The Router Diaries

David Pogue of The New York Times tells his horror story behind the installation of four 802.11n wireless routers.

"they said well first of all, reinstall windows" lol

Maybe someone needs to tell this guy that the 802.11n standard isn't even finalized yet. He's probably using a pre-n router, or most likely a MIMO router which is just basically 802.11g on steroids. Last time I checked 802.11n was estimated to be finalized in late 2008.

Upvote for the "re-install windows" line from tech support though. That's the magical fix-all solution to any problem. Actually it's really just a way to get rid of you for several hours and hope his shift ends before you call back.

hah this is funny *comedy

Jim, it doesn't matter if the standard isn't nailed down yet, you can't go around with the same company's N transmit/receive gear and get 1/10th the claimed performance.
