What's makes the speed difference? Is it software?

I've been searching a bit, but I can't find any specific data on how it works. From what I've gathered it's just packet bursting technology. But then, they say the range is better to?

What gives?

Log the following page. The differences between the first set of graphs to the second represent the performance differences between 802.11b to 802.11g

Link to: 802.11a/b/g SOHO Routers & Access Points: Performance

Notice how the D-Link and Netgear Super G arewell above the rest of the Crowd.

If saving every $ is not he issue the Super G is the way to go.


Note. If you go with Super G all Wireless units should be of the same Brand.

Channel bonding, using two frequency sets, say channel 1 and 6 (non overlapping channels) + compression for the straight Turbo G mode. That's the mode you'll see the biggest performance gains. Start mixing in the other modes and you'll see speed hits accordingly. Not really a great solution considering interference is already a concern for many WLAN's. Broadcom has a chipset, perhaps coming out this year, that they are claming 125 Mbps signalling rate, and 70 Mbps raw throughput under optimal conditions. This without channel bonding. We'll see but it looks promising. For the stuff you can get now Jack's link gives some healthy numbers for current wireless performance, even at distance.

Usually your posts are right on the money. I've seen this one a few times and it's normally exactly what the original poster was asking for. This time it didn't have anything at all to do with the original post.

No body is perfect!:brokenheart:

In the process of cutting and pasting I forgot the last line.

However ktwebb answer is actually better. :D
