    802.11n "super lite" ?

    Just fiddled with some of my access points, Since I might need to install one at a clients site tomorrow, And when I tested it on my packard bell dot s atom netbook, I saw I get only 72mb connection on a 300mb access point, Even if i'm near it.
    Tested it on 54mb router and it did give 54mb.....Then connected it to a 300mb ROUTER, And again just 72mb near it......Hmmmm.....this packard bell is manufactured by Acer, So it might be a flaw in all the netbook models of them. Although the specs of these comps clearly say they have a 802.11n adapter built in.....

    Ummmm i think packard bell is acer's cheaper line that they bought. But I don't think they actually made it. I think PB does its thing under acer.
    It's quite possible the nic is maxed out at 72,you might update the drivers.
