>>>> Problem, I wanted to watch HBOGO on my hubby's ASUS netbook in the cabana. I was using the HBOGO website. No good. Very choppy. Went into the master bedroom, worked just fine. I gave up and used my iPad mini in the cabana with the HBOGO app and it worked perfect except the screen was a bit small. I had the iPad mini on a table so hubby and I could both watch. Why did the iPad work much better?
>>>
>>> Because iPads are better built with better hardware specs than most netbooks.
>>>
>>> Netbooks were built to be cheap, easy-to-carry access points for surfing the web, sort of like portable encyclopedias. Turn it on, read your e-mails, get the weather, research something, turn it off.
>>>
>>> They were not built to be media-streaming-at-poolside devices.
>>
>> Is the Asus' Wifi 802.11b, or g, or n ?
>
> The one I have is g.

802.11n, when compared to g, has a wider bandwidth and a longer range, if your Wifi source (e.g., Airport base station) is able to send 802.11n.
