I have an RV, trailer, want to move my desk top in it, so as to be able to connect to WIFI hot spot. I am using Linksys products.
I have a Wireless-G PCI Adapter (WMP54G), installed in the DT.
I have a Wireless-G Broadband Router (WRT54G) in my house connected to the cable modem.
I have the high gain antenna (HGA7T) installed on the Router.
I have on order another high gain antenna (Trendnet TEWIAO6D) for the PCI adapter.
I have every thing working while in my house, antennas only a foot apart. I expect to move the PC out to the camper after receiving the other High Gain antenna. I also have a PCTEL WiFi Seeker on order, that I will use to insure that the range of the wireless router is adequate.
Wireless Network Settings Network name (SSID xxxxxxx Network Key (WEP/WAP Key); xxxxxx Key Provided Automatically (802.1x): 0 Network Authentication Type: open Data Encryption Type: WEP Connection Type: ESS Key Index: blank
Now where I need some help is in two areas:
What is needed to set up a printer that normally plugs in to the USB port to make it wireless.
How do I obtain access from a hot spot at a truck stop or some other place. If they say I need an access code or pass word, what do I do to apply them.
Remember the subject layman terms, I am almost computer literate.
