Given the compatibility issues with Draft-n I just wondered if anyone has got their G1S to work with a Draft-n access point at _fast_ (quicker than 802.11g) speeds?
Main options seem to be Belkin/Netgear and Linksys but if none of them get fast speed with the G1s draft-n chipset then I might as well stick to an 802.11g access point!

I'm using mine with the DIR-655. With the 1.0.2 firmware for the dlink router I noticed some lag playing guildwars from the wireless. However when I updated the firmware it works great. I haven't done any large file transfers yet, but the range is really good.

Its buggy, the card is fine but router firmware is very important, so is you computer firmware.
Toms Hardware had a review of draft n routers and some models were leaps and bounds better than others rather then them all being side by side like it should be. -
If you are going to get a draft N router I'd highly recommend the DIR-655.

I would suggest geting a N router on which you can flash a third party firmware on like DD-WRT or OpenWRT.

The DIR-655 is a router - I don't need a router (have a Cisco already) but just a plain old access point. anyone used one of those with the G1s?
-
Its odd. I Can't seem to connect at n speeds either.

What are you doing to use/test N speeds? Dont forget you need to have every connection to a router/ap as a "n" connecton for it to use n mode.
If you have even one "g" or lower connection it will broadcast in the older mode instead because n is not compatible with the old signals.
Put your router/ap in "n mode only" -
I changed the wlan card in my W2P to the Intel draft 'N' card...it didn't really work because it is a 3 antenna card and my W2P is a 2 antenna system....I then changed it to a Broadcom draft 'N' card (2 antenna version)....I definately experienced much higher transfer rates....However....I don't know why (maybe a system resource issue) but the Broadcom card made my Soundcard stutter very badly.....I confirmed that it was the Wlan card because when I switched off the Wlan it solved the problem. I have also experienced the same problem with readyboost using an SD card....If I'm playing a game or itunes, I have to eject the card.
There's been a couple of people on this site that have experienced soundcard stutter with Vista...anyone have any ideas what is going on?
FYI, my laptop is running Vista Ultimate (2GB RAM) and I am using a Linksys WRT 350N router (excellant router)
Anyone got G1s to work at 802.11n speeds?
