It's the same as all the "pre-N" stuff on the market today, k-flex vs
USR's v90 vs ITU's v90, etc - its all the competing precursor
"standards" before official ITU / ISO / IEEE standards are ratified.

I think a core problem there are the drivers more than anything.  Also I
think its running in the 2400MHz range, same as most wireless phones.
While we don't have a wireless phone our neighbor does and could be
causing some interference there.

> Also, they indicate supposedly compatibility with 11g.

I saw that, I need to verify which edition my router is.
