A single G device on N network will degrade performance. No, it won't go to G speed entirely, but it will cause wifi radio to switch to G mode while talking to G devices. Switching has cost, time to transmit X bytes in G mode is greater then usual N, and then switching back - it will severely limit throughput. If you want N to utilize its potential there should be exactly zero legacy devices.
Just dual band (single radio) won't do, simultaneous dual band (dual radio) might be better, but in reality N devices such as video streamers, IP cams, etc just don't support 5GHz, i.e. they're all at 2.4GHz, and thus will be affected by having G device. The only way to avoid negative impact of having G Squeezebox on N network is to maintain extra radio (separate wifi on dedicated router or access point) just for G devices. -- 325xi ( sb3 >> stello da220mkii || simaudio nova cdp ) >> simaudio moon i-5 >> revel performa m20 on *skylan* stands via acoustic zen matrix reference ii and acoustic zen satori sb3 >> audioengine 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 325xi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5661 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77978 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
