Wonderful world of Wi-fi

[Jammrock]

I'm currently sitting on a nice plush chair in a waiting area at work. Connection type ... 802.11b wi-fi, Cisco style. I must admit that I am very impressed. Surfing the web it at the same speeds as sitting at my desk wired. Only data transfers and emailing (server based exchange messaging) seem a bit sluggish.

Makes me want to put wi-fi in at home with a nice new LinkSys 802.11g router and cards.

The only question I would have is, does anyone have any Inetnet and LAN gaming experience with wi-fi? If so, does going wireless adversely affect your ping times for fps games?

If it's not that bad, I may have to drop the cash for wi-fi.

Doesn't effect your ping times unless you're pumping out some data (such as being the server for a game), or if other people are using the wireless at the same time.

And even then it's a couple milliseconds. Nothing horribly adverse.

Worked fine for me on a Linksys 802.11b.

I got a Dell 600M Centrino based laptop and its great surfing the web out on my back deck in the sun...though the laptop gets a bit hot to the touch

I've been using it on my laptop at work for the last few months. It's great..... I can take my laptop all over without ever logging off the network. Yes, I can walk outside away from the buildings with my cup of coffee and still work....LOL.

I know it's a conspiracy to keep us working more...LOL

But it's so COOL!!!!
