I forsee a future where the $40 will only get you 1 mbit.

Speaking of "5 mbit/sec bandwidth"...  My local cable provider (COX) just
started advertising their "premium" service.  Currently service is ~$40 for
3 mbit/sec bandwidth.  The "premium" service is ~$80 for 4 mbit/sec
bandwidth.  Who came up with that pricing model?  Completely rhetorical in
my case, but who would pay 100% more money for a 33% increase in service?

LOL, yea but I love in the country.  I have scanned using netstumbler and
all is deathly quiet around me.

Because of my location, I am on a cable leg with virtually no other web
users.  I get almost 5 mbit/sec bandwidth.  8-))

yes, you can specify the channels at both the router and the receiver, but
then you've got two channels to be interfered with by your neighbours wlans

Does anyone know if it is possible to use two WAN routers.  I have an old
802.11B router and want to get a new 802.11g router.  It would be nice to
set up both and have the wife's laptop (using the B protocol) use the
existing router and my laptop (using the G protocol) use the new router.  I
know that you can specify the channel number at the router, but can you nail
down the channel number at the receiving end?  IOW force the old laptop to
use channel 9 and my laptop to use channel 2 (or something like that).
