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! |

You bought a dual band router - are the router and adapter both communicating on the same band? 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. |
