Title: Wireless routers
Post by: iMav on Sat, 31 May 2008, 07:27:50

I typically have a couple of linksys routers (of the WRT54* variety) and a few home grown ones as well...however, I have nothing that does 802.11n.  Anyone gone "n" yet?  And, if so, what do you have and how has it been working for you?

Ok.  Here is what I picked up today:

Thermaltake "Blac X" storage docking station
Linksys WRT600n wireless router (dual radios, 4 GigE interfaces, USB for external storage, etc)
MyBook 1TB external disk (USB, now connected to the WRT600n)

Pictures are always nice. That is some nice hardware. That router with with the 4 Gig interfaces in particular.

my last linksys router (WRV54g) blew chunks. I subsequently hate linksys now :)

I picked up a Dlink DIR-655 and my download speeds on dslreports.com went from 300KB/s to 500KB/s no BS.

I dont use n but the g is faster and connects way faster and that's even w/ the wireless range on the router set to low
