Are we near the point where wireless networks can replace good, old Ethernet? A new report from The Burton Group answers that question in the affirmative, saying that the increased speeds and other ...

In theory, 802.11n can zip by your 100Mbps Fast Ethernet at a real-world 160Mbps, but the practice it's usually much slower. No, the Wi-FI vendors aren't lying; the problem is that you have to set 802 ...

Given a choice between fast, 802.11b; faster, 802.11g; and fastest, 802.11n, most people will pick the fastest every time. But, while the IEEE 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, with its up to 300Mbps burst ...

The IEEE will shortly ratify 802.11n – a standard in development for six years and shipping in enterprise products for more than two. Much of the attention has been on the higher data rate, an ...

Illustration: Mick Wiggins What a difference a couple of years makes. In our first roundup of draft-802.11n Wi-Fi routers (see “Wireless Routers: The Truth About Superfast Draft-N“), we found so many ...

Meru Networks, a small Wi-Fi vendor, has claimed to have beaten behemoth Cisco to the Wi-Fi punch, by becoming the first supplier to announce the installation of an 802.11n-based Wi-Fi campus network ...
