Up until recently, consumer wireless router
technology was unable to keep up with the demand for wireless media
streaming or high capacity long wireless network. While watching your
favorite back-episode of Heroes, the video feed
might periodically stop to buffer more data. In the middle of a
relaxing Sunday afternoon, your wireless streaming music slows down
and, eventually, drops out. And, sometimes the signal is completely
unattainable, making it impossible to watch an interesting podcast or
hold an important video conference.
Luckily, a new breed of wireless routers has
appeared on the market. Using the new 802.11n platform, these long
range routers exceed the performance standards of the older 802.11 a/b
or g technologies. These models deliver transmissions up to 6x faster
than even the newest of the g routers. Specifically, the 802.11n
wireless routers are able to perform at a rate up to 300mbps (megabits
per second) versus the previous 54mbps (megabits per second). Faster
speed means faster buffering, and smoother wireless video streaming. In
the nutshell, speed of wireless router is totally proportional to the
wireless video streaming and buffering. People can also use long range
wireless network within or outside of the home with EnGenius’
Long-Range’ products like smart antennas, range extenders etc.
Leading these new routers is the EnGenius
long-range wireless multimedia router: ESR-9750G. Since 1999, EnGenius
Technologies has been developing wireless communication products for
the business market. Using their expertise in that high-volume digital
environment, the engineers have created a consumer wireless router that
can easily handle the demand for home wireless streaming media. These
long range wireless routers promise high speed with flaw less flow of
data to satisfy your ever surging demand for the speed and streaming
media.
The EnGenius ESR-9750G uses the new 802.11n standard technology, which
allows the device to operate at those remarkably faster speeds. And,
like most of the new wireless routers, the EnGenius model can
communicate on the 40 MHz bandwidth channel, which has the ability to
carry double the data as the commonly used 20 MHz bandwidth. With the
ESR-9750G, you can even set the router to auto select the bandwidth
channel for optimal performance.
Aware of the poor reliability of home wireless routers, the engineers
at EnGenius capitalized on their expertise by making a few powerful
additions to the basic 802.11n technology. Specifically, the ESR-9750G
has three standard upgradeable Smart Antennas with MIMO (Multiple In,
Multiple Out) Technology, a Universal Repeater feature (also known as a
wireless range extender) and QoS (Quality of Service). This wireless
range extender accepts the signals to throws them at the rapid fire
rate using the access points.
To ensure uninterrupted communication, the ESR-9750G has three smart
antennas using MIMO Technology. These smart antennas are able to
mediate the transmissions between wireless devices and the ESR router.
Even with multiple communications, the antennas are able to prioritize
throughput to ensure smooth streaming results. The smart antennas are
compatible and can ensure accurate streaming results.
If you are listening to wireless streaming music with Vista, and your
roommate is playing World of Warcraft on his own wireless laptop, the
smart antennas will act as digital “traffic cops” preventing one signal
from interfering with the other. While the MIMO Technology is not
unique to the ESR models, most routers in its class have only two
antennas. More wireless antennas and wireless range extender result in
a better streaming experience since more data can be handled at one
time.
Also unique to the ESR models is something called the Universal
Repeater Feature (also known as a wireless range extender); this
feature increases the range of wireless communication by redistributing
an existing wireless signal. The EnGenius’s Wireless Range Extender is
the easy way to increase the effective coverage of your wireless
network. Unlike adding a traditional access point to your network to
expand wireless coverage, the EnGenius’s Wireless Range Extender does
not need to be connected to the network by a data cable. Just put it
within range of your main access point or wireless router, and it
"bounces" the signals out to remote wireless devices. Dead spots are
virtually eliminated since the device is able to send out a beacon to
all corners of your home. So if the wireless router is in a home office
in the basement, Mom can still watch home videos over YouTube on her
laptop from the comfort of her bedroom.
And, if your home is particularly large, or you just want the added
assurance of uninterrupted wireless streaming media, EnGenius has made
their antennas detachable and upgradeable. Such antennas are router
friendly also. You can purchase a more powerful set that further
increases the range and sensitivity of your router.
In addition to efficient wireless communication, the new 802.11n
routers improve performance for all your networked devices – including
VoIP, network attached storage and, of course, wireless gaming systems.
With QoS (Quality of Service) Technology, the wireless router is able
to prioritize all forms of digital communication. As expected, the
EnGenius models use QoS, making them a very friendly addition to homes
with multiple networked devices and intensive use of digital streaming
media.
While there are many limiting factors affecting the quality of your
wireless streaming media experience, your router no longer needs to be
one of them. No, you cannot change the speed or effectiveness of your
service provider. And you cannot change the number of people
downloading the same HD video at the same time. However, you can change
the strength and performance of your home wireless network, simply by
upgrading to an ESR-9750G wireless router or through wireless range
extender. Eliminate the headaches and give yourself an optimal
environment for all your wireless streaming media – from digital music
and videos, to games and beyond.
