Talk about the performance and chip of wireless router in the market

Now there is no line from the product brand and the price of various, how to be in the confusion of the flowers are not blind, in fact, as long as you see the hardware chip behind each product, you can have a general selection basis, information from the network, but summed up together to facilitate their own or users have the time to reference.

Wireless Protocol IE802.11 Family:

Protocol	release year/date	Op. Standard band width	actual speed (standard)	actual speed (max.)	Range (indoor)	Range (Outdoor)
Legacy	1997	2.4-2.5 GHz	1 Mbit/s	2 Mbit/s	?	?
802.11a	1999	5.15-5.35/5.47-5.725/5.725-5.875 GHz	-Mbit/s	-Mbit/s	Approx. 30 m	Approx. 45 m [3]
802.11b	1999	2.4-2.5 GHz	6.5 Mbit/s	Mbit/s	Approx. 30 m	Approx. 100 m
802.11g	2003	2.4-2.5 GHz	-Mbit/s	-Mbit/s	Approx. 30 m	Approx. 100 m
802.11n	2009	2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands	-Mbit/s (20mhz*4 MIMO)	-Mbit/s (40mhz*4 MIMO)	Approx. 70 m	Approx. 250 m
802.11p	2009	5.86-5.925 GHz	3 Mbit/s	Mbit/s	Approx. 300 m	Approx. 1000 m
802.11ac	2011.11	5 GHz	433MBIT/S, 867mbit/s (80MHz), (160MHz optional)	867MBIT/S, 1.73 gbit/s, 3.47 gbit/s, 6.93 gbit/s (8 MIMO, 160MHz)	Approx. 35 m [4]

The trend of development in the future is believed to be 11n 5G Band, because the previous logo is used 2.4G, this frequency band interference source is very much, for example, including a variety of wireless devices, Bluetooth and different wireless signal between the conflict and so on. However, at present, the 5G equipment is still in its infancy, the general signal attenuation after the wall is serious, and the supporting equipment is very few.

No line by the main chip manufacturers:
Now no line by the solution mainly by the two major manufacturers control--broadcom (Bo Tong) and Atheros (currently has been Qualcomm Qualcomm acquisition)
Here are links to two product listings:
Atheros Http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Atheros
Atheros was acquired after the design of the chip Http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Qualcomm_Atheros
Broadcom http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom
There is also a small share of the marvell,ubicom (Realtek), Ralink (Ralink) and relatively expensive (or not Broadcom expensive, Bo Tong Solutions, especially high-end solutions are purely for the type of pit-daddy price, only with the main chip solution, Without wireless chip solutions, D-Link's high-end products with the largest number of scenarios occupy.
(The early master chip solution also has Intel's StrongARM, such as the famous IXP4XX series)

preferred chip for each routing manufacturer :
Linksys (Casio): Intel (early), Broadcom
Asus:broadcom
Netgear:broadcom,marvell (mid-high-end), Atheros (mid-low), Realtek (Low end)
Buffalo:broacom (early), Atheros (Currently, high-end), Ralink (Currently, low end)
Apple:marvell+atheros (the former provides the main chip, the latter provides wireless)
Belkin:broadcom (mid-high-end), Ralink (mid-low)
D-link:ubicon+atheros (medium-high-end: The former provides the main chip, the latter provides wireless), Atheros (mid-low), Ralink (mid-low), Marvell (mid-end), Realtek (Low end)
Moto:broadcom,ralink
Tplink&mercury&fast (PU, Mercury, swiftness is basically a company, the same configuration, TP death expensive): Atheros, MTK (yes you read the wrong!!!)

In fact, the research inside the configuration and chip, because in fact, the router can also brush their own open source firmware, the implementation of soft routing functions, the specific stability of the firmware plus hardware to look at. Believe that a lot of people have heard Hak5 WiFi Pineapple Bar, who said can not buy the right without the line from then DIY one, hey.

Need to query the various models of routing chips and hardware information can go to this wiki:
