    The Netgear WPNT834, which is a Mimo router, not only works great with the Intel cards and others, but it resolved my connection problems with the 2915 card and every other non pre-N wifi I have in other units work better with it- stronger and more stable connections

    They sure seem to praise the Linksys SRX-400 for it's high speed over long distance. Just when i was thinking about getting a Netgear 240! Well, the SRX is cheaper and getting far less complaints than the Netgear so i guess SRX is it then!

    I have had GREAT luck with the SRX line of routers, installed countless times.

    BTW, Draft N is now out with the Linksys WRT300N. Can't wait to try it out with the matching card, should get killer range and speed.

    um....the Linksys router can be had for ~$130-150 street price. Thats pretty **** reasonalbe to me compared to what the current top model mimo G routers are going for.
