802.11a is what you need to look for for the 5ghz wireless It is mainly used in buisness from my expierences. But it could give you a free area to setup your AP. The biggest downside with 5ghz is that it doesn't usually have the same range as 2.4ghz. As to the channels. 2.4ghz only has...

I would go with cat 6a. Something you will need to start thinking about also is. Locations of Punchdowns, Number of Drops per office, Cable Management, i'm sure others will add more you need to think of.

Double post Sorry

A consultant will help a lot in this scenario. I would have to say you would need to sit down and look at your current needs and find your constraints. If the cabeling is the constraint in your current building than put the money into better cable for the new building. From my own opinion...

I was asked a question today that i could not answer. How fast is 3G service and is there anything better/faster, that you could use to as a mesh for a wan for any company. Well after some looking i found 3g is rated for 14mb down and 2 up, I'm not sure this is accurate or not. and I assume...

If the program is trying to creat 100s of connections to speed up the download it could be flooding your router and killing it. First thing i would do would be to look in the prefrences and see if you can put a limit to how much bandwidth or connections it tries to make.

I have been looking at this device as a possible way to mesh separate locations together, and was wondering what kind of equipment others have used to accomplish this. The version of the PTP 600 I was looking at was the light, which is capable of 150mbs aggregate or 75up and 75down The...

I had a semilar issue, I ended up using some cheap weather proof APs so that i could mount them on top of the building above the trees and get LoS.

DD-WRT is free Linux-based firmware for several wireless routers http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/index.php **Edit** Sorry for the redundant post.

I'm looking to upgrade the connection speed between 2 physical sites. I've been looking at Transition Networks' converter http://www.transition.com/Tran...goryName=SGFEB10xx-12x But when I was getting quotes for the device one of my vendors shot back an additional quote for an IMC...
