Re: WNHDEB111 Review and Impression
I am disappointed that the Ethernet interface is 10/100 and not Gigabit.
Why offering a 802.11n (300Mpbs) air interface that will:
1) be downgraded to 100 Mbps on the Ethernet side
2) downgrade most of the Gigabit router to fast Ethernet
Mr Netgear, are you planning to release a Gigabit version of your product?

| My setup us would be as follows
a) At one end of the house I would have a cable modem and several PC's connected to a wired Netgear router. To this I would add the first WNHDE111 access point.
b) At the other end of the house I would have the other WNHDE111 unit (acting as a bridge), and a PC hardwired to it.
So do I understand that while any N-enabled wireless device would operate at up to 300Mbps, the bridged PC would be restricted to 100Mbps?? Yup, would have bee nice to eliminate the bottleneck with a Gigabit version of this device. That said, the bridged PC would be no more limited that any other wired PC's (resticted by the nono-gigbit router). So gigabit is nioe, but can still be limited by non-gigabit router, switches and perhaps even cat 5 cabling.
Still, point taken - 5 Ghz, 802.11N and Gigabit ports would indeed be the triple threat. |

AMEN! I was interested in using it as an Access point. But why only 10/100? Makes very little since on an N product. |
