Have Tonsillitis And Need A Ciggie

Alice Gate2 Plus Wi-Fi

Hello Hello, here is another object

fun deployed by telecom supply Italy with Alice ADSL. This router features as most of the others in circulation and WEP/WAP2 and encryption capabilities as well as wi-fi connections, a router or ethernet modem usb. For those who have chosen the item alice a new phone number is already pre-loaded ready to be Aladino Voip configured on the phone.

Well all this sounds interesting and makes the complete product for 3 € per month. So where is the catch?

The first is the compatibility of encryption between the router and wi-fi cards, I have a network card classic us-robotics following specification 802.11b, 802.11g WEP/WAP2 encryption key, so nothing special . Well not really possible to talk to the router with the card encrypted in any way and I find myself having to give access to any unencrypted in order to connect to the Internet.
Where is the problem, so does not it? Well I am the service provider, I'd do anything to avoid providing a service free to others and then suffer the loss of earnings into the coffers. But Telecom in this case differs from others. After a call to the 187 where I set an appointment with an experienced well advised to specify the problem to avoid having to pay service help-desk € 25 (since we do not plant anything, you do pay for the service very expensive), I had heard it was that my card was not compatible with the router and then to buy those described on the site of the 187 that I list here for convenience: Alice
Wireless USB Adapter G-132, Ericsson Siemens USB Terminal Adapter generic. In general the sum does not mean us-robotics.

The second is on extent of the signal inside the house, but there seems normal for a distance of 6 meters percorere the signal weakens more than 40%. The fact is that the house is not even covered, and then you can not connect multiple computers to the Internet. There are solutions to strengthen the signal but this is a modem-owned Telecom.

I waited 6 months to get the connection to the Telecom and have produced a router on a budget.
the end the only solution is to buy a modem / router that will last for long however, because this technology is evolving so quickly.
