Question: Hearing about a new router called NEMO.  Anyone know what it is? We are now using a "G" router in our small office of 4 computers.  A co-worker is hell bent to get a new NEMO router.  Not having any problems with what we have.  Is it worth changing to this "NEMO" ?

Answer: it's actually MIMO - it is a technology that will allow an access point and wireless card to tranfer data faster than the wireless 'g' standard (with which it is backwards compatible)\n\nBoth the access point and wireless card must be MIMO capable to see the benefit, which is speed approaching that of wired (100Mb/s) - theoretically.  There are drawbacks, since it uses the existing 'g' standard...128 bit WEP is transferred much slower (around 20%) because MIMO doesn't support it.\n\nI would wait until next year, when the 'n' wireless standard comes out...better to upgrade to a 'standard' than a 'one-off' - kinda like choosing between dial-up with speed booster technology, or DSL - ya know?
