hold up&#33; first of all, that router is only 30 bucks? and secondly, what&#39;s with the 108Mbps speed? i&#39;ve never even heard of that, and i work on networks fer a living. have i missed something?

i know 10/100/1000 for wired ethernet, and 11, 22, and 55 for wireless, what&#39;s the 108? [/b][/quote]
You quote 11,22 and 55 for wireless.

802.11b standard goes up to 11mbps, but by using two frequencies at the same time you can get bidirectional rates each at 11mbps which is quoted as 22mbps.

802.11g standard goes up to 54 (not 55) mbps. I believe the higher data rates are achieved by using multiple frequencies which didn&#39;t leave very much over for bidirectional access. I assume this has now been overcome, so they are quoting bidirectional rates of 108mbps.

I don&#39;t understand what they mean by "up to 15 times faster" though.
