Wireless Network

DI-624.jpg (32256 bytes)Wireless Network. The most recent upgrade in the computer arena has been a wireless network. I went with the 802.11g D-Link Xtreme G products because of an advertised speed doubling capability called “Super-G”. Supposedly it will allow a maximum transfer rate of 108mbps as opposed to 802.11g’s standard max rate of 54mbps. By using this with the HTPC, I was finally able to get rid of an Ethernet cable that had been lying in the floor for a year and a half. I have a PCI card in my HTPC and a PC-card in my laptop. In testing without Super-G, I can take the laptop to the farthest point in the house (4 walls away) and get 48mbps. I still need to do some more testing to see if the alleged speed-doubling really does anything, but either way, I got an excellent deal at buy.com, so even if I don’t use Super-G, this system was worth it.
