Wireless-N Technology


For the IT techies and servicemen, this is good news.

I've just installed a Wireless-N Router for a friend's office, and guess what? Forget about those one-touch installation, unlimited port forwarding features & etc. Our concern is always the Signal Strength & Quality kind of stuffs.

I've the router installed inside a store room (not server room) behind a wooden door and the nearest 6 PCs were like 5metres away. and the results were astonishing (at least to me). We're getting 270Mbps at 100% Strength! For my Wireless-G Router at home, I'm getting like 54Mbps at 100% Strength within 5-10metres, and 11Mbps at 33-40% Strength about 20-25metres (behind some walls).

However, I believe putting the Wireless-N on a 5metres radius test is an insult given its 'improved formula' over Wireless-G.
