Here's how to prepare for 5Gbps, 10Gbps broadband
Tips on how you can gear up for ultra-fast broadband at home.
Signing up for one of the new 10Gbps or 5Gbps broadband? Here's how you can gear up for it.
In my last part of a 3-part Singapore broadband story I wrote for HardwareZone, I explain how you can gear up to experience its full benefits.
Why bother? Simple: The average home user will only experience limited improvements if they don't first update their current setup.
Here's what I covered:
- Upgrading your system
Support for 10Gbps Internet is not common today and will probably require you to purchase a 10Gbps expansion card. It's also taxing on the PC too, so you'll probably want a newer device.
- Let's talk about Wi-Fi
We love our Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, no Wi-Fi system created yet can give you 10Gbps speed to a single device, despite what extremely creative marketing materials might tell you. I discuss about what's actually possible.
- Overhauling your network
Want to share more of your insanely fast (and pricey) 10Gbps broadband with the rest of the family? Here's what you need to do. Yes, more upgrading.
- Additional context
Some bonus materials such as the idiosyncrasies of the Internet and how to get maximum performance from your wireless network.
Curious? Here are a couple of posts I wrote recently about fast broadband.
