A few questions (advice/help please)

yeah, good routers out there now usually can do both N/G mixed mode now.

(rather than allowing two different "channels" of the same speed).

My DIR-655 would do 300Mbps on my laptop while my mom's netbook was connected at 54Mbps. It wasn't dual-band either. However it was flaky overall, requiring a reboot fairly often.

I bought a Linksys WRT400N Router and all new N cards. Its Simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz and it works out good for me because I need the 2.4GHz for the extra range and I can use the 5GHz for the closer PC's. I was going to buy the WRT610N but I didn't really need the USB port or the gigabit switch and for the extra money I saved I am happy with it. Also I still haven't had a chance to mess around with the setting or even really use the Internet much since I got it. Thanks for the help
