Scarecrow Man Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Some of the first products based on 802.11n show the wireless standard's performance potential—and problems.During eWEEK Labs' tests, Linksys products based on Version 1.0 of the 802.11n draft standard were indeed fast—faster than anything we've tested to date—but issues with range and interference with legacy wireless networks show room for improvement.The IEEE 802.11n standard promises massive increases in aggregate wireless throughput and range through the use of MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) spatial multiplexing techniques. The standard calls for link rates of 150M and 300M bps, which could translate to as much as 150M bps of real throughput capacity.Full StoryFor those of you not familar, 802.11a, b and g are the current wireless standards.See Wikipedia for more information on IEEE 802.11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
