mag 254 & mag 254w1/w2 - What are the w models ?

[crazed 9.6]

Just wanna post this for those that want to know what the difference is with the 254 and the 254w models.
The 254w models came out about one year ago, along with the 256w model.

The 'w' refers to WiFi

And, please refer to pyscho1's post found just below, for more info on the w1 and the w2 models.
thnx psycho1

The mag255 model is a different beast all together, then the 250 and 254 and 256 models, as shown below...
MAG255 is a closed platform that does not allow image modification. It has integrated Verimatrix content security solution and is meant for operators that already use Verimatrix.

Just to add, if you do go for a 'W' MAG model and your router has 5ghz ac wifi, then try to go for the 'W2' model as this supports 802.11ac on the 5ghz band with speeds of of up 600mbs compared with 150mbps speeds on the W1 version (only has a 2.4ghz 802.11n wifi card).

I recently purchased a MAG 256W2 and have no issues at all streaming iptv channels through wifi when connected to my Netgear R9000 beast ;)
