72276539 Premium join:2001-01-19 Atlanta, GA	802.11g didn't work And this won't either, hell, 802.11g doesn't work 100% still... why not make something that is a standerd work instead of complicating the mess with yet another wireless standard thats not even done. That would be too easy, but hey, if someone buys this crap before the standard is finished and gets burned, thats on them. And I will laugh at them because there will be people dumb enough to buy the equipment without a standard. Too bad the IEEE couldn't just stop posting what it was doing, would be fun for chip makers to have to see the entire standard before making chips. Would do wonders for getting everything talking correctly. -- some people believe in astrology others believe in technology some people believe in all those -ologies but i believe in swordfish

youngmoore join:2001-03-16 Marietta, GA ·Sprint Mobile Broa..	More to the point what about all those Centeno "Intel" chip sets out there in laptops?? most work with b,a,g but will they be able to upgrade them via firmware to use this new standard?? I don't think so. Seems like the faster we move ahead the more we leave behind. ym

technick Premium join:2000-12-16 Loganville, GA	Stop Developing Faster Speeds Ok.. I shouldn't have to type this, but apparently some bozo's think that faster speeds are going to be the answers for everything. »Wi-Fi Raises New Questions Speaking for a security aspect, wireless is not secure enough to let someone connect at 11 mbs, much less 100 mbs. I would much rather have someone spamming at 11 vs. 100 on a unsecure 802.11n network. We need to ditch the speed jumps and concentrate on dynamic wep rekeying, and other various security methods of securing wifi, and making it affordable to secure home and private networks at a cost lower than buying a new car. Just my 5 cents again.

Would do wonders for getting everything talking correctly. I was going to be the first post to this news article, but I couldn't come up with the right words. Looks like you nailed my thoughts exactly though. Big companies would be stupid to invest in wireless at the rate they are coming up with new standards (unless of course they are just looking for a write-off). Get the existing ones stable first is what I think they should do. - FM -- DCExec Member, Member of 'StarFire Seven' & Undisputed BBR Karaoke Champion!

verolom join:2002-03-23 Eagleville, PA ·Comcast	reply to technick Re: Stop Developing Faster Speeds I disagree. If you want security, get wired. If you want speed and convenience, let the industry do its magic. Security is not a big deal to many of us, we just want speed!!! I've had my wireless router open with no WEP and no MAC filters for almost a year now. I live in an apartment and no one has ever logged in to it yet. Speed is good. Security? You'll never have it!

devrandom I got a pot, full of random stuff here Premium join:2003-06-28	Hitting the floor Obviously the standard is just theoretical speed ( isn't everything in this world that way? )..as was 54g. Interesting eh? The thing about it is that these companies know about the technology already- its already kinda technically there. The IEEE just has to look everything over and make sure everything is alright. Its kinda like software design and waiting for RFCs. I can design a framework application, that essentially will be the final product. Most of the major stuff is done mostly, like the interface, prompts and stuff. The only thing that I have to do later on is just make it standard a la RFC when it comes out. I know what to expect, so I can just adjust the application later and recompile it. Tada, finished application. Didn't even need to wait for a standard. Back to hardware. Of course, in the hardware world, that analogy doesn't exactly fit. It comes close however. Makers build the chipsets, dump in UPnP support, a DHCP server (if you run a dhcpcd linux client and run it to a WGR614--you will smirk at this knowingly), and basically model what they can, and then make everything adjustable via firmware. Unwittingly, this makes the inital hardware semi poor quality (or even better quality initally- depending on firmware settings) until the firmware update comes out..but even then, mostly the standard doesn't change much from expectations, therefore the firmware update is mostly a touch-up.

8744675 join:2000-10-10 Decatur, GA	reply to 72276539 Re: 802.11g didn't work Hopefully if Broadcom gets their feet in first, they will convice all the others to follow a single standard like they did with the short lived HPNA networking cards. HPNA net cards are one of the only peripherals (possibly the only ones) in recent times, where all manufacturers followed the same standard so there is only 1 driver that works for every brand of card. Microsoft and others should learn something from them instead of screwing the public by using proprietary standards that are incompatible with other versions. We still haven't got web browsers that will work on every site, and it's the web developers who take the brunt having to write 3 or 4 different versions of a website to work with incompatible browsers.

I live in an apartment and no one has ever logged in to it yet. Speed is good. Security? You'll never have it! Being just a short jaunt down rt.35 away from me, what does the first person to accept your "invite" and successfully war-drive your 4800/930 connection and run a Kazaa server win?:D fires up the laptop. j/k, but see my point?;) Seriously, Being one who has a wireless LAN up and running, I still feel "naked" even though I have WEP and MAC filtering on. Sure "speed is good" but 100mbps wireless LAN still will not get me a faster connection with my ISP. I would also like to see it more secure first, before they start using those customers who absolutely HAVE to have the latest-greatest anything as beta-test guinea pigs. -- Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
