[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 27470, member: 34"] Re: Presonus Digital Mixer Questions 2.4GHz vs 5GHz has nothing to do with bandwidth*, I wonder why they would recommend that? I'd assume that any wireless N setup (on 2.4GHz) would be fine, since it's faster than a 100M wired connection. In fact, 5GHz wireless A is still 54Mbps but has less range than wireless G. Not sure how wireless N/5GHz stacks up, but logically the higher than frequency, the shorter the range. I'd consider using an open network, but with MAC address filtering (access control) enabled such that only your computers can connect to it. I recommend this because encryption requires significant CPU overhead on both ends to encrypt/decrypt. I know when I tether my phone, it can barely handle encrypting the connection, but with the network open (and MAC filtering on) it works great. *I have to insert a little footnote here, irrespective of protocol, higher frequency does allow higher data rates. But with the wireless standards implemented these days, the 5GHz band is intended to avoid interference, not provide higher data rates. [/QUOTE]
