IT Engineer Life on Linksys 4400N Access Point
Ops, another 2 parcel receive at my table, according to sales department, one is linksys 4400N access point, and another is linksys switch, which need to configure and install at client house.
The switch is a manageable switch, but I’m not require to configure it, the customer just plug and play, which is home use only (Customer are rich to buy expensive switch for home use)
For this Linksys 4400N Access point, due to the customer house are very big, the wifi signal coverage require very huge, that why they require to use 802.11n Access Point.
For this N protocol, it is same as for previous version 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g, but it add another new function which is Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO), and the coverage are double wider.

Hi, I have a question and I hope you can solve my problem.
I am having a weak signal in my room from my router wireless G. If I buy a new router such like Linksys WAG120N Wireless-N which only costs RM200.
Is that the coverage will improve? Or I just need to buy an antenna for my wireless router G?
