Ah, only 100mbit and 802.11B/G.

I'm not familiar with anything past simple networking - is it possible to prevent your whole network being slowed to 100mbit while still using this device?

Ubiquiti does have newer 802.11n / 5GHz APs too.

If you wire it into a gigabit switch, only that port on the switch should operate at 10/100.


And in my experience you don't even get 100 Mbit. Comcast recently doubled my download speed to 60 Mbit and I quickly realized my WRT54G was only capable of downloading up to 30 Mbit. Typically I'd expect to see close to 10 MB/sec over 100Base-T but I was getting about 3.5 MB/sec max. It seemed to only be on the WAN port because I was able to stream stuff from my NAS at close to 10 MB/sec. It was disappointing so I upgraded to the WNR3500L which is working great. Both were running DD-WRT and worked well with it.
