I just upgraded my router to 300Mbit N.. Erich Likey.. :)
So far nothing I own supports the 300Mb band though..
The blueray player supports 150Mb
And my Android tablet looks like it's running at 72Mb
Still much better than G..
The rest of my stuff is hardwired eithernet, which runs at 100Mb Full duplex. It's funny that wireless is much faster than wired now.. Although realistically my blue ray player is actually only getting 100Mb because of the bottleneck at the router. But at least at 150Mb to the router I know it's getting every penny out of that 100Mb router connection. I ran a speed test from my steaming HD movie provider, and It says I can stream 720p HD lossless compression with uncompressed dolby digital sound, no buffering.. I think I'm going to celebrate by renting a shit load of HD movies tomorrow..
