Infact either 036NHA model is quite hard to get hold of anywhere around this place most of the time, it's always out of stock Crucialwifi as well. And has 'New Release' stamped on the end of the box with a yellow trim around the edges of the box. My 2012 model comes in a white (not black) box (I think this is how you differentiate the two).

So although your internet service is 4Mbps, if your going to be streaming video, it still makes sense to still upgrade to an 11N adapter for reasons above. It would be the equivalent removing the Heatsink or Fans from your PC. If you use them in a Streaming Media system, those products will self destruct or have their lifespan diminished. Some products were designed for Data only use and have no method of heatsinking. Most WiFi amplifiers, or for that matter many Radios, cannot pass Streaming Media content for extended periods of time without overheating. Microwave devices are very sensitive to the heat generated from operating at high duty cycles. They are turned on for extended periods of time without the chance to cool off. WiFi components used in a Streaming Video or Audio system work harder than ones carrying Data only.

As for an improvement of any range from 11N compared to 11G, I'm not completely convinced there is any.ДЄn 11G adapter such as the 036H isn't designed for media streaming because it runs hot, and is now very old. The answer is 11N is better and designed for streaming media.

You would then again say considering my service, what is the point therefore of upgrading to 11N over 11G which seems sufficient. Whilst your provision now at present is a 4mb unlimited service, it on the other hand leaves no room in the future for further upgrades or expansion to your service, since 11b only is capable of half of it's rated figures in throughput at best. My review of the NHR v2 still stands however.Д¬lick to expand.No, because whilst 802.11b will possibly slightly extend your range coverage over 11g, the practical throughput figures from using 802.11.b alone is less or equal to half than it's theoretical indicated connection figures of 11Mbps. So it's quite obvious that not all 5dbi antenna's shipped in ALFA's boxes are created equal. It's fine on inspection and even it reports ok, even appears to work mostly, except it doesn't. That your other adapters can handle but your NHR can't with it's 5dbi, then try a different Omni, because mine as shipped was broken although So I guess it's still buyer beware on the NHR V2, and if your having problems connecting or trying to hit anything at a decent range, The fact of the matter was that it simply did not work and wouldn't connect to this AP, whereas all the 5dbi's on all the other adapters could cope with this distant AP no problem. The available network scan didn't reveal anything wrong or even being in possession of a screwed up antenna. Put the original 5dbi as shipped with the NHR v2 back again.still doesn't work. So then I thought I would try something out.and as soon as I swapped out the 5dbi antenna off of the 036NH and stuck it on the brand new NHR, voila ! I could connect with the NHR no problem 5dbi to this distant AP with a decent link quality. So I thought it was the drivers, but no it happens with all of them tried, from ALFA & the discs. I use the 7dbi panels mostly, so it took some time for me to pick up on this and figure out what was going on. The link quality was very poor, and I was getting lots of disconnects, to even not being able to connect at all. I can't explain what's happening with it or why, except to say that all the other adapters I have 036NHA, 036H, 036NHД¬an connect to this certain AP at distance using all their respective bog standard 5dbi that comes in the box reliably,Д«ut the NHR v2 as shipped unopened as brand new with it's respective 5dbi could not. Actually from testing, I've just discovered there is something seriously messed up with my 036nhr v2's 5dbi antenna as shippedДЄs new in the box from an official ALFA dealer from new only a couple of weeks ago.
