    I thought all you needed was a router with a 3 antenna configuration for that. No?

    I'm curious too; I'm eventually planning on upgrading my network.

    unfortunately no.. :(
    I have a wireless-N router with 3 antennas but the max speed from the router itself is 300Mbps..

    They had TRENDnet TEW-773GR 450Mbps router on CES 2009

    3 antenna are only part of it, most routers really only need two.

    You need 3 receivers(?) in the router, so far they are only dual, each can carry only 150mbps. There are laptop cards with 3, but no routers.

    Be quiet you!
    I'm lucky to see 8mbps internet as is most of the country (and North America in general).
