[slim] Feature request - 802.11n wireless

2009-10-09 Thread kphinney
My hopes of the new SB Touch having 802.11n at 54ghz didn't pan out. For one, I'm going to hold off on buying any wireless product that doesn't support 802.11n using 5ghz. At present my entire network is capped by having two SB3s running at 802.11g 2.4ghz. This brings my top-end down from 540

As you probably know, cable length restrictions are about timing tolerances and Ethernet protocol efficiency / error detection. I do believe that there is quite a bit of robustness built into Ethernet and that the tolerances likely have a good degree of safety factor; but I don't think you can
