Multiple Desktop Computers
 
There are 2 ways to connect multiple desktop computers to the Internet. You can also mix Standard and Slim Case computers with no problem. You can also have a non-wireless laptop with this system.
Each method has it's own pro's and con's. Here's our offerings and explanations for each type:
Method 1 - Preferred
We install a Workgroup Bridge Radio, antenna and coax cable, plus a router and all necessary CAT5 ethernet cabling to connect 2 or more computers together. This method allows 2 or more computers to get on the Internet independantly from each other. It's like having multiple Internet connections in your home or office!
Multiple Desktops |
Installation includes a Workgroup Bridge Radio, Router, Antenna and cabling for 2 computers |
$325 |
Distance Installation |
If you live more than 4 miles from one of our transmitters, you will probably need the High Gain Antenna. Some closer in situations may also need this option due to trees and other obstacles |
$390 |
Cabling |
The above includes all cabling for 2 computers. For more than 2 computers, we charge for the cabling and installation. |
$1 per foot |
Switches |
The above equipment allows up to 4 computers to be connected. If you need more than 4, we will quote you for a higher capacity switch - up to 24 ports. Please note - if you have more than 5 computers, we will charge an additional fee per computer per month due to the increased bandwidth you will be using. |

Ethernet Port |
Each computer must have an ethernet port. If your's isn't working or you don't have one, we can install one in your machine |
$20 |

Method 2 - Low Cost
With this kind of installation, one computer must be a Standard Size computer. Computer #2 is fed the Internet from Computer #1 (the Standard Sized one). The advantage is lower cost; the disadvantage is that Computer #1 must be turned ON in order for Computer #2 to get the Internet. Should Computer #1 get a Virus or become inoperative, then both computers go offline.
Also, you can only have 2 Desktop computers connected maximum.
Important - BOTH computers must be running Windows XP or Windows Vista
