...we should work on all the availability bugs first. Maybe if they expanded the range a little bit, more people could use it. But no we have to increase the speeds instead of worrying about improving the security, stability, and availability of wi-fi.

Re: 802.11i
802.11i is only security and will only require firmware upgrades. It has already been ratified. |

It's sexier to work on new technologies than to perfect existing ones.
Both 802.11a and b have their issues. Has 802.11g been standardized yet??
Then again, which one would be more newsworthy?? |

Where the hell are you getting that? Wireless equipment is FCC limited to 1 watt. You get bombarded by much more than that from AM and FM radio everyday. Do YOU have brain cancer? |

Which IMO is why we have problems with signal levels  They are not allowed to do it right.

Who needs 540Mbs? that equates to 67.5MB/s, which is equivelent to todays fastest hard drives at their outermost edge.
I understand when people demand faster speeds for DSL or Cable service, cause now they are limited to 1.5 to 10 Mbs, but I dont think 540Mbs will increase productivity beyond 802.11g native speeds.
Work on security and Range you morons!!! |

Re: Whats the point???
Security's already been done -- that's 802.11i. If you're complaining about range, I'm guessing you bought the crappiest AP available in the bargain bin at Best Buy, then set it up in your basement under your metal desk. |

Re: Like DSL.....
But the thing is when it comes to technology taking the next step it has to be smaller, faster, and better than the same techology of previous generation.
It happens to be one of those absolute laws of technology you know.
