I found your article very helpful - but my model doesn't have an AP switch on it. Does this mean I will not work properly.

The Netgear and Airport express are both routers. So if you take it on the road with you, you can share your connection with multiple users for the Netgear and Airport, but not the asus.

For two reasons. 1. If I am copying files between PCs on my network.. Throughput is about 4-5x faster for this... 2. As I get farther away from my G router, i still have a speed that is useful. At an area where I was only getting about 2mb on B, I was getting about 10mb on G. Finally, G routers are almost the same price as B. Why not get more speed for the same price? BestBuy had the Netgear G pocket router for only $49 after rebate a few weeks ago. For me, G is better. For two reasons.

I was referring to the average user surfing the web on a 300kbs - 1.5mbs no big deal. :o
