I gather it runs at the less crowded 5GHz frequency and also makes allowances for multiple networks. Not having got any N equipment yet (apart from my BT Home Hub 2 but no compatible Wireless N adaptors) I'm not sure how well it runs. I guess partly it could depend on what is connected to it. Reading the spec on my BT Home Hub 2, the switch in it was only 100Mbit, so in theory anything going over that is limited to about 100Mbit."The maximum theoretical speed of 802.11n is 300 Mbps." What are people finding in the real world (in this case a rural/suburbanhome situation with 4 other users in sight)?"It also has a greater effective distance." Again what sort of difference does this make? I.E. is it really worth the effort of upgrading the laptops - the bridge I really should replace given that it has partly malfunctioned anyway... I suppose...
Maybe if you have a lot of wifi networks in your area it might make a difference. I must have about 20 wireless networks in my area.
