802.11n Update

I returned the crappy Linksys router and got an Apple Airport Extreme access point.

With it running 802.11n in 5ghz only mode, and with WPA2 turned on I get ~15mb/s with my ftp test. I'm seeing a 3x speed bump over 802.11g. Not too bad.

The only thing that does suck is losing all of the configuration options available in DD-WRT. This is mitigated by the fact that the last thing I want to have to worry about doing is tweaking my router. I just want it to route my packets.

I have to setup a syslog server on my network to handle logging, though.
