What Wi-Fi protocols does Telstra Air use?

Wystri Warrick on 16/10/2016 - 15:03

I've googled, talked to Telstra support to to avail.
Does Telstra Air support the Wi-Fi G protocol?

Thanks in advance.

    Does your device only support 802.11g?

      I have a N card on "loan", so I was going to pick up a awus036h on the cheap

      Edit: thanks for the reply

    Only way you could tell is to try and connect using a 802.11g device.

      I'd test for OP as I have an old adapter in the closet but there are no Telstra Air aps near me.

        I've got a USB adapter but unless I brought a laptop to the hotspot I don't think I would be able to test?

        Edit : @shawncro 222 confirmed it does work

    radio waves
    pretty normal frequency within the 2.4ghz spectrum

      You can set an AP not to allow 802.11b/802.11g clients because they can (probably will) degrade the network.
      Most current APs also use the 5ghz band and can do channel steering.
      802.11ad can use 60ghz.. but that won't be in Telstra Air.

      Have you tried a b or g client?

        yes, both my old samsung / old laptop worked okay
        some devices don't like WPA / WPA2 vs TKIP

        this can be the issue sometimes
