Hi all! Has anybody compared recieving wifi from router with 802.11n and 802.11g? Is the difference big on our G3?
I have 802.11g and think about buying a new router, because I have poor signal in remote points of my flat (no, it is not so big
802.11n has a better range than 802.11g. And I have noticed the difference between my router and my cousin's router. So go ahead and buy it.

I am looking to get a ADSL Wireless router for use with my computers and the XDA IIs.
The one I have my eye on is the "Dlink DSL-G604T ADSL Router With Wireless LAN Access & Built-in 4-port Switch 54Mbps" - but I noticed that it uses 802.11g Wifi and the XDAIIs has 802.11b, so my question is, is it possible to connect the two together?
802.11b and 802.11g devices will connect with no problems. The worst that can happen is that all 802.11g devices will use the slower speed of the XDAIIs while it's connected.
can you tell me please what frequency of wifi n draft does the hd2 support ,as iam going to buy a new n router soon
any one , please
not entirely sure here but i think most wifi n capable routers will have options for both.
Hi hoss_n2
The HD2 only supports the 2.4Ghz band or 802.11b/g (54Mbps max)
802.11N capable Wifi routers will come in two flavors, ones that use the 2.4Ghz band only and ones that use both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
The devices that use both band are far superior to the single band 2.4Ghz especially when talking 802.11N
The main reason for this is "N" capability for channel bonding
So really any wifi router should support the HD2

first thanks for your reply ,second can the dual band router be adjusted for only 5ghz ,and which frequency is better
I'm pretty sure (95%) that there is a reg tweak to enable 802.11n (it's disabled originally cause it drains battery very fast).
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows whether or not the new HTC Desire HD will work on the 5ghz range, or only 2.4ghz Wireless N?
I can't find the info anywhere.
Thanks
Matt
It's only 2.4ghz
HTC.com specs it as
Wi-Fi®:
* IEEE 802.11 b/g/n
I have a netgear wndr3700, but my dhd won't find the N. It's definitely on. Anyone had any experience with this?
you will have to turn on the wireless n on the 2.4ghz network cos it doesn't have a 5ghz network... Disappointing I know
Hi,
I have a UK Desire Z. The spec says the phone is capable of connecting to b/g/n wifi standards. However I am having trouble seeing my N network on the wireless list. Has anyone sucessfully connected thier phone to an N network?
Are you trying to connect to a 2.4hgz network or a 5ghz one?
It should work on the 2,4 but not on the 5 ghz
I have dual-band router and Desire Z does see/connect to 2.4GHz N network. It does not see 5GHz network. But my 5GHz is running in two channel 40MHz mode, didn't have time to check if switching to single channel would allow Z to connect.
Mine connects fine to my home Wi-Fi network, which is 'N' standard. Not sure what speed it is connecting at, or whether it's dropping back to B/G though.
Do you have MAC address security blocking set on your router, and if so have you told it about the phone's MAC address?

This verifies that answer, changing to single channel on 5GHz will not make a difference.
The wifi radio on the DZ is a 2.4GHz radio.
Hey I'm using the Linksys WRTU54G-TM with Comcast. I get ~16mbps on speedtests if connected via wired. If I buy a new router(wireless n) then am I going to notice a decent speed increase?
Btw I do not use T-Mobile for home phone anymore.. just still use the router
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
Not to your router's internet speed.
Assuming you've got wireless G devices in the house, then those devices will have a faster connection to the router.
Wired connection to the router is likely to be 100Mbps, so more than your internet connection of 16Mbps, so something connected directly to the router is going to have a 16Mbps internet connection.
Wireless connection is much slower, depending on how far you are from the router, you may only have a 6Mbps connection to the router, therefore you can only use 6Mbps of the 16Mbps internet connection.
Think of each connection as being a pipe, 1inch diameter for every Mbps, so you have a 16inch pipe coming into your router.
Any pipes going from your router to your devices that are bigger than 16inches will let you access the whole 16inches, whereas any pipes that are smaller than 16inches will only let you access up to their own diameter.
You will only notice a difference transferring files on your own network. 802.11G is rated for 54 Mbps which is faster then the 16Mbps going to your house. I believe 802.11N is rated for a little over 100Mbps.

wired vs wireless
hey i can tell you difference b/w wired n wireless connection simply...
wired===> more perfomance,less convinience
wireless===>less performance,more convinience
n has more bandwidth and extended range so you MAY see an improvement.
The speed test you're talking about is on wired. Getting a wireless N router won't necessarily do anything for wired connections.
If you have a very fast connection, like something in the ~30-40mbps range, then Wireless G might not cut it. Even though it is rated at 54mbps this is basically never possible in real world scenarios. You need wireless N to reliably push 30-40mbps or higher.
