I just dumped $180 in a new router/adapter combo, and boy what a freakin joke.
You must be one of those "high roller"-types. The last router I bought set me back ~$20 and, yes, it works fine.

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

You should (unless you have the very new Linksys dual band on a single radio model) have two distinct wireless connections - one on 5 Ghz, and one on 2.4 Ghz.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22683309 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:42:55 EDT Re: Linksys WirelessN RangePlus Dual Band can eat me! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22639304 CocoaVanilla : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22639304 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:58:13 EDT Re: Linksys WirelessN RangePlus Dual Band can eat me! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626514 thedragonmas : nice! my tx power is at 42mW no doubt if i upped it i could go farther. routers in the master bedroom, goin threw two walls of plaster with steel and full brick exterior (duplex. thus the steel) i could infact probably go even farther if i put it in the attic. but this is georgia that attic gets mighty hot :|

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.

interfearance anyone? drowing out the new router perhaps? how about moving the new router, say, 5 feet from the current one, and try again. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621712 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:58:41 EDT Linksys WirelessN RangePlus Dual Band can eat me! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621478 Millenniumle : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621478 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:37:52 EDT
