hey if im running 100mb/s and i have a mother pc connected wirelessly through a router will the wireless pc still hue good internet when i play
games like counter strike?

ok here is the question. a friend of mine will get a new pc and is wondering
about how his internet will be.

Advantages and disadvantages of wireless vs. wired networks?
Each medium has its own characteristics and advantages. The biggest advantage of a wireless network is that it does not require cabling and can be implemented quickly. The disadvantages are the networking equipment is more expensive and there can be problems with reception and range depending on the type of building materials in your home or apartment. There is all the matter of speed or throughput. Wireless technology is currently limited to a maximum speed of 11 Mb/s for the 802.11b standard and 54 Mb/s for the 802.11a standard (which also typically has more limited range and a higher price for the equipment). For many applications, most notably Internet connection sharing, this is plenty of speed, especially given that most broadband connections are currently in the 1 - 3 Mb/s today.

Wired networks do not have this speed limitation. Out of the box, wired networking equipment (Ethernet cards, Ethernet switches) have a speed of 100 Mb/s. The same cable (CAT5e) can already support 1,000 Mb/s (Gigabit Ethernet), although the networking gear is much more expensive. Wired networks also are inherently more secure. The disadvantages are mainly in the labor costs of installing cabling in a home or apartment and lack of mobility for the networked device.

Ok lemme get tis straight. .....
"u have a WIRELESS ROUTER and 2 WIRELESS PC connected to the same WIRELESS ROUTER, you wanna know if this would cause any connections problesm while playing some games.."

Correct me if i am wrong..... im just trying to make sure i get u the appropriate info ... and no hard feelings

Wat kinda router is this, i mean the make (Netgear and so on) and other details

Ok here we go, this is wat i could figure out.....
The router ur getting (Belkin) is a good one, all i could figure out from CNET's review is,
"Fast maximum throughput is nothing to sneeze at, but the real test of a wireless router's performance is whether it can maintain high speeds at a distance. If a wireless router delivers blazing data rates at 10 feet but drops the connection as soon as you leave the room, you might as well just use an Ethernet cable. Delivering speed at long distances is where Belkin's Router excels; in fact, it blows its predecessors out of the water. At 200 feet, the router still manages to kick out a whopping 36.4Mbps, three times faster than our previous long-distance champ, the Netgear WGT624. At 300 feet, long after all of the other routers we tested had dropped their connections, Belkin's router was still kicking out more than 30Mbps".

All i get to understand from this is, it shouldnt cause any problem for ur Wired or Wireless PC.

Hope this helps
