Wireless N
Got a dell gift card when I bought my laptop so decided to spend some of it on a wireless N router.. got myself a D-Link DIR-665 Xtreme N.. I've always had a grudge against D-Link but this has a ton of reviews and they are nearly all positive. It looks better and was less expensive then the wireless N linksys routers. (The linksys looks like it is capable of receiving signals from outer space)
My laptop connects at full speed . Wireless N seems to work great using my laptops intergrated card (Intel 4965AGN). This router has a ton of features compared to my WRT54G, let’s see if it lasts as long.

Tried a Netgear N router (280 Mbit) and it would be better to go deliver you packets yourself
I'm serious |

hehehe
tbh i'm no fan of wireless, after i spent all the money on the router i took a saw to the bottom of my bedroom door so i could fit a cable under it instead but that was because i was doing a lot of moving of large files, but for a laptop it's fine. the 'N' made a huge difference in the hosue i was in. regular wifi was just too weak to service a medium sized house. |

N is capable of 300mbs but my router only does 130mbs.. which is still faster then my old 100mb wired lan. The only time I transfer large files is when I transfer them to and from my server and that's not to often. I have a 50' network cable that I will use for that .
I'll be switching my desktop to wireless soon also

Ahh!! Just put a wireless card in my desktop and am connecting at 270mps. Guess it can go higher . Downloading a file from my lan is definitely faster then my old wired 100mb lan. My router is about 40 feet from my desktop and I get 'excellent' signal strength.

I'm thinking of getting Linksys WRT600N Linksys Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link (http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WRT600...3203373&sr=8-7)
Anyone has that? I really need to use the 3Meg line |

Good I am still only getting 270mbs. But I am pretty far from the router, if I bring the router close I get 300. I'm fine with 270 though . Still faster then my old lan.
