Re: Can "Enhanced G" really reach 125Mbps?

Hi,

I decided to upgrade my old wireless network, so I went out and purchased an "Enhanced G" router (a Dynex DX-WEGRTR). I also have a Dynex PCI adapter (DX-EBDTC) and a Buffalo Technology WLI-U2-KG125S USB
adapter.


To get any of the "turbo" modes, all the kit has to be from the same manufacturer, and supporting the same turbo mode.

So, I'm curious: Should I actually be able to get these to run at, at display, 125Mbps? If so, any ideas about what changes I need to make?


Does the Dynex PCI adapter support the same "enhanced G" mode as the router? If not, you're SOL...


Mark,

Yes. They actually have two different PCI adapters. One is "regular" G, the other one (the DX-EBDTC), which is the one I got, is "enhanced" G. "125Mbps" is all over the box :).

Although it's not the same mfr as the router, that Buffalo USB adapter is, also, I believe, the "same kind of" enhanced G, i.e., in the settings, I see settings for "Afterburner".

As you mentioned, getting the router and the adapter from the same mfr is suppose to be the best way to insure that the "enhanced" G works. That's why I got the router and PCI adapter from Dynex. As for the Buffalo USB adapter, I already had that from before, but I was also curious if it'd work @ 125Mbps with the Dynex router.

FYI, I've seen some info that seems to indicate that the Dynex router is the same as one that Belkin sells...

Anyway, the thing that's puzzling is in the adapter Advanced configuration (for both the Dynex PCI and Buffalo USB adapters), when I select "Rate", 54Mbps is the highest rate. There's a "Best" which is selected by default, but I cannot get anything higher than 54Mbps to appear in the Windows Systray popup, even though the signal is "Excellent".
