| 628947 | 2008-01-29 07:29:00 | I've been reading some wireless N reviews and haven't found a single one where the performance claims are consistently met. In fact, a lot of comments about avoiding it. What to do???? | wotz (335) | ||
| 628948 | 2008-01-29 08:01:00 | I have found 802.11n to make a huge difference IF you have 802.11n at both ends! i.e. your laptop or PC needs to have an 802.11n wireless card in it to get the benefit of the n technology - better coverage and speed |

| 628949 | 2008-01-29 10:01:00 | ... It would be nice to have remote broadband but it isn't as secure or fast as wired and I can't justify it anyway. I just want to sit on the couch or at a table with a lappie and use it. Security wise it should be OK - but there are others here who would be more up to date than me on that issue. Speed wise? I have a wireless router here. Two computers are attached to it by wires (there are 4 ports on the back for wires), 3 are wireless. I've never noticed difference in speed. Using it. There is nothing quite like sitting on the deck, or in front of the fire, with the laptop and checking emails etc without having to come upstairs first to turn the desktop on to get Internet access. The printer also has a network card so I can print wirelessly from anywhere. Brilliant. Go for a wireless router and connect to broadband through it. |

CYaBRO is right, you have to have 'n' at both ends to get a boost in speed otherwise you only get a boost in range with just a 'n' router. |
