The unit appears to be g/n protocol, but single band (2.4 GHz),  
compared with dual band units (2.4 & 5.8 GHz) - you need dual-band  
support to take full advantage of 802.11n, but this in no way makes  
these 'bad' units, just not as capable as other, more costly units.

I ran Cat5e all over my house (dual drops in each room), but I wish  
I'd created a 'wiring closet' on the 2nd floor, and run fiber to  
basement... I guess I could still do it, but current arrangement  
working fine...
