    I'm going insane right now. It seems that pretty much none of the expensive single band wireless-N routers get speeds over 150kbps at best. Most of it has to do with how there are so many variants of wireless-N and most N routers are actually a 20mhz single band and to get 300mbps, you need a full dual band.

    Thus far, I've fought it out with a Linksys WRT350N and had didn't get any speeds over 150kbps. It was a very nice router though, but it cost a fortune @ $179. I'm sending it back today as well.

    My next guinea pig is going to be a little cheaper. It's the Netgear Dual-Band WNDR3300 and seems to have the proper features needed to get my little Intel 4965AGN WAN card in my new M1530 to work properly since it's really picky.
