Little-known network equipment maker Linksys has catapulted its way to become the early leader in a market that most analysts believed would be dominated by Intel and 3Com, two well-known brand names that spent heavily on advertising to tout their initial products in consumer magazines.
Intel has confirmed plans to ship its next-generation wireless chips ahead of its previous schedule for bringing 802.11n wireless to its Centrino program.
The draft proposal of the next generation Wi-Fi standard failed to pass a critical vote on Tuesday, emphasising experts' warnings that consumers and business customers should wait until the final draft is completed before purchasing products that claim to be draft compliant.
The long-awaited next-generation Wi-Fi standard has been delayed again and won't likely be ratified until sometime in 2008.
You may be enjoying the convenience of a newly installed wireless solution, but how many strangers are doing the same with your network?
In recent months, wireless networks have received a boost as products based on the 802.11g standard--capable of 54Mbps--have come into the mainstream. Are you ready for fast wireless?
Although Intel garners most of its revenue and profits from such well-known processors as the Pentium 4 or the Xeon, it's unsung heroes like the US$40 915G Express chipset, released earlier this year, that have let Intel become the largest and fastest-growing graphics chip designers on the planet.
Distributed companies increasingly use VPN connections to access and share information. We test ADSL firewall routers that are designed for this purpose.
Wi-Fi gear makers are lining up to lend support to a new security standard, as they try to allay concerns about transmitting data over wireless networks.

They're big and quite ugly, but there's no doubting that Netgear's WNHDEB111 delivers in the 802.11n speed stakes finally!
Though it offers good maximum throughput, the Linksys WRT300N ultimately fails to do the new Draft N standard proud in both mixed-mode and long-range tests. Wait to see how the rest of the Draft N products fare.
The Netgear WPN511 offers outstanding speed when used with its router counterpart, the WPN824, but its performance suffers in mixed-mode environments.
If your priorities don't include long-range connectivity, then by all means get the somewhat ironically named Netgear WPNT511 RangeMax 240 wireless notebook adaptor for its record-breaking short-range speeds.
