Any wireless solution, regardless of whom manufacturers the box, regardless of any claim, is not and never will be impervious to any other wireless traffic on the same channel (or even adjacent channels when you consider overlap).
Simple physics; radio wave transmitted at frequency f will interfere with another station also transmitting (or receiving) on frequency f.
Most of the time we dont notice; wifi boxes slow down the tx rate, change channel, or retransmit packets. We might notice a drop in transfer speeds when sending files. For voip though it can cause distortion, for video it can cause audio/video errors, freezes, and so on.
Neither will you ever see the claimed "throughput"; its the maximum theoretical combined upstream and downstream (ie full duplex) capacity of the standard, plus any manufacturers "added secret sauce" (read non-standard tweaking). Wifi is not full duplex - you cannot transmit and receive on all antennas simultaneously.
At OP, just how much is a pure wifi solution worth? |
