Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why

The first widely deployed standard was 802.11b, while most new hardware uses 802.11g. The latest 802.11n hardware is just around the corner. If you run an existing wireless network, is it time to upgrade?"

  1. Why go wireless? by slugstone · · Score: 0, Troll

    I fine that I do not need wireless stuff. Just drag a network cable around the house. I do not have to worry about stuff in the walls hindering my connection. I will stack my 10Mbit network against your wireless network any day.

    PS. I also do not have to worry about the wife sniffing my pr()n. :-D
