Hi, I'm still a little confused by this. As I understand it, I would need a two-stream repeater which wouldn't half the data rate, but I'm still struggling with what data rate to expect. The bebox is indeed set to 20Mhz (but can be put into 20-40mhz mode through telnet). However, it ought to have a data rate of 130mbps out of the box (which is what windows reports)? If the 20mhz setting restricts it to 65Mbps (and 40mhz is ill-advised due to interference), then what's the point of wireless N over G which gives you 54Mb. So, unless I'm mistaken, the repeater should halve the 130 mbps rate to 65 (which is what windows reports), and that surely ought to be enough to support a 20mb download? I'm sure I've got something wrong. Just wondering what it is...
