Hello there,
This is my first post here. I read an article on SmallNetBuilder about how to evaluate the true performance of your Wireless N Router. Well I got this new Linksys WRT320N and I have it on the 2.4 GHz frequency on mixed mode where I connect with my Intel 5100N card whereas other G devices are also connected to the router. So does that mean I'm losing a lot of performance? Also, it seems the range is the same as my old Linksys WRT54GR router. I was hoping I'd get my whole apartment covered but I don't get even one inch of coverage more than what I had before. Could that be because of the Mixed mode? On the 5GHz frequency I got half the current range.
Thank you for your time everyone.
