Home Wireless & PC Setup
For best performance and security, wireless router placement, choice of broadband connection and effective security configuration is more important. Wireless signal strength with true noise tests are ensure efficient installation. Home PCs need to be efficiently set-up, free from virus and spyware, and have adequate security protection which is regularly updated. Files also need to be regularly backed up to prevent losing personal information, and firewalls need to be in place to prevent unwanted access over the web.
Future Proof Performance Beyond 802.11n
802.11n provides a significant increase in bandwidth, however technology under-pinning 802.11n is just as susceptible to interference as 802.11b/g. The net result is actual throughput rates which are lower than rates being advertised. Similarly, 802.11n utilizes "channel bonding" techniques which are susceptible to outside interference. With beam-forming technology, the chances of channel bonding being effective are increased from approximately 20 to 80 percent of the time. It helps guarantee that 802.11n parameters for beam-forming and channel selection are dynamically tuned for optimal throughput. With this technology, the router can reliably support multiple hi-definition MPEG4 video streams along with other data such as internet browsing, email and Wi-Fi VoIP phones.
Home Multi-media WiFi Devices
The following is a selection of multimedia devices now available for the WiFi Home:
WiFi Telephones
Several WiFi phones come with Skype already loaded. They don’t require a PC to make calls and will work anywhere where you have secured or open access to a WiFi network to make free or low cost calls.
