2 edits | Whats the point??? Who needs 540Mbs? that equates to 67.5MB/s, which is equivelent to todays fastest hard drives at their outermost edge.
I understand when people demand faster speeds for DSL or Cable service, cause now they are limited to 1.5 to 10 Mbs, but I dont think 540Mbs will increase productivity beyond 802.11g native speeds.
Work on security and Range you morons!!! |

| Security's already been done -- that's 802.11i. If you're complaining about range, I'm guessing you bought the crappiest AP available in the bargain bin at Best Buy, then set it up in your basement under your metal desk. |

Actually I got the 2wire home portal that came with my SBC DSL. And I have a range as to where I can access it from anywhere in my yard and home, hell even across the street I took it over and showed it off to the neighbors.
So no actually I bought the best I can afford. And the range I am talking about it the range that these wireless IP's have, I would look for a technology that can cover more range. And 802.11i says nothing about security issues being solved.

Yeah but you will max out the internet connection way before you max out the network connection the starbucks has. |

From what we know by now about anything, security will never be "done" its something that will always be a problem. |

I agree, Work on the range(!!) and security more. I don't need 540Mbps anyway im happy enough with gigabit and 100 mbps  |

Maybe one of them has an OC-12?

That's where people go everyday to pay $10 for a cup of coffee. I'm sure they go there because they are upset that their cable ISP charges extra to host servers. Who could blame them?

Yep, and no computer will ever need more than 640k of RAM either, right? Oh wait...we already invalidated that one.
Point 1. The 540Mbs figure isn't speed, its shared bandwidth. Emphasis on shared. 10 users hitting that AP will get a tenth that figure...if that.
Point 2. Even for a single user, 540Mbs is still half the bandwidth of gigabit ethernet. If there's a need for the latter, there sure the hell is a need for the former.
Point 3..802.11n is still a ways away from hitting the shelves of consumers. Who knows how fast hard drives, cpus, and broadband ISP connects will be in 2007? Faster than today, for sure.
Point 4. The bandwidth figure is a "best case". Worst case is a lot slower...and if we improve the worst case performance to what users really need, the best case goes up as well. If its more than you personally need, don't sweat it.
I'm sure that once 802.11n products are being sold, there will be PLENTY of people buying them....and clamoring for even more performance, even as they're unwrapping the box. |
