I had a D-Link wireless router and found its wireless throughput to be -
well - pathetic...

Yes, same problem here - 9 wifi AP's (three new ones over the Easter
weekend) but seemingly randomly spread across channels...

I was quite surprised to find that the NetGear FWAG114 that I bought to
replace the existing NetGear WPN824 had better throughput straight out of
the box - even sticking to 802.11g. It must handle congestion better.
