CompUsa.com has a deal I saw on dealmac.com for a Netgear WGM124
Pre-N Wireless Router for $40 after rebate. <http://dealmac.com/
artclick.html?92380,132898>.
This router uses a preliminary version of the 802.11n standard,
which provides for increased range ("up to 20%") and speeds over
802.11g. (It's backward-compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b.) Deal
ends August 6.
Well, you'll not get any of the 'Pre-N' features, so your range may
not improve.
Their web site indicates an improvement in range for 802.11b and g of
"up to 20%." The claims for increased range for Pre-N are
significantly higher.I guess I could buy it and return it if this
turns out not to be the case. I'm still trying to get info on how
many Ethernet ports the device has. I've sent CompUsa an email and
left a voice mail.
Second, you don't need a PC slot to use the router, only the card
for the PC. (which you're not using.)
Right. I was talking about the "Pre-N" PC card. So at least
theoretically, one could get the "Pre-N" features with this card.
Their spec sheet for the router includes Mac OS, but the one for the
card does not.
I'd still llike to hear from anyone who has experience with Netgear.
Thanks,
