    5Ghz Wireless N Capability

    I am gonna buy a new HP TM2 laptop after few days and I have tried it in local store as there was another piece in ready condition. I using the Broadcom wireless card and the model is BCM 943225 HMB. Even though this is a enormous card it just runs in the 2.4ghz frequency range. I freshly bought the Netgear model 3700 dual band wireless router. This unit broadcasts both the frequencies 2.4ghz as well as 5ghz at the same time. It has four split broadcast radios working right away! I broadcast four different SSID's. I eagerly want to run use the 5 Ghz on my new HP TM2.

    However having only 5 GHz network can also pose serious difficulties. The first is related to the compatibility with your devices. The majority of such cell uses only the 2.4 GHz WiFi and is also the case for most wireless network cards today. So we will have a certified device 5GHz to enjoy them. If the 5Ghz range of a network is smaller, it may well be at risk for security and hack but it is also a problem since you may need to use a repeater between two floors, where this n was not necessarily the case for your WiFi conventional.

    In fact, everything depends on what you do. If you only use the 802.11n, 5 GHz is much more interesting because you can use a more bandwidth on a given channel. Thus, one must mediacenter stream movies will have much better performance on a 802.11n 5GHz network as a wireless 2.4 GHz, avoiding crossing the traditional problems of interference.

    Many specialists are also in agreement on the fact that deploy an 802.11n network in the 2.4 GHz does not really make sense since the 5 GHz is the only one to provide a ground for a major operation protocol. To summarize, the 2.4 GHz is good for the ab and g and 5 GHz is the top for the n.
    The response is similar for people living in apartments where many already lurking WiFi. Indeed, between wireless phones and the proliferation of WiFi, it's better to be where he is the least possible world, that is 5 GHz.

    In the majority, consumer devices with 802.11b/g radios will previously continue living, and it won't be probably realistic to substitute all of those with 5 GHz radios. In reality, lots of consumer devices with implanted wireless interfaces do not yet have 5 GHz versions available. As a effect, you'll most likely have to carry on sustaining 2.4 GHz operation, in any case until it's possible to turn over the legacy client devices over to 802.11n.
