I also have a N wireless adapter from Linksys too. The USB data drive on the router doesn’t work well, actually it doesn’t work at all. The speeds are GREAT! I usually have speeds of 216-270MBps and I’m pretty far away from the router. (Routers on 1st floor I’m on 2nd). It’s speeds are enough to make up for the price alone, when hardwired through Comcast I receive no data loss and have speeds of 20-35MBps. When through wireless using Speakeasy I have speeds of 18-22MBps.

One thing I have noticed is that under heavy usage the MBps go down, sometimes as far as 160MBps but that’s pretty rare.

Which is good for pushing more data. Use case would be playing a DVD .ISO stored on a NAS over the network (wireless) on a modded XBox (XBMC).

802.11g simply does not have the bandwidth required.
