It will connect to the main wireless base station, a Netgear WGR614, via a Cat5 cable. We have a couple of n machines. Will we get n speed from the AE?... more »

|
| |
I don't mean *all* other, but there is a consortium of ISPs who have pledged to cutoff usenet access in the fight against child porn. I think Verizon cut off the entire alt. tree. Comcast is now pulling the plug.
