To anybody who is smart with computer stuff and can translate.
Please make sense of this stuff and translate it into real english (dumb people english).
Connection speeds are quoted only in reference to IEEE standards. The speeds quoted are the maximum attainable under ideal environmental conditions and at close distances. In addition, the standards specify usable payload data rates that are less than half the connection speed. Your usable connection speed will be significantly lower than the IEEE standards quoted.
When selecting your wireless network standard, keep the following guidelines in mind:
The 802.11a standard offers the same speed as 802.11g. A 5-GHz band (802.11a) is also less susceptible to interference from common devices, such as 2.4-GHz cordless telephones, cell phones, and microwave ovens. Further, in areas where neighboring wireless networks can be detected, interference can be a problem. Because of the limited number of channels and the popularity of 2.4-GHz networks, a 5-GHz network is likely to experience less interference from a neighboring wireless network than a 2.4-GHz network and provide a better overall wireless connection. Although a 5-GHz network offers many channels, 802.11a networks are not widely supported by other devices that you may also want to add to your network, such as laptop computers.
An 802.11g wireless network is compatible with both 802.11g and 802.11b devices. However, any 802.11b devices operating on your 802.11g network will slow it down. If you have a dual-band router (with both 802.11a and 802.11g bands), try using your Xbox 360 console and wireless network adapter on the 802.11a band and your other devices on the 802.11g and 802.11b bands. The Xbox 360 console in this configuration will have the maximum bandwidth while remaining networked with other devices on 802.11g or 802.11b.
If you use wireless controllers, you may get better performance using 802.11a (5-GHz band) for your network connection, since the wireless controllers operate on the 2.4-GHz band.
