[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 213824, member: 15110"] Why do you want "faster" wireless? 1. Even if you have full-speed wireless, your Internet connection (assuming you don't have a T1 coming into your house or something) is only like 1 to 5mbps (meaning you're not coming even [I]close[/I] to utilizing the full potential of your wireless network speed). 2. Moving huge files across wireless stinks. I have a 802.11g network at my place and moving 400+ megs is a pain. 3. iirc 802.11a = 54mb = 802.11g 4. 802.11a is not compatible with most of the stuff out there (i.e. most cards you buy at the store, most integrated wireless cards in laptops, etc.) 5. There are many channels you can put G on - I set mine to 11 and never have interference problems. A few questions for you - do you currently have a wireless system at home, or other network? Do you live in an apartment or condo building? What other machines are on your network? [/QUOTE]
