Re: Is the OR500 better then the Senao NL-2611 CB3?

Sweet setup.   Are the Linksys in g or b mode? Do you get any more speed with the g in real life testing? 
I am thinking that g may be my only other option and I am not sure if that will help. 

Here are some photos of my setup.

I don't have to deal with snow, but the computers are in a room on a roof. No AC. It's gotten over 100F. So far, so good.

Thanks
-Eddie
