Belkin 802.11g Wireless Access Point reviewed

Belkin's F5D7130 802.11g Wireless Access Point is one of the first 802.11g APs to be both 11g spec-compliant and support Wi-Fi Protected Access. We found it to be a good performer, but with some limitations that might cause some prospective purchasers to think twice before buying.

Linksys Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge Reviewed

Linksys' WET11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge brought wireless 802.11b bridging to the masses with its combination of low price and easy configuration. With the release of its successor - the WET54G Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge - it looks like Linksys is hoping to dominate the market for low-cost 802.11g-based wireless bridging too.

Linksys Dual-Band Wireless A+G Router reviewed

Linksys' WRT55AG Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router is one of the first dual-band, tri-mode routers to hit the streets. But our testing shows that it perhaps should have stayed in the labs a little longer. Is it really ready for prime time? Read our review and judge for yourself!

How To: Wireless LAN Performance Improvement

Probably the most frequently asked question about wireless LANs is how to improve their performance. Although the focus is usually on improving range, what people many times want is to get a better (or any!) wireless connection from a specific location in their home or small office.

Second-generation 802.11a NTK

The wireless networking world seems to have lost interest in 802.11a wireless LAN products. Although its advantages of operating in a quieter frequency band, significantly faster maximum data rate, and more non-interfering channels than 802.11b were attractive, its range problems and cost premium caused many prospective buyers to look, but not buy.

802.11g NeedToKnow – Part 1

The wireless networking world is a' buzz with the new kid in town, 802.11g. As with most new technologies, some of the buzz is hype, other is rumor, and it's hard to tell the difference! Fortunately, one of the advantages that I have is detailed test data from the first products to hit the shelves, which I can use to help separate fact from fiction. I've also been busy corresponding with both the chip and networking product companies involved in the draft-802.11g market-share battle, most of whom have been very helpful in helping me get a better understanding of this new technology.
