It's fine for Internet access, casual file sharing and printing. If you want to do a daily backup of a gigabyte or more of data, you may be disappointed.
I realize I'm diverting from the original question (because he's asking about hardware he already owns) but the 802.11N looks like an almost done deal. In a computer show a couple of months ago I saw D-Link 802.11Nhardware which already went through one firmware upgrade to comply with the latest standard's draft (the standard is expected to be closed in September 2008). Does anyone here have practical experience with 802.11N? It sounds like it should be able to replace, and sometimes even improve on, current 100Mbit "wire-full" networks. --Amos Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11n#802.11n
