| Linksys WirelessN RangePlus Dual Band can eat me! I just dumped $180 in a new router/adapter combo, and boy what a freakin joke. I put the router right next to the still running Road Runner modem/wireless router and would you believe I can pick up RR's router but not the Linksys Mr. Range Plus, 10x better router.
And it is working (well on anyway), cause I connected up fine when I was right next to it for configuration.
Boy that really burns my ass. | |

| Re: Linksys WirelessN RangePlus Dual Band can eat me! You take me too literally.  They are a few feet apart on the same bench.
I'm in a different building, about four or five hundred feet from the routers so I don't get very goog reception, obviously. But my Buffalo "high power" Air Station just barely manages it, if the weather is good and the stars are aligned right.
The new N adaptor couldn't see the N router, but could see the RR "G" router although it couldn't connect. My Buffalo adaptor can connect to the RR router but can't even see the N router.
So, much to my dismay and the loss of my money, both the N router and the N adaptor bite by comparison.
Max coverage, my ass! | |

Tucson, AZ | I just purchased one of these and so far, so good. Have you tried calling Linksys and asking for a replacement? My guess is you got a defective unit. | |

I guess I'm confused as to how/why a router can run $180. Is the extra cost largely associated with the "adapter" part?
