Re: Airport Extreme (was To iBook or AlBook, that is the question
No issues with the Distance. But I'll tell you what happened on my Home Network. I have Comcast cable. When I had it plugged into a Snow Base Station, I only got about a 187 kps download speed. When I upgraded to Airport Extreme, my download speeds jumped to 378 kps. I have a 17 PowerBook with an Extreme card inside. Hope that helps you.

From: Aaron Willems [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Larry le Mac [EMAIL PROTECTED] What happens if one uses an AirPort Xtreme card in a PowerBook but an 11Mb/s basestation (802.11b) as far as the distance and all ??? No issues with the Distance. Will it be shorter like the Xtreme ? Or longer like 802.11b ? --- When I had it plugged into a Snow Base Station, I only got about a 187 kps download speed. When I upgraded to Airport Extreme, my download speeds jumped to 378 kps. Hope that helps you. Hmm, na.. You had 187 kbps with 11Mb/s AirPort and 378 kbps with 54Mb/s AirPort Xtreme ??? As both download speeds are much slower than the Airport surely it can't be affected by the actual Wireless speed ??? Larry _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

A good 11Mb/s connection should be well enough for a Cable or DSL connection, even a T1. The wireless speed shouldn't affect the download speed. Maybe the physical location of the Xtreme base station or the laptop was not the same than with regular AirPort? -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Airport Extreme (was To iBook or AlBook, that is the question
Technically your right. It should make no difference. All I can tell you, is that both base stations were in the same spot, and I was only 12 feet away right from the base distance, direct sight, no wall interference. I can't explain it, but I'm much happier now. Aaron Hmm, na.. You had 187 kbps with 11Mb/s AirPort and 378 kbps with 54Mb/s AirPort Xtreme ???
