What happens if I connect to a wireless router N-300 mbps?
474558
The 300 Mbps is based on several key elements, one of which is 2X2 MIMO. This means that the wireless radio simultaneously transmits and receives two independent signals to increase the data rate (spatial multiplexing). The alternative method of using 2 antennas is to simultaneously transmit and receive the same information in each stream/antenna which doesn't increase the data rate, but it improves the link quality by spatial diversity. In a nutshell, if you have two antennas, you'll need two amplifiers (one for each). If you have two antennas and only one is running through the amplifier, the data rate will actually get slower because the amplified signal will be ~100 stronger (13 dB) than the signal that's transmitted/received in the other antenna. At best, it might be equivalent to N150 (assuming you're using a 40 MHz channel).

million bits per second is max capability, not all ways achieved for many reasons.

Viking here: according to Netgear, the N 300 can handle up to 400 MBPS. This is the modem/router I use in my network.

It connects to your wireless router, not your computer directly. The environment that your equipment is in highly affects the distance that it needs to be to the wireless router.Check out the following link: http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/wirelessproducts/f/wifirange.htm

I can tell you that I have around 8 devices on the wifi at once at my house, on the N66U and have no issues. I run some on the 5ghz signal and see 450mb/sec connection. 216mb/sec on the 2.4ghz. I'm very impressed with this router.

That's an interesting question indeed...I have a 450 connection and with the devices connected through the extender the speed does fall albeit not down to 150 but there is a downgrade none the less - however for the connectivity it provides - I don't mind suffering a little less speed once I have internet access - for devices like my laptop that needs the speed I ensure it is closest to my home router so that I utilize that speed....its all a matter of preference

It should work without any problems. To get the 150 mega bits per second (Mbps) speed you must have a wireless router that will work with with "N" Speed. If you have a wireless router make sure that it will handle the "N" speed. If you have a wireless router that is a "B" or "G" it will work with those speeds which will be lower than the 150 Mbps. Most wireless routers today are all three B, G, and N. Check to see if your router will handle the 'N" speed, install the drivers on the CD if Win XP does not install the drivers automatically.

If you have a 2.4ghz wireless phone and other wired or wireless devices like a tv with a remote close to the router or in the path of your tablet to the router they can interfere with Wi-Fi reception. Every time my roommate uses her 2.4ghz wireless phone my Wi-Fi speed went down. We moved them around some and the speed improved.

your processor speed has nothing to do with wireless radio signal frequency. you would need to check your computer's wifi radio transmitter or "wifi band protocol" that is operates on such as the older "a/b/g/n". the 5ghz wifi radio protocol is what this router uses for the newer "ac" (wave of the future) band protocol. details about the abilities of these different letter bands can be found in a google search of on CNET.com. Unless you have some supe'd up computer or wireless device, not a lot of devices are capable yet of using the AC protocol and will likely communicate with this router using the current "n" or older "g" band protocols.

Jeff, I don't believe your connection speed will be limited by the top end of the device, whatever that might be, but by your service provider.

The computer will go as fast as your router will allow, I never had good luck with wireless speeds when playing online games. I always have the best results when I am plugged in, that has no bearing on the computer though, its mostly the wireless fault from the router.

Is your wireless lan adapter built into your system, is so the Netgear WNDA3100V2 connects to a USB port, and will connect to a wireless network. Install the software driverfirst, and you can choose which adapter to use. The Netgear will work at up to 300mbs. Hope this helps, if not let me know.

N is just the next wireless standard (IEEE 802.11). Home WiFi routers have progress from A to B, G, and now N corresponding to speeds of approximately 1.5Mb, 11Mb, 52Mb, and 300Mb. Note that you will only get the 300Mbps speed if your computer (or other wireless device) also has a wireless-N adapter. If it is lower speed, this router will be backwards compatible and run at that speed.Also note that while your WiFi in your house may run at 300Mbps, your DSL connection through your phone line will not. Max speed for this ADSL2 modem are about 10Mbps, so that is about the best you can expect if you are paying for that level of service. N is just the next wireless standard (IEEE 802.11).

Not exactly sure what you are asking me, but it will work regardless of WiFi connections. It just needs to be plugged into a switch to obtain an IP address. If you are talking about using the n300 as a type of bridge, that should work to, but not as well as coming out of your modem or router. Plug one into the wall near your internet connection, then the other in the garage, and viola. Wired internet. Not as fast as Ethernet, but nothing that 99% of the public will notice speed wise, and it is a stable connection. I have 3 separate WiFi connections in my home. Plus, 4 of these (2 of one brand and 2 of another). Everything works great, I can balance bandwidth where I want or need it most.

You should not have a problem. In theory, adapters should be able to connect to any wireless network with a compatible signal (of course that's not always the case in reality). That being said, I've tested this adapter on several different networks, and I've never run into problems regardless of router. However, I have heard that some people can't pick up the 5.0ghz signal from other types of routers (non-Cisco/Linksys), but I don't have evidence supporting that claim other than a couple isolated instances. Good luck!

Yes you will need some sort of router, this will not affect your computer speed.

I would think that it would have to be connected to your router to have access to your wireless network.

If you have a wireless G adapter, you will get no improvement from purchasing this router. You will need to upgrade both your adapter and your router to wireless N.
