Seems like a good deal but I cannot verify it is draft 2.0
Funny thing--Best Buy sells this two-pack combo (not refurbbed, mind you), for $199. Y HALO THAR MARKUP!
I bought one of these with the intent of setting up a wireless bridge off of a nearby wireless network and I forget what it was, but these devices don't support it. OH RIGHT, they didn't support wireless G. These devices are designed to work with each other, natively, in N mode. Forget about using them in G or B mode as they don't support it.
Tempting... I wonder how hot it is... my d-link pocket router is too hot...
#2 Some discussion of this over at Newegg. One reviewer is pretty stubborn that they will talk to a b/g network:
"Had the two units talking to each other in no time. Just use the push button connect method. I have my TiVo and my PS3 connected to it and can tell a huge difference in speed. You can use it with your existing 2.4 GHz wireless network. I connected the AP unit to my 2.4 GHz wireless router with no problem. They don't interfere at all. You don't have to buy a 5 GHz router for this to work like some lead you to believe."
And I'm looking for a G access point unit. Darn.
#4: That reviewer is talking about connecting this 5GHz access point to an already existing 2.4GHz B/G router. In this setup, the B/G clients connect to the B/G router while N clients will connect to the 5GHz AP. Obviously there is no reason why this setup should not work; so this is a good deal if you already have a B/G router (and who doesn't these days?) and would like to add N support.
Holy crap, these really are only Draft 802.11n and 802.11a compatible with no support for 802.11b or 802.11g. Plus, they only have 10/100 Ethernet. That's kinda sucky.
I have a pair of these acting as a bridge between my movie server and HTPC. They are basically designed for HD streaming and they work very well at that; no drop-outs or stutter during playback. They operate only in the 5Ghz band for smooth HD streaming by avoiding interference from devices like cell-phones, microwaves etc. that operate at around 2.4 Ghz.
It is just amazing! After all this time wireless "N" has still not yet been standardized. Ever product now claiming to be wireless N is actually "pre-N".
This is a great deal! Thanks Ben!
