802.11
I was studying the book: “802.11 (Wi-Fi) Networking Handbook” by Neil Reid and Ron Seide plus a lot of user’s posts in forums… I did it mainly because my home network connection was very slow and because I wanted to improve my knowledge in wireless connections.
I realized that I made the right decision. I learned that my OpenSUSE wireless driver was not the cause of my slow connection… I just a few steps to tune up my wireless connection and I want to share with you a few tips to do it:
- Make sure that your wireless devices are using the same wireless protocol specification of your router.
- Look up for the best channel.
- Auto negotiate the speed of your device.
Also, consider that encryption reduces transfer speed in more or less factor; however, it’s best to loose a few bit/s than to be easily cracked.
