Faster Wireless Multimedia Streaming

Posted by michael on from the wireless-everything dept.

prostoalex writes "The Wi-Fi Alliance approved Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) technology that allows packet prioritisation to the multimedia data streamed wireless LANs. Broadcom already announced that one of their access points and one reference design are WMM-certified. Other news outlets report that WMM will accelerate Wi-Fi adoption in consumer electronics and mobile devices."

    Pick up a Senao (Engenius Tech) access point... Not only are they 200mw they also have an incredibly low receive threshold.

    Place it near outside wall on the middle floor of the house and voila! Unless the house is heavy brick with rebar you'll get at least some leakage into the yard. If you need more in a certain spot place the AP with a view out the window in that direction.

    Or heck... for 50$ a piece you can get 2 APs and place one on each end of the house (vary floors for better floor coverage)
