    seen this on Zeptos website, they reccomend using it with a Dlink 635 draft n router which I already have, just wondering who makes this for Zepto and do u really get any real speed boost?

    I am currently using the internal Intel g wifi on my 6214W I get an average transfer rate to the router of about 1.4 MBytes, I remember with my old Laptop (had PCMIA) with a 108MBs DLink Cardbus I use to get 2.7Mbytes per second.

    I aslo have a MAC mini in the room that transfers to my NAS drive at about 9Mbytes via ethernet, the way these new Draft N people claim is that at close range Draft N can almost match 100Mbit ethernet.

    can anyone at zepto give me some more info on the card and also why you are selling it so cheaper then Dlinks new express card

    Its been a while since a read about draft N wireless. But is it me, or have they yet to get all the kinks out of draft N.
    Things like the draft N devices interfear with B/G networks, and that it doesnt deliver the real world performance that the specs say.

    And is it still called DRAFT N. Selling devices using tecnologi with the word 'Draft' in it, is bad carma in my world.

    Im sorry this post wasnt really constructive, and more just more questions.

    But if anyone knows id also like to know.

    Cheers
