wireless router (if you want to be wireless at home too) and a wireless pc card for your laptop.

 

wait you want to use he DSL connection at home on your laptop at school?

 

^ That's what I was saying to myself... wouldn't the school need to have wireless DSL in order for you to use it?

 

most schools have a wireless network set up

 

That I know... but it would work with wireless dsl?

I assumed most college lines are T1.. etc... I wasn't aware they were compatible

 

you need a super powerful device that no one has....

wireless range from a router is less than 150ft

 

you need a wireless card and you have to be at a place that has a wireless network. otherwise if youre asking to continue using your home dsl service outside, no that wont work

 

yea


its not gonna happen man.

You're school would need a wireless system setup, and you'd have to register with them.

the best systems only have a few dozen feet signal, ie: my buddy has a wireless router setup in his basement (finished basement, there's a PC down there too) and his room, which is dead opposite end of the house, two story house, so through three floors of house, he gets about 50% signal. So maybe a around 200 feet or so... no way you're gonna get signal at school.

 

in an open field with no obstructions.

and even then 400feet is stretching it.

 

he signed up for a wireless account. which you can use at what they call hotzones.

such as starbucks/McD.
