Hi
I am rather new to this site.
I have as everyone else wireless in my home. I am trying to understand how it really works.
I have a few questions. but if someone could direct me to a site explaining in depth how wireless works.
First off
What is the different between the number of antennas one router can have. I have a linksys EA65000 dual band router in my home. This one however have no visible antennas.
Is it better to have many antennas?
Does many antennas removed the speed penalty of using the AP as a repeater instead?
My setup at my home uses a Linksys EA6500 and main wireless AP. this router is connected again with cable to my cable modem.
My media center, xbox360 is an "island" in my living room and as such uses a bridge (Linksys WES610N) to connect to my linksys EA6500. This works and i can without any problems stream 20GB+ movies over this interface. My TV have its own wireless connection since for some reason the LAN interface does not work.
I guess in this setup you can call it a many-to-one connection. However i thought when i bought this system that i could dedicate one radio if you will to the bridge and one to act like a AP. right now the bridge is shared between all my 802.11n devices.
Hope i've made my self clear and some will be able to answer some of my question or guide me to where i can find the answer.
