Re: an educated consumer..

It was for me with various routers (WRT54G, Motorola 54G, UFO Airport Extreme). With both Airport Extreme N or D-Link DIR-655 I get nearly 100Mb at distances of about 75'. With 40MHz channels I get up to 2X that depending on the file time and what device I'm copying from. Of course I never get anywhere near the advertised 270Mb but I get 3-5X the speeds I ever saw from 11g.

802.11n would be overkill if it were really expensive (like 802.11a is/was), but with routers getting cheaper, and a lot of newer notebooks including it, I personally think it's worth it. Even when I bring my notebook back to my desk, I don't bother to plug into my network to do TM backups or transfer large files.

Is that from an actual network benchmark or are you just pulling this from what Windows or your router is telling you?

That has to be just what windows is claiming.
