Avoiding Wi-Fi surprises
Enterprise firms won't invest in 802.11g
products before the standard is ratified this
summer. But small offices/home offices and
consumers are buying products by the bucket load.
Most vendors say prestandard gear will require only
a firmware upgrade to interoperate with products
built using the final specification. But there's no
way to know for sure until the standard is ratified
and interoperability is tested. Until then, here's
what you need to know to make smart buying
decisions today. Source: NetworkWorldFusion
Description of the Wireless LAN Route Table Metric Behavior
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 315088 - After you install a wireless network adapter in a computer that already has a physical local area network (LAN) connection, the default gateway route for the wireless LAN (if the system is configured to have one) may have a higher metric
than the physical LAN default gateway. For example, the physical
LAN default gateway metric may be 20, but the wireless LAN default
gateway may be 30.
