a.) i have used a dlink router and wireless card for a while, and it worked okay, but i wasn't crazy about it...so i went and bought the wrt54g router...and love it...

b.) if you're gonna buy the wrt54gs router and then only buy the g wireless card...i would suggest it b/c you're not getting your money's worth from the router....

c.) compatibility issues...no...i have the wrt54g router at home and when i go stay with my mom during the week her boyfriend has the wrt54gs router...and i'm on it right now...so no problems...

best advice...either get the 54g w/ speedboost router and card or get the 54g router and card...

definately linksys.

My friend bought a D-LINK DI-624 and it was dropping out constantly. My friend also barely got any signal and he was only about 30-40ft away from the router. I had to build him a cantenna so that the signal would be strong enough to not get disconnected all the time.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
