Don't let me defend fuzzy thinking, but I believe that the slower frequencies are not just more resistant to interference, but also use FHSS. So, ostensibly, running at 2 Mbps might produce less interferring signals and be less interferred with? Airtime t'ain't the issue, I hope. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Glenn Fleishman, Unsolicited Pundit: read my work at http://glennf.com freelance journalist for Wired, New York Times, Seattle Weekly, et al Practical Mac columnist, Seattle Times http://seattletimes.com/ptech/ interested in wireless 802.11b networking? http://80211b.weblogger.com I live in Seattle, WA.
