I finally have my cup of coffee going. I was up until 5:00 am last night, and 4:00 am night before last, looking over my options and reading router reviews. I've connected my TRENDnet Print Server to my old Linksys WRT54GS using wireless. This freed a RJ45 fast Ethernet port on the WRT54GS router, which I promptly connected to my web/mail/postgres server.
I've decided to focus on wireless going forward. The new wireless 802.11 N runs at up to 300Mbps over both the 2.4GHZ and 5GHz radio frequencies, which is three times faster than 100Mbps wired fast Ethernet. The older 802.11 G wi-fi only ran at 54GHz. With the improvement in speed using 802.11n, I think it's time to start thinking wireless. Below is a link on the importance between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio frequencies, as it applies to the new wireless N 802.11 Standard: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/6581/1/ I narrowed my choices down to the routers listed below: Any feedback, including personal preferences, are welcome. 1) Netgear WNR3500L http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122334&Tpk=WNR3500L 2) Netgear WNDR3700 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122326&Tpk=WNDR3700 3) SonicWALL TZ 100 N http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=SonicWALL+TZ+100&x=0&y=0 4) FVS336G. I would up link my WRT54GS into it for 802.11G 54Mbps 2.4GHz wireless connection. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122213&cm_re=FVS336G-_-33-122-213-_-Product Regards, LelandJ On 10/16/2010 05:49 PM, Michael Madigan wrote: > If I have a cable router with eight 10/100 megabit ports and I take one port > and I connect it to the uplink of a Gigabit switch. > > Then off that gigabit switch I connect two workstations which both have > gigabit network cards. > > The two workstations on the gigabit switch will be able to transfer data > between each other at gigabit speeds even though the router is 100 mbits and > they won't be able to transfer data to the rest of the network at gigabit > speeds. > > Is this correct? > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4cbb29cf.8090...@mail.smvfp.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
