no not yet, but 11n MiMo is very new for most people so your a first and can give us a real life rundown of its performance.

whats at the other end? a matching PCI or cardbus 11n and whats the real data rate you have had so far?.

the namings a tricky one 'Gigabit Edition' as it implys its got wireless gigabit throughput for consumer markets, as in the commercial sector wireless WiMax such as this http://www.onfiber.com/press/index.c...0&contentID=10

however the gigabit part in your router is infact hardwire rj45
Data link protocol: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n (draft)
Data transfer rate: Up to 300 megabits per second
Interface: 4 x RJ-45, 1 x Radio-Ethernet
thats fine but people need to read these things and understand their getting a gigabit RJ45 not wireless......

still if the unit gets above 100Mbit real wireless speed when connected with other 11n only kit then thats a good thing.
