Re: [Other] Setting up a Home Network
I don't know enough about that modem to comment on the router/switch setup off the top of my head, but as far as the super G router goes, I have the original version of that router I believe it bonds two radio channels together to get 108 (54+54). The only problem is that you must have another (and probably the same brand) super G wireless adapter on the other end to experience 108mbps. Otherwise it'll just be 54. Also, you might know this already, but if you're just accessing the internet you'll never hit the 54mbps cap, but if it's to transfer files between computers, then you might enjoy the extra benefits of 108. I'm sure they've made improvements since, but with my original DI-624 router, it would never stay connected at 108mbps (I had a wireless desktop adapter to go with it) unless I was right under the router. A couple or three rooms away and it would connect and disconnect so much that the only stable signal I could get was when I actually turned off super G to make it stay at 54mbps. |
