802.11n Finally RatifiedIt only took them six years to ratify the new wireless standard </sarcasm> so we now have four wireless standards. This will undoubtedly cause more confusion among the consumer as to what the heck the difference is between 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n are, along with speed and compatibility differences/issues between them all. All I know is that since I use the WiFi at my house primarily for 'net access, 802.11g is plenty fast for my needs. For any file serving/moving in my house, it's all over wired ethernet anyway (which is faster than 802.11n -- or at least lower latency and overhead on a 100mbs connection). While my laptop has a 802.11n card in it (a draft-spec), I probably won't be moving to a 802.11n router until there are a lot more on the DD-WRT supported list. Just the same, here's a good guide on buying a new router and some brief differences between the specs. 2 Commentsandrew said on 09/14/09 @ 03:59 PM:I wonder if it will actually work now. All that draft-n ever did for me was break access by causing dropped connections. Same results with two different MacBook Pros with oem draft-n cards and two different APs (WRT300n and Time Machine) Frank said on 09/16/09 @ 06:13 PM: I'm running a fully .11n envionment ... I'm not seeing much above 20Mbs at -50dBm. I thnk you'll see the speeds if you have MIMO. Post a comment |
