Routers With Speed Booster?
Do 801.11g routers with "speed booster" make any difference or does the
connecting laptop have to have a compatible "speed booster" card installed? I was told that speed booster routers are a waste of money unless the laptop has a compliant card installed. Pegleg |

You need the compatible card which is usually proprietary.

Re: Routers With Speed Booster?
Hi
Many manufacturers of 802.11g Devices add none standard "Speed" capacity to some of their Wireless lines. All of them are compatible with any regular 802.11g hardware. However, to take advantage of the Extra Speed you have to buy the specific matching card from the same manufacturer. Linksys call it Speed Booster. D-Link calls it AirPlus Extreme G Buffalo call it 125. Netgear and few others have similar concoctions. While regular 802.11g yields under best condition 18-24Mb/sec. These Speed enhancers yield under similar condition 28-42Mb/sec. Frame of reference for functional Network "Speeds" , http://www.ezlan.net/net_speed.html Jack (MVP-Networking).
