i "found" this thing here, that i might be able to use on my laptop. it's a Belkin Mimo N Wireless Notebook Card. i have no idea what these things are used for? i hope it gets me some better wireless networks to use the intranetz from? somebody help. revman?

in da butt

well, i installed it and no some blue light is on. i'm hoping when comcast shuts my shit off, i'll be able to connect through other peoples wireless connections or something like that? and i hope this new "micro chip" does something like that to help something like that?

In theory, that's what that would do. You may still need to search around and find a network that's not secured (and folks are getting wiser to not leaving their networks unsecured these days, so good luck). But, yeah, that's that.

PCMCIA or Express card?

ya if you have the right card for your lappy and you installed it and the drivers are installed and working then all you have to do is make sure that it's defaulting to using the expansion card wireless adapter and not the built in onboard wireless. you should maybe go into device manager and disable the onboard wireless...there no reason for it to be enabled if you're using an expansion card and it's also a battery drain.

but ya, if you have a mimo-N card then you're going to get way better signal strength and be able to pick up networks from farther away.

o except for the fact that Belkin is a fucking terrible company....good luck

-so, there's no point in me using it right now because comcast hasn't canelled my account yet right?
-how does i gets into DEVICE MANAGER?

take two steps forward and stick your thumb up your crumb
