Why will my wireless router only connect at 11mbs instead of 54mbs Is that slow?
Few SuggestionsWhen connecting to your wireless router, there are a few things which influence the speed; 1) Distance from the router - The further away, the weaker the signal will become.2) How many other wireless devices are connected to the router wirelessly - as even though the router can connect you at 54mbs, that 54mbs is split between other wireless network users.(so 2 people with full strength signals connected to a 54mbs router will receive 27mbs each.)3) Wireless channel - If on the same channel as another wireless device, it may cause disruption to the signal.11MBs is not a bad connection - if you are using the internet you will generally be unaffective as 99% of internet connections are 8mbs or less.

Can you get access to LAN of your neighbor through your laptop?
Yes and no.. If they have a wireless, unprotected network, then yes. If you connect to their wireless network, if it's unprotected, and if their computers have network discovery or sharing turned on, you'd have access to whatever devices are on the network. Some folks leave the default Login/Password to their router on as well. More than once, I've been able to "steal" their router away simply by logging into their router and changing passwords and "hiding" their wireless signal. A nifty trick, however, not something you should probably do.

How do you connect to Xbox 360 live live if your computer if far away from the Xbox 360?
There are two ways of doing this.# Wireless Connections# Hard-wired routing Wireless ConnectionFor the Wireless connection, you'll have to purchase and connect the Xbox 360 wireless network adapter. Then you'll have to purchase a wireless router (802.11g frequency). Belkin, Linksys, and Cisco are all reputable brands of internet connection hardware. Depending on the distance from the router and/or the amount of electronic frequency in your home, you may want to either purchase a wireless signal booster or edit the dashboard on the router to increase your signal (this depends on the type of router you have).Hard-Wire RoutingHard-wired routing is just what it sounds like. You run a cable to the wired router at the PC connection. This can be very gaudy if not done properly. Because ethernet ports are becoming a mainstay, you could also wall mount an ethernet port (pick this up at your local Wal-Mart) in your gaming and PC areas, mount the router in the attic (in a dust safe container), and run wires through your attic/crawlspace down the walls to each receptical.
