SNB logoWe’d like to announce the launch of our full suite of product research tools for Wireless Extenders, Adapters and Bridges.

We recently described our new test processes for Wireless Extenders and Wireless Adapters and Bridges. So it’s only natural that we have been hard at work testing these products.

We actually turned on the Finder, Ranker and Charts for Wireless Extenders last week and have almost a dozen products tested with the new process.

Today we enabled the Finder, Ranker and Charts for Wireless Adapters and Bridges and have tested five AC1200 USB adapters.

Round-up reviews will be coming in the next week or so for single band and dual-band extenders and AC1200 adapters.

Check out the tools and let us know what you think.

802.11n High Speed Wireless LAN – Overview and Latest Status

The emerging IEEE 802.11n WLAN (Wireless LAN) transmission technology based on MIMO (Multiple Inputs/Multiple Outputs) guarantees throughput of at least 100 Mbps but can deliver up to 600 Mbps depending on the complexity of the radio and on the environment. Although today's 802.11 networks can reach data rates of 54Mbps, the actual throughput is typically less than 30 Mbps due to protocol inefficiencies. 802.11n is expected to deliver true 100 Mbps throughput as measured at the MAC SAP (service access point) interface and will, therefore, more than triple the transmission speed of WLANs.

Buyers Beware! Single Stream Draft 802.11n Products Bring Back Spec Spin

More single stream draft 802.11n products are coming that can't be Wi-Fi Draft 11n Certified. But that's not stopping marketeers from using their tricks to make you think that they are.
