Let' say you have a 54Mbps wireless router. And let's assume that it is a perfect world and a wireless device is able to connect at the full 54Mbps.
Now I had always thought that if you have multiple devices, they each esatblish a 54Mbps peer to peer network.
But someone said to me that each device was in contention for a total bandwidth of 54Mbps, so if you had 10 devices operating continuously they could only average 5.4Mbps.
I do appreciate that network traffice isn't continous.
But the basic question is whether all devices are contending for a total of 54Mbps or whether they each have a 54Mbps connection.
Many thanks,
Nigel
