ADSL - Uses typical twisted pair cable that come home. Maximum down stream (download) up to 8 Mbps. Divide the voice and data signals on the telephone line into three frequency bands.

Wi-Max- Can go for over a much greater range. Point-to-multi point: last-mile internet access. People can go up to 52 Mbps down stream (download) . Good solution for the people who can't get ADSL connection due to long distance.

You see Faster connection is WI-MAX. But all the performances are depend on the packagers in the market.

Does a faster adsl router give faster download speed?

In most cases, ADSL speed is capped (fixed) by the ISP (Internet Service Provider). So the would be no, it does NOT give faster download speed! However, a faster ADSL router CAN improve speed on a local network (i.e. from laptop to desktop, transfers).


How WiMAX works?

WiMAX operates much the same as Wi-Fi only faster and over a greater area. WiMAX towers are located outside and connected directly to a high bandwidth Internet connection.


Is Ethernet faster then ADSL?

Even a slow Ethernet network would be faster than ADSL, since 10baseT LAN networks run at 10 Mbps. An ADSL connection typically tops out at around 8 Mbps. However, if you are talking about throughput, then they might be very close, since Ethernet has problems with packet collision. Then again, most Ethernet networks today for LANs run at 100 Mbps, which would place it far faster than ADSL based on speed measurements. However, ADSL does not use the same transmission method as Ethernet, but Ethernet will still be faster than ADSL (especially if you consider the Gigabit speeds).


How do you connect to an ISP using ADSL?

I believe your Internet Service Provider must sell you this option. Once you pay for it your router should be working at the speed of ADSL. I am currently using ADSL, but will be going to a faster speed.
