Re: WLI-TX4-AG300N From what I can find of the spec for the WLI-TX4-AG300N on the web, this seems to be an important point
"...Four Built-in 10/100 Ports for up to 4 Simultaneous Wired Devices..."
So it seems to me that it does not matter what the reported wireless speed is. Devices plugged into the WLI-TX4-AG300N lan ports are limited to a maximum speed of 100Mbps. And of course although an operating system may show a 10/100 port as running or linked at 100Mbps in reality actual transfer speeds are more likely to be in the 60-70Mbps range.
In my opinon Buffalo should have fitted gigabit lan ports to the WLI-TX4-AG300N, that is 10/100/1000 speed which would at least have allowed wireless transfer rates in the 100Mbps+ range to have actually meant something. |

| That is a very good point. Isn't the actual throughput you get from wireless connected at 130Mbps a lot less than you would get from a wired 100Mbps though? |

1 edit | Yes I would have thought so, and Buffalo seem to be recognising that by only supplying 10/100 lan ports. I was intending to buy the WLI-TX4-AG300N for use with my Buffalo WZR-AG300NH router which does have gigabit lan ports. So it might well be able to exceed 10/100 lan port speeds but would not be able to demonstrate that in partnership with the WLI-TX4-AG300N. |

kudos:1 | The Gig LAN will only work at LAN speeds of the slower network device on your LAN. So if you have 100mbps and 1000mpbs then they'll fallback to that. I have that problem so I just place the 1000mbps on completely different setup. Since there is no 1000mbps for WAN yet even though routers have that feature. I only use my 1000mbps with Jumbo Frames on to transfer larger GIG files among themselves using the \\ipgig address. These desktops and servers have dual NICs. One is for the Megabyte WAN/LAN the other one is for GigLAN. |
