CanaryNet Basic System
This involves us installing a small waterproof box in a high point (such as your roof or wall) that contains a 108mbps wireless receiver. Two cables will run from this box, one to a power supply and the other cable (ethernet) plugs directly into your PC's ethernet (RJ45) port. (see fig 1).
The Basic System gives you a guaranteed 'hardwire' connection and does away with any need for wireless adaptors etc. The cost of the Basic System fitted is 145€ incl.
CanaryNet Total Wireless System
This is an upgrade to the Basic System.
It includes the waterproof box with receiver installed outside your property, but inside the cables will be connected to a 108mbps wireless router which will send the signal around your home enabling you to connect with your wireless enabled laptop. (see fig 2)
The internal system will be protected by 128bit WEP security so nobody but you can use it. This is the most popular option as it gives you freedom to move around plus the option to connect a cable between the internal router and either a laptop or other internet ready device with an ethernet (RJ45) port. The cost of Total Wireless fitted is 250€ incl.
How to Upgrade to Total Wireless
You can start with the Basic System and upgrade to Total Wireless at a later date.
To upgrade will only cost you 105€ incl.
Without a CanaryNet Fitted system
If you are struggling to connect to the CanaryNet system the most likely cause is that your wireless laptop is not receiving enough signal, there are several options open to you to resolve this.
1: Use your laptop outside in the open air - the walls of the building block the wireless signal.
2: Is to buy a more powerful USB powered wireless adaptor, of a good quality, ideally one that you can put outside for better range, figure 3 shows a good example of two popular brands by Dlink and Linksys, each one retails from around 45€ at time of this publication.
CanaryNet can only guarantee a connection when using one of our Fitted Systems (please see above)
