I was told that this is the new standard. What happend to
802.11a,b,g?
802.3 is the standard for 10 megabit cards and 802.3u is for 100
megabit cards.... referencing the RJ-45 connectors on the back.
802.11a,b,g are standards for wireless. This router has no wireless
ability.
>>2: now it router has 4 ports on the back, does this mean that I can
only have 4 computers using the router, or can I have 4 computers
with 4 wireless computers on this router. How many can I
have and at with what combination?
It has one WAN and 4 LAN connections as well as a 25 pin printer
port.
>> 3: If I buy this router, do I have to buy siemens wireless card in
order to have wireless acess?
This one doesn't do wireless.
>> 4: Is this a good router to have, or should I get a d-link or linksys
router?
Dunno. Evidently Siemens bought Efficient Networks in February
and that's who's making the Speedstreams. Don't know anything
about them.
