[Wireless] How am able to get better B signal than N, G, & A
I use the Wireless Linksys E2000 and the USB 2.0 Linksys AE1000. I have the router in the middle of the house in the dinning room of the mobile home set to N 300Mbps 5GHz and was getting 1 bar of signal.
Then I plugged the USB adapter into the USB 3.0 port and was getting 3 solid bars of signal. I switch to Wireless B 2.4GHz and got 4 solid bars on USB 2.0.
Then plugged it in to USB 3.0 and got a full solid signal.
Okay so I tried this on Wireless G 2.4GHz both USB 2.0 and 3.0 and could get more than 1 to 2 bars at max.
I also tried this on Wireless A 5GHz both USB 2.0 and 3.0 and was only getting 1 bar at max.
That being said I am done with Wireless. I have switch to the Netgear Powerline AV 200 Ultra.
I am getting the max speeds out of using the AC outlet. Getting way Far greater speeds than I was on Wireless.
lower frequencies have better range than higher. So 2.4 GHz will always do better than 5 GHz. Kind of like audio. You always hear the bass further away than the high pitch tones.
But Nate425 that what I don't get is that the 2.4GHz is used by every and is crowded. Not much is using the 5GHz and is less crowed. That being said you would think that 5GHz would preform way better that 2.4Ghz. Then again could be completely wrong on what I am saying and you could be right.
That being said you would think that 5GHz would preform way better that 2.4Ghz.
A 3x3 system like the Cisco Linksys E4200 when matched with a 3x3 'Client' would provide excellent Range, Bandwidth and Speed much superior to 2.4 Ghz system in a 1x1 configuration.
reply to floydb1982 Lower frequencies propagate further (distance) than higher frequencies. However, higher frequencies carry more information per unit of time.
reply to floydb1982 A mobile home can have a lot of metal in it that will kill 2.4 and 5 gig signals. If you can used line-of-site between computer and router, it might be better.
Ken1943 are you saying I should put my computer desk and computer in the hallway??? Like that would not go good with mama. Besides I dumped wireless and switch to the Netgear Powerline AV 200 Ultra.
I am getting the max speeds out of using the AC outlet. Its so way faster than wireless. B: 11Mbps 2.4GHz A: 54Mps 5GHz G: 54Mbps 2.4GHz N: 150Mbps/300Mbps 2.4GHz & 5GHz
