My HP dv6000t Wireless-N Setup Experence

I built a new desktop and unlike my old one it has a Gigabit NIC. The dv6000t having a Gigabit wired port I decided to retire my old Linksys wrt54g v 2.0 and take advantage of the wired file transfer speeds and get a router with that would handle it.
So I got a Trendnet TEW 633GR. After enjoying the wired speeds I decided to try an N-draft expresscard adapter. All I could find locally was a Linksys WEC600N.
After getting it all up and running I tested by downloading the large Vista x64 SP1 update and experienced speeds in the 290 Mbps area @16 feet away and through a wall. This was unexpected because before the download test as I moved into the other room 16 feet away it fell to 162 Mbps but rock steady. Thats 3x faster than my G setup. Then as I started the SP1 download and it ramped up into the 290's. I stopped the download and it ramped down to 162. Kind of an on demand thing.

As in most networking setup procedures I had some hurdles.

The router came up fine but the internet connection took some figuring out. The steps that got it was to disconnect and pull the power from the ARRIS cable modem. Then resetting the router using the rear pin hole. Then reconnecting the cable modem's power and resetting it the same way. Then I got lazy and ran the "Network Magic" (a more recent version from Trendnet's site) utility that came with the router and let it set it up.
To get the speeds stable I went into the adapter through device manager in the advanced tab and disabled "Minimum power consumption".
It's all good now.

@ a constant 162Mbps Webb cruising is snapper indeed. When I download a file it ramps up. No dropped connections in several hours.
