Billion BiPac USB 2.0 Wireless N Adapter

Billion BiPAC 3011N USB Wireless Adaptor
Having just purchased the Billion Dual Wan 7800N wireless adsl 2 router i decided to purchase the wireless 3011N USB Adaptor only to fined out that it doesnt run at 300mbs but 150mbs, when purchasing this their was lack of technical details but thought as it was the top of the range wireless usb it would run at the speed indicated.

I will be contacting My Memory.co.uk to discuss further, but Amazon shouldn't have this on their site if technical and up to date infomation isnt forthcoming. will be looking for replacement or product that runs at 300mbs
Reliable.
This device needed the associated CD to be installed on my XP system. Install was very simple (click ok, click ok) and it connected to my wifi with ease. I left it running for two weeks and copied a vast amount of data over it without a single error.

I already have the Billion 7800 wireless modem router which is fantastic. I was having trouble with my Sony Vaio laptop not being in range at the other end of my timber framed house so I thought a Billion N USB adapter would cure the problem. I have spent a great deal of time on it with different signals eg. N only, N+G etc., different encryption, reinstalling the software and updating all the firmware but the signal remained very poor. I have Vista on both computers. I was about to give up when I tried to set the Billion up as a relay station instead of an internet receiver. It then acted as an access point and relayed the signal to the laptop's internal wireless receiver. Hey presto, wonderful signal, superfast internet. So the thing definitely works but if you are using it on an external computer that doesn't already have an internal wireless receiver, then...
