I'd be interested to see actual performance numbers. | |

This is the 3rd vendor that has come out with 802.11n draft compliant products. Looks like the "n" bandwagon is underway. I look forward to reading actual experiences from BBR members in the wireless networking forum: » Wireless Networking Some of the performance I've seen in the various magazines puts the N stuff right at 100Mbps of actual throughput.
I'm curious to see if that holds out as retail samples hit the shelves and people start actually using it in places other than "simulated test environments".

According Linksys specs for the notebook cards, speed isn't any better than a G card: Speed Up to 54 Mbps I believe, after looking at the specs, that that is the speed for 802.11g compatibility mode. For 802.11n mode the specs don't give a speed. They just list it as wireless-N.
Transmitted Power
802.11g: 12±1dBm (Typical)
Wireless-N: 10±1dBm (Typical)
Receive Sensitivity
54Mbps @ -70dBm (Typical)
Wireless-N @ -70dBm (Typical) --

| Re: looks like CRAP to me and no Gigabit! NO Gigabit ports? when ALL new computers default to it and have for the last 6 months.
they can keep it! also a lot of us need 8 ports and don't want 3 boxes when one can do it.
they can eassily double stack those ports and give us 8.
guess I wait for the older brother of the 4300 or the asus model later this year with Gigabit ports and Linux inside. | |

| Looks nice, That's about it. 4x range and 12x speed? Let's see an independent company make that claim. Coming from Linksys that doesn't mean much. They used to base every speed claim on the slowest 802.11B router..

Price should come down later too... save my cash for something useful now(like more memory!).

| Re: Meh Show me it has a fast processor, has a lot of memory, runs on Linux, and is open so we can mess with it, and I'll consider it. Otherwise, no dice.
Also, will there be any performance/range increases for those who have G cards in their systems already? I am not about to go out and buy an N card. My laptop has a G card built-in.

| I have aused pre-n stuff If you get a pre-n router then your g card will connect to it always at full speed.
N specs allow g and b to work together at their full speeds.
My gf uses a pre-n card(netgear) with a normal linksys router (802.11g) and she gets full 54mbps anywhere in her house .
I will be buying one of those 802.11n routers because I have used a card based on n specs and it is better in range and speed | |

| MiMo with External Antenna? What happens if you want to use MiMo with an external antenna? Has anybody gone down that road? I'm thinking more of the build the weather proof box and mount the thing on a small radio tower type gig. since MiMo gives such a "boost" in distance how could one implement it in a large scale manner? Anybody seen this yet? | |

| marketing specifications mean nothing! Didn't that feature they called afterburner or speedboost or whatever Linksys called it claim up to 2x speed but achieved almost NO improvement even if the box was only 2 feet away.
Yea.....I'm sure it does 12x throughput and 4x range.....NOT! Pre-N stuff has improved range and speed but not even close to these specs. I don't expect this to be any different since the Pre-N stuff is not all that different. | |

@shawcable.net | Re: marketing specifications mean nothing! Oops, I meant that the current MIMO stuff is similar to Pre-N so don't expect much improvement from that equipment. | |

| No Linksys Router for me I have the memory of a elephant. I will not buy another router from Linksys since they CHEATED me on the last one I bought. (the WRT54G dumbed down V5) If I was to buy from Linksys again, I'm sure there would be some sort of cheating, lying or sneakiness in the deal with them. Too many other vendors to try. | |
