Thanks for the rec...I'm reading about yours now.
What kind of range do it have? My router is on one end of the house on
the second floor and the Tivo antenna will be on the other end of the
house, but on the first floor. The width of the house is about 60 ft (a
little less since everything is inside). These two devices have the
qreatest distance. Right now, I'm using a linksys wrt54g with a wsb24
booster. That gives me around 68 to 72 signal strength on the tivo. One
day I plan to use an iPad down there and my droid phone, too. I have a
laptop in the kitchen but it works fine as it is a good be closer.
Do you use the usb feature for external network storage? Do you backup
this way?
Also, do you stand your up vertically? I would think the antennas would
be positioned better with a vertical orientation rather than lying flat
as I see in the pics. ONe problem with the Cisco version is that it
seems to be designed to lay flat on the surface.

If you are using n, then get a dual band router.
This way all the n devices are in the n band and the non n devices are
in the g band.
I recommend the WNDR 3700. I have one and it rocks!

Subject: [H] Moving on to 802.11n
So I hear that Tivo now has an 802.11n wireless adapter.
I get spoiled watching HD movies from Amazon on my Tivo XL.
Having the speed of 802.11n would make the transfers faster.
But my laptops are 802.11b and g. Will they work on an 802.11n system?
Are the backward compaticable?
Would my new phone (Droid Incredible), when I get it, be able to use
802.11n on its WiFi? What about an iPad? Is everything new these days
802.11n ready?
I just read the descriptions of two different products on Amazon and
neither of them mentioned backwards compatibility. That makes me think
it's not there.
If it is there, which router is best?
