Pre-802.11n Offers 4x the Speed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-now-thats-something-isn't-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Belkin said on Monday that they'll be releasing a wireless network card and router that uses pre-802.11n multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology created by Airgo Networks. Belkin said the new pre-n products will provide four times faster speed and coverage area than 802.11b and g products. The new products will also be compatible with older products and in fact will increase performance on those older products."

  1. Its the range, stupid by TekZen · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    802.11b is faster than most broadband, that is fast enough for my uses (and most other wireless uses).

    However, extended range is huge. That means that when the DSL at the coffee shop is down I will be able to use my home connection!
