What is THE fastest wireless router out there?

[Gozu]

Raw speed is the name of the game. i don't care if it eats up 3 bands or if the makers had to strike a deal with Satan to make it. I'm thinking of switching my network to wireless but I hate to lose my beautiful 100Mbps. I know there is no way in hell a wireless will give me those kinds of speeds but what is the closest I can get?

And be wary of manufacturer's specs (remember the U.S robotics 100Mbps which could only pull about 20Mbps?), Independent third parties are your friends.

100Mb/sec. from the Internet?

All Routers Switches are 100Mb/sec.

Unless you mean this: Actually it is: The Best Routers.

No, internet has nothing to do with it. I'll try to put it as simply as I can:

Say I want to transfer 50 Gb of data between 2 computers in my lan. If I do it using a wired router and two 1Gbit/100Mbit ethernet cards, the speed will only be limited to the HD speeds. If I want to do the same thing and I have a wired router and 2 100/10 Mbit ethernet cards, the speed will be somewhere around 75-80 Mbps (9MB/s). If I want to do the same thing and I have a wireless router and 2 wireless ethernet cards (or whatever they are called), the speed will be ???

the ??? depends on the wireless router (and distance, and interference, and God's will, and....).

Which wireless router will give me the most speed?

D-Link or Netgear 802.11g Super.

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.

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

The D-Link seems to have some REALLY nasty issues. Head over to dslreports.com and read THIS THREAD.

I regard every thing that I read as Informative, but not necessarily convincing and call for action.

The thread on DSL report is not convincing.

I would buy the D-Link unwrap it carefully, and try it immediately.

Does not do what it "promises" it goes back.

No wireless is going to come anywhere near your 100Mbps wired. If it matters enough that you want THE fastest, why not wire your house and do gigabit? If they're desktops and the wires aren't currently an issue, wireless makes no sense. From reviews, the most I've seen any setup get is about 50Mbps...that's probably optimal conditions and pushing it at that. I'm waiting for my DI-624 to arrive (laptop use)
