I purchased this router to increase the range compared to my 4 year old Belkin g router. After setting it up and talking to tech support for 2 hours, I still get the exact same signal (very low) as I did with the old g-class router. I am using an Asus netbook with an n wireless adaptor, but the DIR 655 performs exactly the same as an old g router from about 40 feet away. 6x? 14X? "extreme-n"?. The exact same performance as a g-class router, the only difference is that the DIR 655 is more expensive.
