    Is it possible to use only one antenna on a internal wifi card that takes two?

    Hey there, I also am in the process of upgrading my wireless network card. My main goal is for it to support 5ghz. The only two antennas compatible with my laptop (apparently) are Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260HMW AN and Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160HMW ("HMW" part just means they're Half...

    Question a/b/g/n (2x2) vs a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) - which is better?

    I will be moving soon to my place anyways and then I will build up my home network from ground up, and will definitely consider using Powerline. I'm wondering why isn't it more popular, it seems to be both super practical and easy to set up. One more question regarding NIC: Yesterday I opened...

    Question a/b/g/n (2x2) vs a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) - which is better?

    Oh, that thing. I saw that few years ago, but never thought about implementing one for some reason. I remember reading that some people were having issues with it, so I never really took it seriously. Even if I had an Ethernet cable in my room, I prefer using laptop in my lap on the bed and...

    Question a/b/g/n (2x2) vs a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) - which is better?

    Thank you for your replies, Yeah, I figured those "fancy stuff" wouldn't make much improvement, that's why I sarcastically called them like that. But any improvement is a good thing if you don't overpay it. The main thing for me was a router with good signal and 5ghz network, because soon I...

    Question a/b/g/n (2x2) vs a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) - which is better?

    Multiple reasons: I live in a house and all neighbor's WiFi's around me work on 2.4ghz, so the band spectrum is pretty congested. Also, my router stands pretty close to my wireless landline phone, which (being 2.4ghz device as well) also interferes with the signal. Speed: I have 50mbps...

    Question a/b/g/n (2x2) vs a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) - which is better?

    Hello, I've been considering buying new router which supports 5ghz, ac, beam foaming, MU MIMO and all that fancy stuff. However I've found out that my laptop's wireless network card can't connect to 5ghz network, as it's only 802.11b/g/n, while some other devices (like my phones) can. Later I...

    How to make this setup work?

    I tried that, but it's not working. It's not the same if I plug it in my modem on LAN1/LAN4 or LAN2/LAN3. I asked on my local forum, and one member mentioned that LAN2/LAN3 connections have something to do with VLAN Tagging.

    How to make this setup work?

    Hello everyone, I need your help on how to connect these devices and how to set them up to make everything work. I want to use router as an access point, and that's not hard to make, I did that in the past. My problem now is a bit different: I want to create access point from router, and then...
