Wireless G vs N explained

[rasmasyean]

I thought if you put a laptop with wireless G in the N network, everything drops to wireless G.

i`m getting wireless N for me

[RavenPrecept]

From tests that I have done pushing real data over a Windows network N is over twice as fast as G, not 15x. I can get 22mbps on G with a 54mbps wireless link. I can get 47mbps on a 270mbps N link. On standard 100mbps Ethernet I can get 84mbps. However at a distance G is still doing 18mbps whilst N drops to 4mbps. You need a better signal for N to work.

@RavenPrecept doesn't it matter more what your bandwidth is from your ISP?? I mean if you or on a low end bandwidth like 1.5mbps your not gonna benefit from any router no matter how top of the line it is. Now if you got an expensive 50mbps or higher than you'll be sure to see a difference excluding the range factor, but then again if someones home is so big that you loose range Im pretty sure they wont mind getting a second router for their palace. I live in an apartment so range isn't a prob.

[RavenPrecept]

@smokinspef Everything matters, but it's the weakest link that matters most. Eveb with only 1.5meg ISP service it could be your WiFi letting you down if you only have a 1 bar signal. In most cases if you have a steady smooth 1.5meg service you can use YouTube or BBC iplayer and games and everything else. If there are dropouts in your service you might imagine you need 50meg, hence why more speed is sought after.

Great video.

looks fine for me.

[CGH082492]

Great video.

I'm not trying to be mean, but I almost quit watching because of how annoying the guy's voice was.

[wytrokit]

@CGH082492

Agreed. He sounded like David Cross had been crying.

[Corvius47]

Did he just say they work on the same frequency? I was under the impression the wave peaks were much closer together for 5Ghz vs 2.4Ghz hence the term frequency referring to a time interval between the wave peaks or how many peak in a given interval of time . What he is saying makes no sense.

[RavenPrecept]

@Corvius47 N is available in both 2.4 and 5GHz bands. The 2.4GHz band is for b/g/n and the 5GHz band is for a and n.

I have a samsung led 4600 internet tv with the samsung wireless adapter. However I don't have a computer or internet in the house. Do I need to buy a wireless router and will that get me internet access for tv? Thanks

[FunAndJokes]

lets say i get a i buy a wireless G usb adapter can it work with wireless N and wireless G?

[rnbdanny]

Yes of course the Wireless N is the best. But not the best for your health as it is more powerful. Wi-Fi isnt gooooood!

[k8myx]

thanks

If I get a Wireless N Router Can I still use my Laptop that uses G with the new Wireless N Router?

[EricGamer1]

@hewittdj1 Sure you can. All N-speed routers are backwards compatible.

[FFGamer077]

@hewittdj1 Yes you can. The only down side is that you won't get the better speeds from the N Type Router. Other then that it will work for sure.
