    How many (if any) routers support 450 megabits yet? I know the Intel Wifi 5100 and 5300 cards are still new and possibly there are more that support 450 megabits, but I'm just wondering what routers I could buy right now that support them.

    Thanks!

    I take it, it would mean 60Mhz channel width and 3 channels to get 450Mbps
    This in 2.4Ghz would also mean using all 3 non overlapping channels (1, 6 and 11) meaning congestion city in build up areas.
    Intel disabled 11n for 2.4Ghz in the i4965 due congestion using 2 channels, so wonder why they have gone down this path

    So are you saying that using a router that supports 450Mbps would cause a lot of wireless congestion? Hmm, I thought newer 802.11n standards use 5Ghz. Well maybe I won't worry about getting a router supporting it then.
