![]() ![]() Configured them to use different SSID and all using Channel 1 (the least crowded in my neighborhood) and turned them on separately. I also had a standard MediaLink (unmodified) MWN-WAPR150N and from work I borrowed an OpenMesh OM2P-HS and placed them in the same corner. I had an Netgear WNDR3700 that I put DD-WRT on it. Lol for the volume these companies do it's probably no more than 10 - 15 cents a unit. I'm sure they skirt the false advertising because the wireless portion is 300 Mbps capable. My bro just got a cheap HP consumer laptop and it doesn't have a gigabit NIC either. That's true, you do get the better range with N. More than likely they mean 300mbps from the AP to w/e they're connecting to wirelessly and not what the AP is physically connected to. I agree about the gigabit port though, it doesn't make much sense. With speeds put aside you still gain a good bit of range with N over G. ![]() Does that make sense, or am I just babbling? ![]() Otherwise, it make little sense as any wireless device now supports G. So if you actually want N speeds, then the AP needs a gigabit port. If this were the case, then why would we have N-wireless? Generally I agree, but sometimes it's just not practical. I've noticed it too but at the same time I feel like if you need gigabit for anything you should be running a cable and not be depending upon an AP. I've not seen this discussed much so maybe I'm missing something. What's up with that? I get that you can communicate with other devices on THAT AP, but the speed is restricted going to the rest of the network. The problem I see with these (and many other APs) is that the NIC is only 10/100! It supports 802.11n at 300 Mpbs, but can only go across the wire at 100. I use these at home and absolutely love it. Pick up a 3 pack of UniFi's and place them where needed. ![]()
