619753 2007-12-10 02:06:00 802.11g can support speeds of 54 Mpbs right? But what wireless format can support 108 Mbps?

I'm sure I have seen the 108 Mbps somewhere, but damned if I can find any reference to it now.

619755 2007-12-10 02:13:00 Actually N is faster than 54 and 108. But its more expensive.

108 would be in between. And doesnt have to be N to support 108.

So would 108 have been the G Plus, that was going around a couple of years ago?

619757 2007-12-10 02:31:00 This I would say (en.wikipedia.org)

Super G

And this is Wireless-N (en.wikipedia.org)

Which also supports a longer range than 11.b or 11.g. And 108 I would say.

Some Pre-N spec routers advertise a speed of 108, but YMMV...

619759 2007-12-10 02:34:00 You'll see routers touting "Super G" or similar speeds. It isn't an "official" standard, and is proprietray to the vendor. Basically they all started making use of MIMO - multiple anntenas and clever tricks to get a stronger signal using the multiple paths the signals take between router and client - to boost standard G speed/signal strength. The very same technologies that are part of N. Biggles (121)
