108mbps Wireless Network


Recommended Posts

I would like to know if I was to use the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router (WRT55AG) with Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G PCI Adapter (WMP55AG), would I be able to achieve double the speed (ie 54mbps x2 = 108mbps), because the router could send data on both the 802.11a and 802.11g standards, or would you need 2 PCI Adapters in the one desktop, with one configured to the 802.11a standard and the other configured to the 802.11g standard.

Also, I have heard that the 802.11g standard has now been finalised but the speed has to be reduced to approximately 20mbps due to compatibility issues with the 802.11b standard. Is this True?

Fowen: Because things like Wireless standards are just specs that go through it. PHP, C++, hardware help is better for forums as each problem is slightly different and you may not know where to start. I know what you mean, however :)

you would need an A and a G card (two separate ones) in your computer, and then have the two bridged

even then it wouldnt work... considering both standards never transfer at their rated speed... you may get 54mbps with the 2 cards...

Not on a LinkSys since LinkSys uses a Broadcom B/G Radio and a Atheros A radio. With NetGear and D-Link A/B/G Routers,Access Points, NICs - it is possible as those use Atheros A/B/G chipsets and supports the Super A/G 108Mbps mode which gives 90Mbps effective thruput.

Ok, thanks everyone. I will look at the "NetGear and D-Link A/B/G Routers,Access Points, NICs". 90mbps is good enough for me, i just needed a replacement for wired ethernet. Thanks for the Help

Just for your info... NetGear officially announced the 108Mbps and 108Mbps is now shipping...

By the way, Netgear's turbo mode (108mbps), would it require 2 NIC's, because it only appears to requre one. It seems that if you use 1 Netgear NIC with another Netgear NIC (of same type) they should both operate in turbo mode (108mbps). :o

Take a look here: http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WAG511.asp?view= :woot:

I'm basing my information on this:
