March 26th, 2010 09:11 PM #1just bought a laptop and its wifi is 80211 n. the sales man said that in order to maximize wifi, i should get an N router.
he also added its ok to use a B or G router, but the wifi will not be maximized.
just want to know if this is true.
thanks

March 26th, 2010 09:41 PM #2Yes, it's true.
The thing to consider is how you're going to use the connection. If it's only for Internet access, you won't need N since your ISP connection will never reach those speeds. But if you have a home LAN and do lots of large file transfers or stream media from a file server, you'll thank yourself for the extra boost.

Everything sir Yoda said + if your house is so big, you might need the larger coverage of N.
As for me, I upgraded to N just for kicks but now that I have a new house built near my parents', I get to use the advantage of N because I can still share my internet, files and printers with them esp since we're divided by many layers of steel reinforced concrete and I-beams which creates crazy amounts of interference.

so if its basic use i can just buy the b/g type. but it would be better to invest in an N type.

Hi guys..Ask ko lang po kung paano lagyan ng password itong router namin? Even though sakto lang ang range niya for the size of our house, I still want to make sure.. Tagal na nito eh di ko talaga alam kung paano lagyan ng PW

March 29th, 2010 10:05 AM #10ride on lang po ako dito.. i hope it's okay.. kung hindi naman.. i suppose transferring to a new thread is okay din...
i used to use a linksys router sa bahay... okay naman... problem ko lang is kapag may isang iphone na nakakabit, other iphones or mac have a hard time connecting sa wifi...
so i tested to use a buffalo wifi router (yung may abang na USB for external disk).... so far the iphone / mac issues have been addressed.. ang weird is, i also have a lenovo laptop (hindi yung thinkpad series, the other one)... hindi maka connect... laging wrong password daw (wpa-tkip) kahit sigurado na ako sa password na tama.. hindi pa rin tnatanggap... i tried connecting through wps.. fail din.... ano kaya pwede gawin?
Toyota Corolla Cross ... because the other 2 are china made ... Toyota is very conservative at how...
MG4 EV Standard vs BYD Atto 3 Dynamic vs Toyota...
