The specs on my Buffalo ls-ws500gl/r1 network drive say it has 1GB network connection and 480mbps data transfer rate. <br />
<br />
I have a WRTSL54GS router, which has 802.11b/g, which I believe the specs describe as having a 54mbps data transfer rate.<br />
<br />
It is safe to say my router is the limiting factor on the speed of PC to Buffalo read/writes?<br />
<br />
And if so, what might be a good 1GB wireless router, plus associated hub for extra ports? &nbsp;I've been generally happy with LinkSys.<br />
<br />
Any guidance on this would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

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.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
