Dot11radio0 and Dot11radio1 - which one and why?

As some may know by know (lol) i am setting up my 1841 for home access. I obtained a 802.11 abg module and started studying and experimenting.
What i have not yet clarified is if Dot11radio 0 and 1 -  2.4 and 5 ghz both support 54mbp transfer rates, and if the 2.4 is the most compatible and common at the time, why would someone also setup the 5ghz one? Are there any clear advantages?
I have currently both running. My small mobile devices connet to the 2.4 one and My laptop to the 5ghz but if both been activated has any downsides
i could probably move to a different setup.
Open to recommendations - suggestions!

Hello,
The 2.4 GHz spectrum has only 3 available non-overlapping channels (1, 6, 11), so if you are in an area with other wireless networks in range you could see some interference. There is also potential interference from Microwaves, Bluetooth, etc.
The 5.0 GHz spectrum has many more channels available, and the chances of interference issues are much much lower.
The range is typically better on 2.4 GHz and it is more compatible with devices, but 5.0 GHz will usually have better performance. Also, with both radios turned on, you can split your clients onto both radios, so they aren't contending with eachother as much, since wireless is after all a shared medium.
No real downside to having both Radios turned on that I can think of, aside from a minimal power draw increase (not sure on the specifics)...

  • Pentax K10D: Camera profiles, "ACR 4.x" vs "Pentax 1.00". Which one is broken?

    Hardware: Pentax K10D, use DNG raw format.
    Software: Pgotoshop CS3, ACR 4.5, Windows.
    ACR allows me to select one of four profiles:
    (1) ACR 4.4
    (2) ACR 3.7
    (3) Embedded
    (4) Pentax 1.00
    And results of this selection is dramatic. And strange, too.
    I have one shot with XRtie ColorChecker.
    I select "ACR 4.4" (default) profile and set white balance by second gray patch in raw (18% gray) with White Balance Tool. Color temperature is 8000 and tint is -20. Ok.
    I select "ACR 3.7" profile, repeat WBT, and get same results. Ok.
    I select "Pentax 1.00" profile, and get.... Temperature 11500K and Tint +75!
    I know, that profiles change color rendering. It is ok.
    But why these two (ACR 4.4 and 3.7 is almost the same) profiles change color rendering SO DIFFERENTLY? Color temperature is universal number, daylight is about 5500K, good flash is always 5500K, D65 light source is 6500K (6504K), etc.
    I thought, that good profile should give good neutrals, and in case of controlled light, calculated (by gray patch) color temperature should correspond to light source.
    I understand, that different profiles could render skin tones, cyans, shadows and highlights slightly differently, and there are many discussions, which profile is better. But 3500K difference is not "slight difference" and is not question like "I like skin tones with this profile more that ones with another"! Am I right?
    It seems, that one of profiles is broken. Which one? Why difference is so huge?

    Essentially embedded was broken, not in the colors, but in the white balance mappings. There was an issue with the white balance values in the profiles originally embedded in the Pentax DNG files. As long as you do a click-WB __AFTER__ choosing your profile, the actual colors should be fine (but won't and aren't expected to match the ACR 4.4/3.7 rendering exactly).

  • I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

    Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
    Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
    You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
    Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
    Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
    If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
    You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
    Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
    good luck

  • Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

    Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

    The majority of the time using the 64 bit version is better, since you have more resources available (ram)
    If you need to run some older third party plugins that were only ever offered as 32 bit plugins, then the 32 bit version is the choice.
    Or if you happen to use a scanner with twain, then the 32 bit version.

  • MIDI CONTROLLERS WHICH ONE WOULD YOU CHOSE AND WHY?

    Between M-Audio 8v2 , M-Audio 02 , M-AUDIO 49E and M-Audio axiom 25. Which one of these would you choose and why?

    The Axiom 25.
    For the rotary encoders, pads and memory.
    I'd take this over the 49 because both of the keyboards will be pitiful and your better of getting a full size board with hammer action if its about the "piano" feel. These things are great to have at hand when fiddling with synths while setting up in logic.

  • Hey, I want to buy a macbook pro or imac mini, I want to know which is better and why, is their going to be new macbooks ect released in 2-3 months thats better that i should rather wait for? Or buy one now ?

    Please help me i dont know which one to buy, and ive never owned one before but i have used my friends quite alot. Why is macbook's worth buying if you can get many products for the same price with better specs ?What makes it unique that it dominates basically the whole world.

    Hey,
    Thank's 4 the advice , but one of my main problems is I live in South Africa and apple products is x2 as much as what the usa doller is for it. Eg Macbook pro starting price $1199 american dollars and directley converted to South African currency is R9160.30.... but the problem is if i want to buy it in my country it has been marked up alot and a Macbook pro starting price for me will be R13000 for 13 inch and if you directley convert our price into american dollers its $1704.30 american dollars, so thats +600 dollers more.
    So its much more expensive to buy products in my country and thats just the starting price.
    I want mobality but i was also thinking (imac mini) is kinda portable and can plug into any1  T.V u know.
    So like i really do t know what to get and that, because its alot more money to spend than the US dollar.
    So i really want you to put your self in my position you know...
    And what is classified as a good monitor???
    And i want to know why my friends say that the imac mini is pathetic , but i think it losts longer than most windows laptops, what do you think ??
    And can i who lives in south africa buy products directley from apple them selves ??
    Thank's man , hope you can help me out here!
    Hope other people can c this 2

  • Which one of these two drives would you recommend and why

    Hello,
    I am planning on adding an external HD to be used with Time Machine.
    I was looking at a WD My Book Studio LX 2 TB FireWire 800, then I saw another WD - 2 TB My Book Studio II.
    While the first look very nice and sleek with its aluminum case, and judging by WD website, offers more features, the second one seem to be faster (7200 rpm vs 5400 rpm) and it also offers 5 years of warranty compared with only 3.
    I am not a computer geek, therefore I am throwing the question here: which one should I buy and why? Do I really need that RAID technology?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Regards,
    Loerincz

    IMHO, you want neither. I've heard enough bad things about WD drives on these forums that I wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole. Try [Other World Computing|http://www.macsales.com>. They've got quality stuff.
    As for RAID, you probably don't need that. RAID is a way to make multiple separate drives act like one larger drive, but that's major overkill for most home backup needs.

  • Why are there 2 'after effects', 14 and regular and which one is the best use? It seems a little crazy to use twice the storeage for the same program?

    I up graded adobe cc last night and the cc app down loaded up-grades to my original cc apps, plus another app of each labeled 14. Why do we need two copies of the same app on our machines, and which one is the best to use. I hope adobe in not going down the same road as apple and screwing up the works. i still remember way back when adobe goofed it so bad I switched to final cut. Now apple has screwed up final cut and I am back to Premiere. I know we have huge drives now, but come on, why two bit eating monsters that do the same thing. Stan / Desert Wind Productions.

    The "2014" versions are new versions of the software. It's like the difference between CS5 and CS6. The new one is (most of the time) significantly better. This isn't any weird screwup, it's just a new version.
    You may want to keep the old version around for compatibility, client needs, safety, etc. However, it probably behooves you to use the current version for all of its new features, etc.

  • Question to everyone: Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?

    _*Questions to everyone:*_

    *Have you found any tricks to make Webkit, Firefox or Google Chrome faster ?*
    Thanks for your participation and helping others enjoying speed like you !

    HI,
    Which browser for Mac is the fastest one and why ?
    Safari. But as with any browser, speed depends on what type of internet connection have, high speed being the fastest.
    Have you found any tricks to make Safari faster ?
    Empty the cache, Reset Safari, delete WebpageIcons.db from ~/Library/Safari
    A lean machine runs faster and better performance. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*
    Have you found any tricks to make Webkit, Firefox or Google Chrome faster ?
    Same for any browser. Empty the cache often, clear the history.
    Information here regarding Safari's web kit. The WebKit Open Source Project
    Cisco is changing going to have an impact on internet speeds. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/191125/newcisco_router_supports_322tbps_designed_for_internetvideo.html

  • Why do I have three versions of illustrator and which one should I use?

    Hello,
    I have CC, CC 64 bit, and CC 2014 on my computer.  Is there a difference?  I originally downloaded both CC and CC 64 bit because I didn't know if it mattered or not which one I use.  Then the 2014 version was in creative cloud, and I figured it was an update, but now I have three versions. 
    I use Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
    Thanks,
    Caleb

    Caleb,
    CC2014 is a new version, which in some ways are closer to the CS versions because some features have been reintroduced.
    If you are happy with CC2014 you may uninstall the others.

  • Canon 7D or 70D, which one and why?

    I am looking into purchasing a new camera body, the 7D or the 70D obviously and I cannot decide which one to get. U have read/watched countless reviews and comparisons but they dont really help me that much. I mostly photograph landscapes, travel photos, and my dog (who is still a puppy and moves around very fast). I currently own a T2i. 
    From what I've read, the 70D is a lot better at videos but I almost never shoot videos so the video quality is not very important to me.
    Body - T2i
    Glass - Ef-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM, 50mm f/1.8 II, 18-55mm kit lens, 55-250mm f/4-5.6 STM

    Thank you, for low-light indoor photographs which camera performs better?
    The cameras have similar performance in low-light.  The 70D has a newer sensor and has an edge over the 7D, but it's not an enormous difference.  In side-by-side comparisons you'd probably see the 7D is slightly nosier ... if you look at the images long enough. 
    Lens selection makes a big difference here.  If you're shooting in low light, use a lower focal ratio lens.  
    Suppose you're taking a photo using the kit zoom lens (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6) and using 50mm.  The lowest possible focal ratio for that lens, when using the 50mm focal length, is going to be f/5.6.  -OR- you could use your 50mm f/1.8 which is able to do f/1.8.  
    Dropping from f/5.6 -> f/4 is one stop.
    f/4 -> f/2.8 is another stop
    f/2.8 -> f/2 is another stops (so that's 3 full stops)
    f/2 -> f/1.8 is 1/3rd stop.
    That's a total of 3 1/3rd stops.  Each "stop" doubles the amount of light the lens can collect when the shutter is open... combine those stops and the f/1.8 lens is collecting nearly 10x more light as compared to the f/5.6 lens.  The problem with f/1.8 is that it also has a very shallow depth of field so depending on how much you need to keep in focus beyond just your focused distance it may not be suitable... perhaps you back off to f/2.8... or perhaps you back off to f/4 for more depth of field ... but f/4 is still twice as much light as f/5.6.

  • Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

    Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
    The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple. 
    The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up.  Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power.  2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.  Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad. 
    Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  THANK YOU

    I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16?
