I believe you, and the physics. The question is perhaps, do the 5Ghz access point and stations implement everything correctly to get this benefit. > Please don't repeat this urban legend.

I even took the 4th year EM course from EE. My 2.4Ghz spectrum has a periodic (120s or so) blast from something which makes ssh often unuseable... then it goes away for a few months... I have some screen captures somewhere from wavemon. More radios, I agree. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] mcr@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
