    I just read the sticky,"The Nickspohn Wireless Guide" and I was wondering why there has not been an update that includes Windows 7 and the wireless N varient?

    Unfortunately update won't be enough- it has to be written from the scratch.
    It's in the pipeline- I wrote a little 3rd party firmware comparison recently and a router buyer's guide is half-ready (it's soft-deleted so you can't see it for now).

    New wireless guide is the last thing to be published as it 's going to be rather long and I'm going to have to find a lot of sources for citations. There are lots of things I know but don't remember where I found them and since it's not common knowledge I'll have to be able to prove I'm not making things up.

    Anyway- I realize that I'm way too slow and I apologize for that. I'll try to finish the router guide ASAP and start with new wireless guide.

    Looking forward to the new wireless guide :)

    It makes sense in my opinion and adds to it's credibility, that it will be authored by a member going by the name of downloads ;)

    I'd rather you take your time and make a nice guide. Looking forward to it as well.

    Thanks- I will certainly do so if I become stuck at some point.
