Well, the DLink DWA-552 performed very poorly in my setup. You can look over my DLink DWA-552 review. So, I decided to go back and get the NETGEAR WN311T RangeMax Next Wireless-N PCI. It has external antenna connection cables that mount to a nice looking antenna box. Let’s see how it faired.

ScanGauge II Onboard Car Scanner
June 16th, 2008 
admin Once you start messing with your car, you immediately want to know what is going on with it. One of the great things about newer cars (1996 and newer) is that they have a great onboard computer system. What’s even better is that you can tap into that computer and get all kinds of amazing [...]
LaserShield Personal Security System
June 10th, 2008 admin An investment in a security system is like putting a central vac system. You can’t take it with you. Well, I guess you could cut all the wires and pull the units, but that would be stupid. In any case, LaserShield is doing away with that by providing a personal security system that you could [...]

June 4th, 2008 admin Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m on a hybrid/alternative fuel car kick lately. What can I say, I run in spurts. There are lots of problems with hybrids these days. The first one has to do with cost. The cost/benefit on the financial side just isn’t really there. The initial cost, ongoing maintenance, and battery replacement [...]
The First Arpanet Message
June 4th, 2008 admin Arpanet (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) was the first packet switching network. It was developed by the Department of Defense and was really the predecessor of the internet. The idea for Arpanet came from Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider (1915-1990), a computer engineer who graduated from MIT. He was head of the Behavioral Sciences and Command [...]
Saving Gas by HHO Acetone and Hypermiling
June 3rd, 2008 admin It’s amazing how the price of oil changes everything. I love that oil futures picture. Now, there are a lot of things playing into that equation: value of the dollar, supply, demand, speculation, etc. I’ll let the economists haggle those things out.
