I am trying to buy a router for my home network and I noticed that companies
like Linksys offer some router with what they call SpeedBooster" technology.
This technology is supposed to make the connection 35% faster or something
like that.

I would like to learn how this is done, is the speed really faster or is it
the same except that they use some kind of proprietary compression
algorithm?

Could some one explain to me how these "speed boost" is accomplished, any
links to web sits with info are highly appreciated.

Thank you.
