300 Mbps WiFi routers arrive in SA

It does not look like this has as many features as the Netgear. Neatgear's site say theirs is compatable with b & g devices.

A RangeMax NEXT wireless network creates and maintains stable connections and enough bandwidth to surf the Internet, download emails, make Internet phone calls, share files, and stream high-definition videos, simultaneously** at any distance or location in the SOHO. Because RangeMax NEXT is compatible with all legacy b and g wireless products, you are sure to be connected. The RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Access Point connects to any router to extend your network.

if they work and can fit external aerials then i'll have a look!
 
But it still have only 10/100 LAN ports. Why can't they add Gigabit ports? I thought it would make sense with the higher WiFi speed?
Maybe they're pulling a trick from the South African Telecoms Handbook - limit the speed each user has access to (especially if using the 4 ports to connect additional routers to 'extend the network') in order to overload more concurrent users simultaneously? ADSL must surely be excelling at this practice :eek:
