wireless PC connection

Post by acourtjester »

It has be said before that many have no shop web connection for their plasma PC. I just bought one of these for that reason they are cheap and will give me the connection when ever I want it. Just plug it in when needed then remove when done.

I have to tell you I have enjoyed your builds! I do like the USB wireless connectors. Some...not all will require an update to the driver and some special software. I am not sure if that one is like the ones we have had issue with but if it requires a special software install it may mess with your ESS connection and it may time out periodically. Something to consider if your running a Ethercut.

I use a wireless connection for my shop and it works great. Although I did have to install a range extender for the signal to reach the house with a strong enough signal.

I just installed a regular wireless card in the Plasma PC and shared a file where I drop my Post Processed TAP files.
I run Sheetcam on my Laptop...
