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.
