Orinoco install cd

Even with the constraint of an unfriendly building, once installed, the ORiNOCO equipment was able to see the access point from various distances. The farthest point before the signal was reduced significantly was approximately feet.

The signal depreciated even more until it finally died at about feet. When the quality was still in the acceptable range, network traffic stayed close to 11 Mbps, but when the laptop got more than feet away from the access point, it dropped to around 5 Mbps. While the equipment performed well once it was installed, getting to that point took some work.

Much of our aggravation stemmed from a lack of experience with this hardware and software. To avoid this during your installation, make sure you have the most up-to-date drivers for your systems.

We ended up with three or four different install CD-ROMs and while they seem to be updated on a regular basis, if the date is older than six months, it may be worth a trip to the ORiNOCO Web site to download the updates.

One other general oddity that needs mentioning is that we were never able to get the Access Point to access our test network through a 3Com hub. It would work fine when directly plugged into the test network, but not being able to use the hub complicated our setup and implementation.

After completing this review, we found that our problem was because the port on the Access Point is 10 Mbps and the particular hub we were using was only Mbps. Of course, in all the client computers, the network properties had to be configured after the client device card or USB client was installed.

On the bottom of the box is an RJ port, a power cable port, and two inset buttons for resetting or reloading the configuration on the access point see Figure A. Editor's Picks.
