Current wireless networks are in constant expansion, exponential, I'd say. With cheaper equipment and aparitiaunor wireless high-speed protocols, a test is required antes wireless and wireless routers.
I wrote this post to find answers to dilemmas wireless Internet network users: which router is best and which antenna is better? Expensive equipment worth the money, is new on the market? I have a new laptop, the wireless i choose?
We had the following equipment and start date:
- Subscription RDS (TV + Internet + phone package)
- 300 Mbps wireless router Serioux SWR N300A2
- 54 Mbps Wireless Router TEW-452BRP
- USB wireless antenna Serioux N150UD-USB
- USB wireless antenna MSI US54G/MS-6861
- Wirelss antenna PCI (internal) D-Link DWL-G520 to 108 Mbps
OS is Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, with updates to date, installed on a Intel Pentium 4 (2.40 GHz), 4 GB DDRAM 800, Seagate ST31000520AS 1TB SATA2 HDD. Windows Experience Index is 3.1.
Google Chrome browser is used, only test window open. We used the test http://speedtest.net/ with me, in Galati and Braila server (distance <50 miles).
Test computer and router are in the same room.
The results are below:
Concuziile are answers to questions posed:
1) November wireless equipment worth the money?
- technologies for high speed (300 Mbps) are even faster, have greater scope and worth the money difference
2) I have an old laptop and I want to buy (or have already) and a new laptop. What equipment do I choose?
3) What to choose between a USB wireless antenna and internal antenna on the PCI slot for the CPU?
- an internal antenna, mounted on a PCI slot, is better. The only problem is you have more work for installation (dismantling housing etc.)
4) To choose a cheap router or an expensive one, for the same characteristics of speed and security?
- comparisons that are constantly in IT is "a computer is like a car: Dacia Logan there, there Bentley and Mercedes there." Each chooses after claims by budget: for a home router, Parental control and other settings without profiling, is better and cheaper router .
Good luck shopping and to navigate!
