Hopefully the snowfall amounts are reasonable...I plan on heading out to BB/FS first to pick up the game and router, both stores open at 6 AM. Then I'll head to Superstore on Grant which opens at 7 to get the HDMI cable. Next I'll head down to London Drugs at St. Vital which opens at 9 AM to pick up the SLR camera.

How has the F5D8236tt4 frm FS been wrkin out? R there issues w/ the "draft 802.11n" ?

I ended up getting the D-Link. Installation was a little rocky because I had an existing b router but everything that was connected to the original 'b' router is connecting to the draft n fine because it has backward capability. I have notice increased range and speed with this new router and it the connection isn't disconnecting.

Nice!
Ive never had much luck w/ D-Link, But it seems tht there are benefits to having an N router tho the network might actually be running @ a lower speed (b/g)
Cool
Cheers!
