Wireless-N 300 USB Adapter WNA3100 User Manual Figure 3-1 In planning your network, think about which tasks will have the heaviest traffic flow between them. Examples are: • A media center in one room streaming high-definition video from a server in another room • A storage device that is used for backing up your computers Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networking Technologies Common connection types and their speed and security considerations are: • Broadband Internet Your Internet connection speed is determined by your modem type, such as ADSL or cable modem, the connection speed of the sites to which you connect, and general Internet traffic. ADSL and cable modem connections are asymmetrical, meaning they have a lower data rate to the Internet (upstream) than from the Internet (downstream). Keep in mind that when you connect to another site that also has an asymmetrical connection, the data rate between your sites is limited by each side's upstream data rate. A typical residential ADSL or cable modem connection provides a downstream data rate of about 1 to 3 megabits per second (Mbps). Newer technologies such as ADSL2+ and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) l increase the connection speed to tens of Mbps. 3-3 v1.0, December 2009
