DUDE! I don't know what kind of Wireless-N router you are using but my Linksys E3000 is rated at 300 Mbps (37.5 MB/sec) and actual throughput at best is only about 150 Mbps (18.75 MB/sec) running on 5 GHz band with nobody else using that band in my neighborhood.

Second of all, what is M/sec anyways? Meters per second? Because M/sec doesn't describe anything related to computers, routers or networking. I'm just saying.

I'm not talking about using a wireless router. I'm talking about a wireless access point. Combining devices is convenient but not a good idea technically. A router should be a router. A wireless access point should stand on its own. Linksys is crap. We use Pakedge exclusively.

The biggest problem you get with consumer grade items is they tend to be rated in terms of one single stream working at a time. Enterprise grade equipment is rated by the port. That's why on a Linksys you get subpar throughput.

As for my M/sec comment... sorry to confuse you. I figured people would understand my shorthand. Everyone but you seemed to get it.

Usually consumers buy consumer grade equipment... If you buy enterprise equipment for home use, it's your money. It's not like your going to find that "Pakedge" equipment at you're local consumer electronics store. In my opinion Linksys Cisco routers are pretty damn good for home use. I understood your "shorthand" but since people use this forum to educate themselves, shouldn't we use proper terminology?
