well thx, i did read it before i post to this forum, well actually important question is does extreme support up to 108mbps data rate ?

yea. it is draftN for extreme. But anyway, you do need that your wireless devices (macbook, or whatever laptop or gadgets) that can support wifi draft-N. Else, you will only get 54mbps or lower, depend on your wireless devices.

just a few words of wisdom:

when you run 802.11b, don't expect a troughput of 12mbps. it will be more likely 2mbps max

when it's on 802.11g, you'll roughly get 20+mbps, if you are lucky

when it's 802.11n, then i suppose you can get somewhere in the 50's

just don't be dissapointed, thinking that the 108mbps can outperform a solid 100mbps ethrnet cable, which has a consistency of about 80mbps.

suiryuu, take note of these.

In theory, It is 108mbps. But in the real world, usually you get around 80-90% of the speed due to 'wireless'. If it is further from the wifi router, the speed is much lesser wink.gif

don't quote me wrong. it's more like 40-50% efficiency, which means at 108mbps, you are likely to get 40 - 55mbps

really? Ouch. I tot it suppose to be around 80-90%. Didn't expect to be that "low" sweat.gif
