Is this really 108Mpbs?

[Intelman07]

Link Sounds too good to be true....

 

[spidey07]

yes, its really 108Mbs. But I'd like to see some real world tests - like being more than 5 feet away from the antenna.

Yes in a perfect world under perfect conditions it can do 108Mb/s, but in real life you will probally never come close to that

 

[JackMDS]

Yes the internal Circuitry of the hardware would work at this level.

Actual Regular Windows setting will probably yield network "Speed" of 35-45Mb/sec.

Uses two channel sets to double the effective bandwidth. Understand that you won't get 54 Mbps throughput with standard 802.11g hardware, and you won't get 108 Mb's with the Atheros turbo mode. Based on my experience with the Proxim .11a Atheros AP's you won't even get double, but it will improve the available bandwidth, in some cases significantly. The problem you'll face with 2.4 Ghz gear using multiple non-overlapping channels is an increase in the interference quotient, as your using much more of the available spectrum. So if you have some neighbors with 802.11 b or g AP's, or 2.4 phones etc.. the probability you'll run into some interference trouble is greater.
