Router "SpeedBooster" technology question.

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I am trying to buy a router for my home network and I noticed that companies
like Linksys offer some router with what they call SpeedBooster" technology.
This technology is supposed to make the connection 35% faster or something
like that.

I would like to learn how this is done, is the speed really faster or is it
the same except that they use some kind of proprietary compression
algorithm?

Could some one explain to me how these "speed boost" is accomplished, any
links to web sits with info are highly appreciated.

Thank you

One of the tricks they use is increasing the bandwith.
Normally a channel uses 22 Mhz (overlapping ca. 3 to 4 of the other
available channels) in the 2,5 Ghz band.
In case of 54 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s they usually use all of the available 13
channels or so.
