Do you have any clue how Mimo works (and that specific model is mimo but
called n even though there are no n specs yet)....
think of a lightbulb that puts out light in a circle (that's what a b and
g/non mimo) do, now think of a lighhouse where the beam circles sround and
is focused in one direction at a time as it turns... that is EXACTLY what
mimo and linksys's so called N does..... you are seeing is EXACTLY what it
is designed to do (signal strength high-low-high-low-etc)... If you want a
constant signal that is the ame strength crosecond to microsecond, consider
any of the OTHER devices that are sold, think star wars, stay far far away
from mimo/n......
Although you claim you read every reveiw, obviously you didn't, cuz every
one I have read says exactly the same thing....and they do NOT recommend it
for constant signal speed/levels.......
