    Apartment Wireless N - High congestion and erratic speeds at 2.4ghz. Options?

    I wanted to thank everyone for their help and to post a short update. Despite the suggestions of going through moca or powerline, I decided to try the 5ghz band first. In the end I purchased a WRT400N as well as a WET610N bridge, since according to the review here, they seem to work...

    Why so few Wireless N Dual Band adapter PCI cards, only USB adapters instead?

    I don't think either of the responses has addressed the original poster's questions, which is about dual band adapters. Single band 2.4ghz adapters are extremely common as internal pci/pci-e cards for pc's. Dual band cards that support the 5ghz band, however, are a different story. I'm also...

    Thanks for your help Steve. The numbers I'm reporting are not the link speed (1), but the actual measured thoroughput (2), which I'm measuring by watching a live graph of the actual transfer rate while copying large file from a computer on my lan to a computer in my office via wireless. I'm...

    Apartment Wireless N - High congestion and erratic speeds at 2.4ghz. Options?

    Hi! :) I'm currently living in an apartment complex that's thoroughly saturated across the 2.4ghz spectrum (15 or so other networks). I get relatively good signal strength all around the apartment, and in the late evenings / very early mornings when I'm probably the only person awake, I can...
