What wireless Technology are you Currently using

Wireless technology has changed a lot over the years so have you found the need to upgrade. What wireless technology are you currently using?

Re: What wireless Technology are you Currently using

Went wireless G in late November/early December, I personally don't see a need to go wireless N anytime soon.

Re: What wireless Technology are you Currently using

I only have 802.11 n (draft) router because it was a recent purchase. I hadn't a need for wireless until now. Thought I'd go with the "n" standard now so as to take advantage of it when it's ready. The other end of my wireless net is "g" compliant.

Re: What wireless Technology are you Currently using

I love wireless. Have had a wireless mouse when it was almost impossible to find one. I now have wireless kb and mouse combo.

I went thru the 802.11x transition from b to g. The only reason for n might be to getsome knowlege and keep up with the technology but not any time soon. I have both a (2) dlink 624 wireless router and linksys wrts54g.
I get better distance from the Linksys. SO I am currently using it.

Re: What wireless Technology are you Currently using

I have a wireless router and that's about it. I like it because I can use my laptop when my kids are hogging my desktop to play on.
