But, instead we get a hodge-podge collection of products and associated links. Are these paid links? Be honest.

The fact is, like Brian said above, that for most people an upgrade is useless. Let’s see… my current G network speed is 54 Megabits per second. My broadband internet connection? 8 Mb/s.

It’s only useful for connecting to other machines – and only for large and relatively consistent file xfers. Like gamefile .exe’s, DVD’s, streaming music, etc. The once-a-week xfer of a Word doc or a even copying a subdirectory over and G (and even 802.11b) is more than adequate.

Not sure why these kinds of things are considered posts. I seem to be seeing more of this stuff on otherwise good blogs.

Hey, I’m happy to read the blog (for free) so maybe I shouldn’t complain. I just think a little more effort should be put into posts. Even though your blog is targeted at web workers who, we assume, know enough to know this stuff, you and I both know that you’ll be getting a lot of outside traffic to various deep links on the site. You’d think being responsible to those visitors would require a little bit more meat and potatoes, and less product placement links.

Specifically, it’s great if you’re doing any sort of networking between computers in your house. I’ve got a multi-terabyte server in the basement, and wireless N means file transfers/streaming from the server to the clients in my house happen much faster.

However, a lot of people I know use their wireless for nothing more than distributing Internet access to different computers. In that case, wireless N is a very expensive upgrade for very little improvement over 802.11g.
