really use it *directly* most places. My husband's laptop, OTOH, is newer and has a better modem and has no problems sending and receiving.

Could be wrong, but I don't think that works as well for a laptop with an internal modem--and it really isn't as easy to transport.

[cloudscudding]

Duly noted. Thanks for the suggestion.

The reliability seems to be pretty area by area. For us the in and out was more like 35% of the time.

Of course, Comcast just boosted the crap out of their speeds so I'm glad I ended up sticking with them. Of course, it helps that I was splitting the cost with more people.

Have you considered buying or making an antenna to boost your reception? I hear the old pringles can works wonders.

[cloudscudding]

For a laptop? And easy transportation?

[bitwise]

C'mon. It'd be totally steampunk.

If I wanted steampunk, I'd get the enameled wood and iron laptop.
