I know this is a repost but I know sopme smart people like to hide from the sunlight in OT.....
Take a crack at this:
At the moment there are 6 of us sharing our place, and i have an SMC barricade 4 port router.
Unfortunately, routing through walls and having cables alll over the place serves mainly to depreciate the view, so I was looking into wireless.
Most likely I'll buy the Access point myself as I love new toys and will eventually give it to the folks, so I will probably get them to pitch in to buy me a card in exchange for using to share out dsl or t1 connection
My question is concerning the dualband equipment. Out of all the dualband access points, which to you see as the BEST.
linksys's offering is nice while I am more inclined to bet on Netgear's "BayNetworks" reputation...
Anyone car to help out?
by the way.....wireless 72Mbps would be WICKED!!
appearantly all of them are just access point so I guess I'll just keep the 4-port router and use the other ports for the DMZ game server and such
One last question I did have was concerning the adapters. Should I expect crappy performance with the adapters without an antenna?
Most likely I will be getting the 54/72Mbps adapter as I need to access the server all the time (I use it for work and website stuff) so everyone else might just get 802.11b cards
I was looking at gettingThis card for myself etc.
we are still thinking about it....since I will be buying the AP, I was going to get something GOOD..real good
and some/just me if not all of us will use 802.11b cards..for the mean time
We might be sharing alot of files in the future too....so that would clog up everything....
A question I did have was about the bandwidth...
72Mbps to whom...everyone? can the AP really handle 72Mbps(9MBps) x 64 = 576MB/s
That is unbelievable
