The new $149 Trango CPE (M5580M-FSU) uses same Prism chipset as the Linksys WET54 did in 2004.

I sincerely expected next generation Atheros AR5007 or at least a Realtek RTL8181 chip inside.

They are using 802.11b 11Mbps CCK mode with 5.8Ghz conversion done using a relatively crude on-board circuit.
