New Roku XR will add 802.11n Wi-Fi upgrade to cheap media streamer

Stability and antenna more important than 802.11n: Video streams are 4.5 Mbps at best. Even
802.11b can handle it so long as you have a
very stable stream with no radio interference.
In come cases, 802.11b is more resilient
against interference because each pulse of data
occupies a longer transmission period and put
out more energy per bit transfered. That's why
wireless ISPs choose to go with 802.11b.

I've seen smart antenna based solutions on
802.11b or 802.11g that even work next to a
microwave oven that's turned on.; Posted by: georgeou Posted on: 10/22/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
