I understand that in order to get my wireless modem to work at the wireless N speed, I need all my devices to support wireless N.
I know my modem support wireless N.
And I know I may not notice much difference in speed, but I'd like to see if I can get my computers / devices working at wireless N.
I'm just wondering if theres some sort of tool which will tell me if my devices support wireless N.
I hope I'm not going to be told, that I'll have to check the spec of each device by model number etc.
Perhaps theres a way I can make things easier on myself, perhaps I can block all devices and add each one at a time and determine which devices support wireless N that way. My inital thoughts were I could turn on mac address filtering to check this.
I'm just after to some advice to try and make this process as quick as possible
I have windows XP and a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card and it has 802.1h+d. I guess this means I don't have wireless N capability on my laptop ? Question, is it possible that another laptop could use wireless N and another wireless G ? I mean does my wap give you two signals ? – Jules – 2011-06-24T16:11:59.483
@jules Well N is operated on the 5ghz frequency and g/b/a are on the 2.4 ghz so it means the access point needs 2 antenna (one may be internal). I would say yes. While there may be N access points that don't serve G/b/a as well I have NEVER seen a consumer AP rated for wireless N that doesn't have the ability to do both by default. Meaning if you want only N you have to configure it as such by, default most if not all wireless N routers allow B/G/and N. . – Supercereal – 2011-06-24T17:20:10.123
