From the Guide, “The new base station is amazing. We achieved a 10x
performance boost, and a 3x usable range increase!” We achieved over
9 MB/s in short range lab testing with a MacBook Pro. Long range
testing was equally impressive. At 300 feet (with a building in the
way), we reached transfer rates of 500 KB/s.
