Reviews of the Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti wireless notebook adapter

CNET Review
The Good: Like all notebook adapters, the Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti notebook adapter is a snap to install and connect. With the Nfiniti router, it showed impressive performance as compared to other Draft N pairs.
The Bad: Because the Nfiniti router supports only mixed-mode operation, you can't get throughput as fast as those that offer single-mode operation. Regardless, the numbers are still well off the maximum throughput stated by the first draft of the 802.11n spec.
The Bottom Line: While the Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti notebook adapter made a good showing in mixed-mode throughput testing, we still think it's too early to invest in Draft N technology.
