[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1208122, member: 193366"] Would have to respectfully disagree here. I get about 12 Mbps better performance with the new 'n' router - but the statement could be true - depending on the data rate provided by the ISP. For instance - if you only have 10 Mbps service - then you may not see better performance - although there are some range enhancements provided by the 'n' spec. To the OP's original questions: Tough to guess. Electronic chipsets don't typically tend to degrade gracefully - at least not in a manner that would cause "slower" operation as you've described. When they go - they go - but in this case - I could think of scenarios where it might be possible. To better quantify your wired vs wireless performance use this site [url=http://www.speedtest.net/]Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test[/url] and report back the differences. Additionally - are you seeing any improvements in throughput if you're in the same room with the Airport Express? [/QUOTE]
