It appears I’m not getting any sort of 802.11N benefit with my 5 year old 2nd generation apple airport extreme. I thought you could get up to 130Mbps. I can only think that there is a good amount of wireless interference on the 2.4Ghz spectrum. Performance really dropped 30ft away in another room with a few walls in the way. I think getting a dual band router will improve performance, especially if I can use the xbox on the 802.11A range. I would like to look to utilize the xbox360 as a TV tuner..but I really really do not want to run cat5e around the place. I currently can only run the airport extreme in either 2.4 or 5ghz, and the oldish airport express only supports 2.4ghz.<\/p>\n
