    Wrong technical info.

    This article, and their site, is wrong. They have their 802.11a and 802.11n backwards. 802.11a is 54 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, 802.11n is up to 300 Mbps on the 5 Ghz band (802.11n can also operate on the 2.4 GHz band like 802.11b and 802.11g, but not sure what the max speed there is. Neither operates at the 5.8 GHz as mentioned in the article.
