How does the NetQuakes seismograph access the Internet?
Most hosts will probably prefer that the NetQuakes seismograph connect to the Internet using wireless networking to a WiFI home router using 802.11b or 802.11g, but it does support connection via an Ethernet cable. To minimize the time USGS technicians spend installing the NetQuakes seismograph, we prefer to provide you with a WiFi router that we know works with the NetQuakes seismograph. You will be given the security key so you can use the router. If we can configure the NetQuakes seismograph to successfully connect to the Internet using your wireless router, we will be happy to use your equipment. If using wireless, the seismograph will need to be located within about 120 feet of the wireless router.
