Is it just me or wireless companies are looking to find a way to make you buy a new router. First of all wireless sucks I have not seen one access point that I can beat even 10mb wired connections. Yes n is better than previous but it is still slow. Another problem is that everyone buys them so we have to many of these things fighting in the air. I can count about 10 access points that I can pck up from my house, and I live in a residental area. A friend lives by a college and there are to many to count. I think I'm just going to finish putting fiber around my house and forget about trying to speed my wireless.
@JCerna LOL. I just use G, as I get about 5mbit/s at home, which is fast enough, and use fast ethernet when I really need bandwidth.
Funny enough though, my college dorm's network is 10mbit, so my router doesn't limit the speed. Where we have wifi, it is usually 22mbit/s, as its on a 100mb uplink.
5GHZ clears up a lot of the spectrum congestion, but it also has even worse wall and building penetration than 2.4GHZ.
The device is aimed at gamers and TV watchers, generating a 3D image with use of a pair of 0.7-inch OLED panels, which each display separate images, doing away with the ghost imagery that often comes along with 3D displays.
