Vista - Wireless N

12-22-2007

Ok Barb i think thats it, (the WPA with AES). I chage the router config to
use WPA AES in stead of WEP, and the computer connected at 130Mbps wich means
that is connected on N mode, but this test was right next to the router and
when i go far away from it, lets say 20mts indoor, it looses a lot of signal
and speed like if it was G mode. Is it true that N mode is better (stronger)
than G mode but ONLY if there are no obstacles (walls) in the way?? Thank you
a lot for your help.

walls and obstacles will have an impact, but N still should be
somewhat better than G. there are a lot of variables. the number of
walls can make a difference and the positioning of the (normally 3
for N) antennas can as well.

I'm glad to hear that things have improved, though.
