| Re: Overkill and overpriced I'd be fine with 100 Mbps. 802.11n can't even deliver 100 Mbps reliably, everything would have to be hardwired gigabit to take advantage of those speeds. At that point, where WAN speeds approach realistic LAN speeds, Verizon can stop upgrading...for now... | |

But I do get whatever PowerBoost gives me with 11n... Really? Do you have it connected to an Airport Extreme? I know the Airport Extreme can do 802.11n on the 5GHz band so I would imagine your Air can do that too. You may want to look into it because the Airport Extreme was one of the 802.11n routers that had the HIGHEST throughput once free of all the 2.4GHz chatter. | |

kudos:2 | Re: Overkill and overpriced The Airport Extreme is a $180 router. The Linksys WRT310N is a little less than half that price. The Linksys also supports DD-WRT and VPN... | |

I have a $99 Trendnet TEW-633GR and I can get 300Mbps out of it, so I'm sure your Linksys can achieve something close to that. If not, you may have a bad unit? | |
