802.11a wireless

Wed May 15, 2002 12:01 pm

No networking section here, so I figure I'd put this here..

So I'm looking into replacing my 100BaseT LAN connection with a wireless connection.. Now that 802.11a is finally out and slowly starting to replace 802.11b, I was wondering if any of you have had success in implementing a wireless 802.11a LAN. Basically this LAN consists of two machines (possibly a third), connected to DSL/cable. All are in the same room, but I'm trying to get rid of all the friggin cables for everything, hence wireless access. Does anyone know if I would experience any slowdown in access for the following items by doing it via 802.11a vs. 100baseT?

1. playing divx movies /mp3s
2. surfing the net/downlowding from the net
3. transferring files

Again, all the machines that would be connected wirelessly would be in the same room. I'm just wondering if I would get near or close to my 100base transfers that I'm getting now. I am willing to sacrifice some (not alot) bandwidth for wirelessness.
