Please recommend me a good standard for my home wireless network

[Guest Juan I. Cahis]

Dear friends:

 

Please recommend me a good standard for my home wireless network. I

want to update my wireless router and I am a little confused about the

standards "A", "B", "G", "N",....... etc.

 

The conditions are that my new router should adhere to the fastest

standard for home wireless networks up to now, and that my computers,

ranging from a three months old MacBook Pro to a four years old IBM

Thinkpad should be able to connect to it.

 

Please recommend me a *standard*, not a router brand and model, who

could not be available in my Country.

 

Thanks a lot again!!!!!

Re: Please recommend me a good standard for my home wireless network

 

"N" Class is an unratified standard by IEEE. A four-year old ThinkPad

would not have native "N" Class support. There probably isn't much risk

in deploying an "N" class setup, but unless you have a specific need for

that high a Network throughput, I'd probably get a "G" Class router w/

NIMO technology.

Here's a recent article on the "N" Class standard:

802.11a -- very old signals -- slowest network -- not widely used

anymore

 

802.11b -- faster that (a) and still old

 

802.11g -- was the fastest signal which provided compatibility with

(b)

 

802.11n -- newest signals -- fastest at the momment -- backwards

compatibility with both (g) and (b)

-- This would be the best choice since it does (b) and

(g) signals and

has longest area of coverage.

And to add to that last msg....

 

802.11b seems to be 11mbs

802.11g seems to be 54mbs

802.11n not sure. 110 sticks in my mind.

 

Problem I see with N, is that is not only not a standard yet, but it

exceeds a 100mb router.

 

My logic here on my 802.11g, is if its really that much a need for

speed, I have a jack and wire near my chair upstairs on the laptop. I

plug it in! 100mbs. No protocol, no handshaking, no security.

Connection!!!!

802.11n is become a "standard" now. Can possible do upto 300Mbps.

 

As with every wieless networks, you should / must use some type of

wireless security for the signals, unless you want to be "surcharged"

for over using the Internet connections. Use either WPA2 or WPA

security so that you can authorized which PCs, or who, can your

wireless network. Several Internet service providers (ISP) will tack

on a surcharge to your Interent service if they feel you are over-

using the Internet access. Some may even consider charging you for a

"comercial" grade Internet accesss if they believe you are using an

unsecured wireless WiFi access.

Actually, I remember 'a' equipment being widely available after 'b' was, and

'a' is quite a lot faster, but has lower range. 'a' also uses a frequency

less susceptible to interference from other sources. 'g' combined the speed

of 'a' with the range of 'b'.

Why ask HERE? This question has nothing to do with XP. Better to ask

in a networking group, but regardless.....

 

Ask elsewhere
