Link confirmed at 300Mbps

I’m pleased to report that Shawn Z seen here conducting a demonstration of the WRT300N at our March meeting has completed some field testing confirming the unit is capable of speeds of up to 300Mpbs. Shawn will be exploring a number of tests under conventional conditions using Microsoft OS and will be writing up a report soon.

On the Open Source front our code development team Chris C and Troy V have been exploring operating parameters of the CPU running under FreeBSD and currently this is looking favourable. The main difficulties at present are the availability of open source drivers for the Atheros AR5416 wireless chipset (mini-pci) which apparently not that far away.

News will be posted as it comes to hand…
