   Hello,

we had a presentation about the 11n standard at our Wi-Fi workshop recently, please find it here:

    http://www.rediris.es/eventos/foro-wifi/2008/802.11n.pdf

I want to start soon with an 11n draft 2.0 AP here at the office. I will tell you my impressions.


   regards,

   José Manuel.

Hello mobilities,

does anyone have some experience yet with those not-quite-standard 11n
Draft 2.0 wireless devices?
I don't have myself, but reading up on some real-life tests revealed not
exactly great results. The test in question had a Linksys WAG160N and a
Santa-Rosa (Intel 4965AGN adapter) on the other end. In 20m distance, a
speed of 37 MBit/s (link encrypted with WPA2/AES) was measured. A
Linksys Atheros-based adapter got 59 MBit/s - better, but still not a
smash-hit. [c't 11/2008, p. 60]
Those numbers didn't particularly impress me.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
