Finally, 802.11ac, like 802.11 versions before it, is fully backwards compatible -- so you can buy an 802.11ac router today, and it should work just fine with your older 802.11n and 802.11g Wi-Fi ...

802.11n at one metre: 30MBps, 10 metres: 20MBps and at 20 metres behind two solid walls: 5-10MBps; Of course these figures are a general guide and I’ll get into examples of more specific top 802 ...

In theory, 802.11n can zip by your 100Mbps Fast Ethernet at a real-world 160Mbps, but the practice it's usually much slower.No, the Wi-FI vendors aren't lying; the problem is that you have to set ...

Given a choice between fast, 802.11b; faster, 802.11g; and fastest, 802.11n, most people will pick the fastest every time. But, while the IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, with its up to 300Mbps burst ...

802.11n will run in both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency bands--currently the homes of 802.11b/g and 802.11a, respectively. The standard will achieve its high speeds by using multiple data streams ...

If you set up 802.11n Wi-Fi just right, you can get remarkable speeds from it. But, as fast as 802.11n can go, up to 300Mbps, Gigabit Wi-Fi promises to more than triple that speed.

With 802.11n and spatial multiplexing, multiple data streams are transmitted at the same time and on the same channel. They are recombined at the receiver using MIMO signal processing.

The best new 802.11n wireless routers deliver strong performance, coverage, and compatibility--but picking the right one for your network is more complicated than ever. Our lab tests reveal the ...

802.11n can operate in either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz unlicensed bands. Most hardware, including Apple's, can operate in a mixed mode, meaning that b, g, and n clients can access the base station, ...

As 802.11n slowly crawls toward becoming a wireless standard, IT managers have to decide whether it's the right time to switch. Unfortunately, the standard is stuck in draft status. Here's why.

Next-generation 802.11n systems promise to considerably improve WLAN performance. But the processing required for the boost sucks up more power than the older 802.11a/b/g networks. Still, many ...

Like lets say under "ideal" conditions, the 802.11n is transferring at 300Mbps. If a router is rated 900 for that band (5Ghz), does this mean there is still ...
