Re: Linksys announces the WRT54GL's successor: WRT160NL
The 100 mbit ports are somewhat of a letdown, as the (theorical) speed of wireless N is much higher then 100 mbit (600 if I remember).
But anything better then 802.11g is definately an improvement. Now I can go buy a netbook with a wireless N card...

| The 600mbit figure is sort of poorly sourced. It references an article which states that a dual-radio Cisco router can achieve 200mbit, and then probably makes the assumption that you would use the three non-overlapping channels to get 600mbit. Since 802.11n works on both 2.4 and 5.8GHz, this is technically correct. You can theoretically get 600mbit of bandwidth out of 802.11n in any given *deployment*, but by the same logic, don't expect more than 100mbit of throughput in any given *radio*.
And that's 100mbit half-duplex too, keep in mind. So a 100mbit port is sufficient. |
