Best Wireless Router evAr!

So this weekend my dad calls me to hook up his new wireless router. They have been having connection problems with the netgear they have now. We have tried placing it all over the place but the signal was too weak. (Parents have a 2 story house in Tracy) So he gets this one.

After setting it up and testing it, all I have to say is WOW!! I could get full coverage from outside across the street

Now I need one for my house.

No shet when you have 3 antennas... but 'pre-n' means it'll be crap within 2 months when the real 802.11n is finalized.

Well my dad said he bought the last one. The salesmen told him they were flying off the shelves like hotcakes....mmmm...hotcakes, but I never trust a fry's salesmen. But so far so good.
Here's some info on it.

Yea but I really don't think their neighbors don't want to take the time to crack 128bit encryption. The funny thing is my parents live on the corner and when I do network scans, I pick up about 5 signals with their SSID's. The little 802.11g netgear couldn't cut it. PLUS, now my dad is happy and the networked color laser printer is happy (I really want one of those!!!)
