It looks MUCH nicer than the old blue/yellow/grey thing.
I'd be interested to see actual performance numbers. |

Linksys changed the design from looking like tinker-toys to a Transformer.

| Looks nice,
That's about it. 4x range and 12x speed? Let's see an independent company make that claim. Coming from Linksys that doesn't mean much. They used to base every speed claim on the slowest 802.11B router..

| Meh
I'll wait. Seeing as I rarely transfer insane files between laptops, and Comcast will likely never surpass my D-Link's speeds... no rush to get something like this.
Price should come down later too... save my cash for something useful now(like more memory!).

I'm curious to see if that holds out as retail samples hit the shelves and people start actually using it in places other than "simulated test environments".

I have tried to see things from your point of view, but no matter how hard I try, or what I do, I just can't get my head that far up my ass. |

Re: Meh
Show me it has a fast processor, has a lot of memory, runs on Linux, and is open so we can mess with it, and I'll consider it. Otherwise, no dice.
Also, will there be any performance/range increases for those who have G cards in their systems already? I am not about to go out and buy an N card. My laptop has a G card built-in.

Agreed. I will not buy 1st generation overpriced hardware. Also with my WRT56GS and it's huge antennae I should be just fine for a while. |

| I have aused pre-n stuff
If you get a pre-n router then your g card will connect to it always at full speed.
N specs allow g and b to work together at their full speeds.
My gf uses a pre-n card(netgear) with a normal linksys router (802.11g) and she gets full 54mbps anywhere in her house .
I will be buying one of those 802.11n routers because I have used a card based on n specs and it is better in range and speed |

Robbie the robot or a modern take on the TV-Top UHF antenna?
Rotor it...
12x faster...that would still be faster than the broadband connecction...
