Re: N signal problems (WRT310N)
802.11b radios typically have around 100mW of transmit power, excluding PDAs and some cheap PCMCIA.
802.11g radios typically have around 30-40mW (in 11g OFDM modes) and can get to 100mW in the slowest non-OFDM mode.
The difference between 30mW and 100mW is similar to the advantage that 11g's OFDM has over 11b's DSSS. So range should be a push, (same) despite the weaker signal.
This happened because it costs too much to run 100mW with 11g OFDM so they stayed with the same tx power amp for 11g as in 11b.
But the advantage of 11g is that the bits/Hz/Sec is higher than 11b. (more spectral efficiency)
11n without channel-pairing is the same as 11g except the seller gets more money from you.
