Good to hear you can get 108mbit speeds, the point I was trying to make 
is that the hassle of buying two of a specific single vendor equipment 
gear that have made their own home made 108mbit standard isn't worth it 
for me.

I suppose if you didn't use your laptop anywhere but at a single place 
such as just using a laptop only at home and you needed the speed (and 
your were sure you could reach it) you could buy a set of wireless gear 
from a single vendor with their own 108mbit standard and hope it works.

To me I decided its a mistake to try and make my choice of what wireless 
gear to buy on non standard 802.11 pre-N creation that will only work 
with 1 single vendor and probably only a single point in time in their 
product line.
