Which is faster 100 Base-T or 802.11N?
I was setting up my new wireless N router when it occurred to me that 300Mbps (expected speed) might be faster than 100 base T. But I was wondering in the real world how it stacks up if I have great signal strength.
Would putting in an N card beat my 100base t Ethernet connection?

10 Base-T runs at 10 Mbit/s.
100 Base-T runs at 100 Mbit/s.
1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) runs at 1000 Mbit/s.
The 802.11n standard can theoretically operate at bandwidths up to 600 Mbit / sec of raw data rate. Practically, applications effectively supporting 100 Mbit / sec when using the TCP/IP protocol are available in the market today. (see here http://www.maxi-pedia.com/802.11n+standard+basics )
To make the story short, when running your WiFi under ideal conditions, you are even with your 100 Base - T but not for very long. :) Just wondering, can you really utilize such massive bandwidth?

Even if N is faster, go with the wired connection - it's more reliable and unless you are transferring very large files across the network you won't notice any difference in speed.

I'd imagine that a wired connection would outstrip a wireless connection anyday.
