Hey
I was just wondering if anyone had tried out 11a
11b+ or 11g products and how they rated them.
I'm considering the buffalo WBR-G54 router [1]. This
is based on the proposed 11g standard so its
backwards compatible with my existing 11b kit. The
literature they sent me looks promising, but of
course it would 
The alternative is one of the 11b+ products from
the likes of D-Link or SMC running at 22mbit,
but how long these will remain popular and
supported is anyone's guess.
So has anyone broken the 11mbit speed limit? with
what kit? and how was the experience?

I have tested many G routers and they all get
about 50% of the addvertised range. So you are
looking at about 20Mbps within 1 foot of the
router. At about 60 ft you can allmost cut that
in half. The best bang for the buck in my
opnion would be the SMC Barricade G. It is a
very sturdy unit with alot of features.

I'm currently about 15 feet away and hitting 54mb.
My daughter is upstairs and is hitting about 48.
I'm still going to look for some replacement
antenna's though. So far I'm happy with this one.

Replacement antenas will improve your throughput but
give you a bigger secuirty risk due to you are
increasing your effective range. If you can supply
me with the model of your router I can find
you some high gain antenas.

Mike,
I'm using the USR8054 specs located here:
http://www.usr.com/products/networking/router-product.asp?t
ype=features&sku=USR8054
It has 2 removable antennas with reverse polarity
SMA connectors. I'm using MAC addressing and WEP as
security so I'm not too worried about that. I
would like greater range but hopefully without a
higher cost to do it.
Thanks,
Martin

I will check with my resources and try to find
you the antenas ASAP.

i am running the buffalo 54g kit over a 2
mile distance to 2 clients and have no trouble
with connections as i am using onmi(16dbi) and
high gain(24dbi) antennas i like the buffalo kit
and i do get 54mbs over this distance but it
will drop off to anything down to 1mbs i think
this is a setting in the hardware that it only
uses what it needs as when downloading at the
remote sites the mbs will increase.
The buffalo gear is 54g but if u have any
equipment connecting using 802.11b everyone will run
at 11b standard even if they have 11g cards.
