a co-worker got one of the belkin pre-n models and it seems to be leaps and bounds better than g/a/b stuff.<br />
<br />
Particularly with the older technologies, you were dealing with half-duplex connections where the performance would degrade further with each new user who connects, since for all practical purposes, it was like a big hub.<br />
<br />
newer implementations have tried to get around some of these issues by having tx and rx antenna. You'll still see lots of degradation as you get further away...and just a guess...think signal strentgh ~= 1/distance ^2<br />
<br />
you get the idea. expect bandwidth across wireless networks to have a similar performance degradation.

I have tried a couple of different cards in my computers, and a couple of differnt access points.. Dlink, linksys, belkin. &nbsp;I am not getting the data through the connections near the speed I get by wire, even with dlinks 108g stuff. We run an application that uses and old DBASE database and the database is getting large, is there a difference with the Higher quality wireless products? &nbsp;Or is pulling and using a large data base wirelessly just not going to be done at this time? <br />

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
