?- That's baloney. See
- Pros of 802.11g - fastest maximum speed; supports more simulatenous users; signal range is best and is not easily obstructed
The maximum range of 802.11g devices is slightly greater than that of
802.11b devices...Although the IEEE 802.11g standards effort has created a lot of controversy, hard test data is now becoming available that clearly and conclusively demonstrates that it is capable of higher data rates at longer ranges than any competing WLAN technology.
There is much to be understood about the new 802.11g draft standard, including its history, specifications and implications in the WLAN market, but this much is certain: it combines the best of the existing
802.11b and 802.11a standards, and promises a harmonized future that will encourage continued and rapid market development in 802.11 WLANs. In addition, users will benefit from higher data rates, extended range and compatibility with already installed Wi-Fi devices. ... Figure 1 (page 5) demonstrates that the performance of 802.11g, in terms of both data transfer speeds and range, is better than any of the alternatives that had been considered earlier in the selection process.- That's a reseller, not Senao. I *strongly* recommend you stick with the manufacturer, not some reseller. Use either the link above, or
Both have firmware 2.0.0 available for download. NOTE: Be *sure* you have the Deluxe version before flashing this firmware -- the standard and Deluxe versions are *not* interchangeable!
Please be sure you have this correct latest firmware loaded and the unit reset to factory defaults before proceeding!
