Wireless USB cable extender?
So here is the question.
I have a HTPC (home theatre PC) setup using a 802.11G USB wireless adapter. I then have a 802.11G wireless router connected to my DivX/DVD server located in a different part of the house. Now, I am connecting at around 46Mbps but want to connect at the full 54Mbps that 802.11G has to offer.
I know that If I can move my USB wireless adapter closer to the router by just a few feet (well maybe five or so feet) I can achieve this as my laptop is constantly connecting at this speed and is roughly five or so feet closer to my server.
So, If I were to buy a USB cable extender to place the Wireless USB adapter closer to my router, would I actually be loosing bandwith? due to a possible bottle neck in the extender? make sense?
Any feedback is welcomed.
Cheers!
You won’t lose and bandwidth. It’ll work fine, have used USB extender cables to backup drives and speed/data integrity is not an issue.
