It's not "an expert", it's the VP of engineering at one of the leading

That's kind of an edge case :) I'm sure

The N standard (such as it is) has full backwards compatability with G.
There is no performance penalty associated with a mixed G/N network a

For me the combination DIR-635 as router and DAP-1353 as Access Point in
Repeater Mode works great. Now I have a really good wireless strenght
throughout the whole house ( never under 80% :-) )
However, before I got this to work I had to spend some great time with
the the D-Link telephone support.
the obvious requirement for N has nothing to do with slim, and
everything to do with the router.
a LOT of wireless networks are BETTER when the router need only support
N instead of a mixed mode of G and N or B, G and N.
it would be nice for slim to allow customers to pick N so mixed mode
was no
Just to agree with "Pascal Hibon", the standard is not agreed upon. It
may happen this year, it may not. IEEE moves in mysterious ways.
There is no "need" for an 11N router in the SlimDevices world. The
bandwidth requirements do not push 11G.
Some of the better "11N" marketed routers use 5 gHz b

I thought that 802.11n includes MIMO, which could help increase the
range.

Just keep in mind that 802.11n (or MIMO) is not a standard yet. It is
still in draft. The current draft is 2.0 I believe. If for some reason
the draft gets important changes, those changes could affect hardware
requirements of Access Points. The IEEE will need at least until the
end of 2008 before
I chose the Belkin N1 Vision wireless router in part because it has a
display on the router where I can clearly see which devices are
connecting and the bandwidth they are utilizing. It has four Ethernet
ports as well. The browser-based config tool has been easy to use and
full featured. The fi

I use the Netgear WNR854T N which replaced a Netgear Rangemax G+ that
was about 10 mths old when I replaced it in Feb. I made a huge
difference with both my Laptop and my SB3. I don't know how it works
with the Duet but I'd highly recommend it for laptops and the SB3. You

The wireless portion of Zyxel and Drayteck routers historically have
caused problems, I don't know if this is still the case.
There are a few new routers utilising the 5GHz portion of the 802.11n
spec. However this won't benefit G users as it is 2.4GHz only. It's not

Still, a list of working routers would be better than nothing. If I get

Also, If enough people say which routers do not work then I will get a

If you want a router that is reliable with the Controller, then you
want a reliable router.
Unless there are any forum members with a collection of routers to do a
comparison you're just going to get a list of working routers.

What 802.11n router is as reliable as possible with the Controller?
Maybe the Squeezebox people could say what routers they develop with?
