Most of the time I spent was trying to get the graphical login screen back and "switch user" option, but it seems the management software for this new N WiFi card doesn't allow it.
But, the speed it's showing is over twice the speed. I should be getting a better signal, and I've turned off SSID broadcast (for what it's worth) and can still connect with all the devices in the house (Blackberry included). Dan says he is getting a stronger signal on his iPod touch, but it looks the same here on the PC in the gamesroom. Three antenna's on the router and PCI card should make some difference!
The item I got is from a manufacturer I've used before; German DLink. I like them and Netgear best. Although Linksys has devices that are very configurable (They're the consumer arm of Cisco) I've had issues with both their devices and support, so I don't like using 'em anymore.
Here's my kit:
1 x D-Link DWA-547 RangeBooster N 650 Wireless-N PCI Adapter @ £30.54 each
1 x D-Link DIR-635 Wireless-N Draft 2.0 Broadband Router @ £48.62 each
Sub Total £79.16
Delivery £3.75
VAT £12.44
Grand Total £95.35
The order wasn't dispatched as quickly as eBuyer, but I used BroadBandBuyer.co.uk because with their better selection I could find the Draft-N kit I wanted.
