[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 76492, member: 172"] re: X32 - XControl, Routers and WiFi A couple notes: There are quite a few ISM bands in addition to the 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz bands widely used for wireless networking, and things like R/C vehicles typically use one of the lower bands (27Mhz comes to mind, but that may have changed) You don't usually have a router on a LAN - you're using it as a wireless access point (WAP). Your example IP address scheme doesn't work - If the router is set to 192.168.0.foo with a subnet of 255.255.255.0, it can't communicate with any devices set to 192.168.1.bar (although devices set statically to these addresses will be able to talke to each other, devices with a DHCP assigned address won't be able tot alk to them). 802.11a is 5Ghz, 802.11b is 2.4Ghz, 802.11g is 2.4Ghz, and 802.11n can operate on both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz. So there's no such thing as 5Ghz B/G/N mode (well, it's theoretically possible, but every device I've seen that could do 5Ghz also supported 802.11a). So if you're looking for a device that supports 5Ghz, look for support for 802.11a. [/QUOTE]
